When I see the trailer for an upcoming release, it rarely manages to interest me in the film, let alone pique my curiosity enough to make me want to see it. Whereas classic Hollywood was driven by the goal of putting beautiful or otherwise appealing images on the screen, modern Hollywood seems to think that the grittier something looks, the better.
