You'd never here Hollywood trying to sell a movie in today's dumbed-down culture on the basis that it will "challenge your intellect." Movies that do so nowadays, like "The Fountain," perform poorly at box office, unfortunately. And it was marketed more as a simple love story than a metaphysical journey.

Now a typical movie trailer is 30 seconds of boob and mindless violence. Oh how I miss the old days of science fiction that required thought while you watched it .

@hatchbx I agree.

"Challenge your intellect." Hmm... They didn't exactly advertised Jar-Jar Abrams' Trek movie with that slogan...

It is nice to remember (: those first steps of star trek into cinemas

Haven't seen this since I was a wee fry, but looking at this now, it seems obviously quite heavily influenced by Kubrick's 2001.

Wasnt The Fountain a limited release though?

I almost posted a snarky comment about how boring it was to me @ twelve when I 1st saw it, but yr post is so much more insightful re: the dumbing down of cinema. Thanks.

Yup, and to add to the problem is these huge multiplexes that is modelled to make money in the shortest possible time and fill it as much as possible.
