I think that the writers/directors these days lack some of the creativity that was around years ago. People like Hitchcock and to a lesser extent, Rod Serling, made you 'think', and didn't assume the audience was ignorant and needed the story spelled out for them. Hollywood has taken the low road with either "reality" shows or "confrontational" shows because it's cheap, no real actors, writers, storyline ect....just do something stupid, we'll film it, just pretend there's no camera.

I believe the difference between 'then' and 'now' is that 'then' you were an actor first and foremost, today all that seems to matter is 'celebrity', talent doesn't really mean much anymore.

Still, it's up to this generation, and the next...to demand better.
