I agree. Not that it's Mojo's fault, of course. I'm just not impressed with the people in Hollywood now-doesn't mean anything to me. They're just not turning out good stuff now. Completely brainless trash. And then on the opposite end of the spectrum, you have these "art house", pseudo-intellectual films nobody wants to watch. They're just as bad, but bad in a different way.
Sorry for going off-topic...

I'd go so far as to say most of what comes out of Hollywood isn't good.

Let's not get carried away. Poorly written poor quality work does greatly out number the truly good, or great. But the fact is that has always been the case. But let's not say there is NO quality in Hollywood because I can tell you there is, even if, of course it's not as talked about, if talked about at all. But there is a huge world of film and television beyond the world of Hollywood, and that's just the English language. There's a lot of good stuff out there. And don't knock "art house" cinema, even the bad. Because without it all you would have is main stream projects, and that would not be a better world to live in.
Getting back on topic, the easiest way to spot a wanker (in any industry) is when he throws around his job title with flash comments about "how great it is to work in the biz, and "I like it and believe I know what I'm talking about." Real professionals don't talk like that. It's just something I'm not a fan of and take offence to.
