“The sheer number of sequels and reboots doesn’t leave much room for big-budget movies with out-there ideas. In 1999, there were fewer than a half-dozen major-studio-released sequels—an almost unthinkably low number decades later, when release schedules often include more than thirty sequels or reboots per year. And no matter what kind of movie a director wants to make, studios are rarely interested in eking out modest sums on smaller, smarter projects—a model that made many of the films of 1999 possible.”

“It’s a remarkable about-face from the late nineties, when movies were considered a crucial part of our culture—and our daily lives. Watching them felt like a pleasurable duty; making them felt like a higher calling.”
