What's ironic is that I frequently read in this forum that "Hollywood has run out of ideas", which of course, is utter nonsense.
Then when a film like
Birdman, which is definitely different, original and creative, those same people say "Hey,
American Sniper was the best movie! Hollywood, you suck!".
