Between Bruckheimer’s complaints and Depp and Hammer blaming critics, it appears a lot of people are not taking the failure of “Lone Ranger” very well. This is a reaction I’m not used to seeing since it sounds like it’ll only exacerbate the issue of the film just not doing well.
For those of us who follow the cultural and career issues of the Hollywood meltdown that we’re kind of expecting, I wonder if we’ll see more of this.

Lately I’ve seen a trend in gaming that seems intriguing. It looks like we’ve got a new iteration on the Minecraft genre – games that involve self-created vehicles that are realized with voxel technology and completely independent components. We’ve got another iteration of games on the way that you, as a potential game creator or professional, should follow.
(By the way, yes, I called Minecraft a genre. I consider Minecraft to be a game that is both a game, but also has a general, archetypical nature that makes it a genre as well. Anyway, on with the post.)
Cracked continues to watch the potential Hollywood meltdown, and tags 2015 as the likely time it’ll go Kerflooie.
This one’s actually pretty data-heavy, and they have a point that 2015 looks like it’s going to be Blockbuster Mania. As in lots of Blockbusters, but also possibly the movie industry going the WAY of Blockbuster.
So the question comes up then – what happens if this does happen?
