How Hollywood Killed Death
A Slate article from last year argued that Snyder’s formula has increasingly become dogma in Hollywood, rendering all blockbusters alike.

How Hollywood’s toxic (and worsening) addiction to franchises changed movies forever in 2014.
I did not begin 2014 by imagining that the most resonant movie moment of the 12 months to come would be a quiet, resigned stare-down in a bathroom. But it has been that kind of year. Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s Birdman tells the story of an actor trying to outrun a character that threatens to devour him.

"The Interview" Continues To Rake It In Online
In the wake of threats from hackers that promised backlash against the controversial film, movie theaters refused to screen it on its Dec. 25 release date. As a result, the film probably won’t be remembered for its mediocre comedy, but for the way it ushered in a new way for studios to premiere new films. As ReadWrite’s Adriana Lee noted, Sony didn’t need the cooperation of movie theaters to distribute a film to viewers.
