Oh I agree with that entirely.  A main part of the reason Hollywood sucks so bad right now, is that movies are made at the behest of marketing guys, not director vision.  That shift has slowly been happening since the 70s, but has accelerated greatly in the 2000s.   They want to make movies that make the most money, not that are the best movies.  I'm saying this in general, disregarding the previous PC comment.

The best movies are made overseas now.  Smaller film industries.  Less answering to censors.  Less answering to big money men.  More creative license.  Less Hollywood plastic star casting.   More adult themes, adult characterizations, and real people as actors.

This article, though a few years old, is for people who love film and are curious about the 'state of the industry'.  Highly recommend reading it.

All that said, PC culture is incredibly pervasive in Hollywood.  If you speak out against certain things, rightly or wrongly, you can be blackballed.
