Hollywood releases include one farce and one repellent atrocity

For this season, two movies are premiering that're alternately laughable or disgusting:
Gone are the days of “It’s a Wonderful Life” wholesomeness for Christmas Day in the Hollywood community.

This year’s theatrical releases for December 25 include a film being touted for its explicit sexual content and a gothic horror film remake about a vampire who becomes obsessed with a young woman and takes over her sleep, giving her graphic nightmares.

First up, “Babygirl” starring Nicole Kidman has been generating buzz ever since it was first released following the Toronto International Film Festival in September. The movie’s description says, “A high-powered CEO puts her career and family on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much younger intern.”

[...] Another movie having a Christmas Day release is “Nosferatu,” a horror film starring Johnny Depp’s 25-year-old daughter Lily-Rose Depp.

The movie, written and directed by Robert Eggers, is a remake of the 1922 silent film by the same name and both are based on Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” novel from 1897.

The description calls it, “A gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.”
It's plenty bad the horror genre's become so dominant, and all the while, comedy's been all but kicked to the curb in today's Hollywood. And as for the Kidman starring vehicle, what's so special about a tale of an older woman/younger man affair? Many of these specific filmmakers would no doubt be unwilling by contrast to produce a film about a older man/younger woman affair. We could do without this latest example of what Hollywood hypocrisy led to. The film industry in the USA now is just so creatively bankrupt.
