Midnight movie

On a spontaneous decision to watch a midnight movie, we had to make a tough decision between Tooth Fairy and Legion. The first scored a 15% rating on Rotten Tomatoes while the latter an 18%.

Tough choice between shit and shittier.

What happened to the art of storytelling? Have audiences been dumbed down? Or has Hollywood's monopoly meant that film studios now shoot for the lowest common denominator?

Or has it always been this way and I've just become more discerning of where I put my money on now? Plus, with a wider array of entertainment choices, I don't really want to spend money at a movie being bored. (Lord knows how many movies I've tried to stay awake at).

But it's now our turn to be served at the popcorn counter. And if you're wondering, we went with Tooth Fairy, only because it had an earlier screening time and I have free movie vouchers.
