LOL...don't get too violent there...
Actually, I make it a point of following the media, and the trends that come about. Yes, there are plenty of moronic movies out there, but the thing is there have been plenty every other year, too. Empowerment through children is one that they have thrown out there over and over again for women. Ever seen
Baby Boom with Diane Keaton? Same general premise. I wonder which gender is behind the planning of these films.
Sitcoms, romantic comedies, raw action flicks, reality TV, etc. All of them are generally made with the lowest common denominator in mind. There are exceptions of course, but for the most part they have been putting this junk out at least since TV has existed.
