Not remotely. As someone who came of age in the 1990s, I can say with complete confidence that it has never, ever, in the whole of human history, been easier for ordinary people to access more film content than it is today. If I had to pay every single time I watched a film, as opposed to opting to "buy" (say) Big Night, I'd still take that in preference to going to a fucking video store.
But either way this has nothing at all to do with housing affordability.
Watch the movie Big Night, to the end. Primo's short monologue on the beach after fighting with his brother Segundo.
Of course Guillermo del Toro would rather die.
Correct. In principle, a conveyer belt oven could produce good results by adjusting temperature and speed correctly, using quality ingredients prepared right, but almost all Americans do not want good pizza, and will be angry if they get it. They want bad pizza just like the last bad pizza they had.
It is practically impossible to teach people to want good quality when they are used to bad, and a reliably losing business strategy.
There was a movie about this: "Big Night" (1996, Isabella Rosselini, Stanley Tucci).
> the second best cooking movie after Big Night
This pal hasn't watched "Babbete's Feast".
