This trend does not exist, at least not with the movies. I keep thinking there isn't something good being released, but there is, right around the corner.
And all the "SHIT OMG" is just movies for a different audience. They probably think the movies you watch are terrible. If you have a self-righteous attitude about your taste in anti-mainstream movies, the reason people think your movies suck is because the movies are most likely boring or self-righteous themselves.
Some people just want to have a good time at the movies. Relax. Same goes for TV. I don't feel like dropping hours every day into twenty shows that question the human psyche. I'd much rather sit down and have a laugh with Modern Family, or How I Met Your Mother, or watch some competition-based shows like Survivor, Amazing Race, or hockey.
This is the same stupid argument people keep bringing up over games. "GAMES ARE GOING TO SHIT IN A HANDBASKET!!! OMG OMG OMG". The truth is, not every game, movie, tv show, hell even song needs to be deep and meaningful to be good. If it's fun to watch and you derive enjoyment from it, what's so bad about it?
Use your high horse to break out of your narrow box then get off the damn thing because it's stopping you from having fun. Although if you're like most of the zombies that can't enjoy anything without it having the label of "indie" or "foreign" on it, your ass is probably nailed to the seat of the horse so deeply that you can't come off it. I'm sorry for you, then, I truly am.
