Not happy with alienating himself from Hollywood by making Dreamhouse Sheridan has now said most of modern Hollywood's output is crap! This is from a man whose career went downhill years ago! As for those tools in Ireland who were 'inspired' by Sheridan to make films where are they now? Working mostly in television that's where. This blog is no fan of today's Hollywood movies but most successful directors working there have more talent than Sheridan. Most great Hollywood movies were made years ago before the 1970s. Everyone knows that. Saying modern Hollywood movies are crap is just daft. Most get made to make money. How many Irish features have made a profit. Less than 5% is the answer. Even better, Sheridan said this at a SDGI function. Most of those tools would get nowhere in Hollywood as they have no genuine talent for making feature films. However, the real problem with what Sheridan said is that most film fans either like Hollywood 'crap' or arthouse films. Neither of these types get made much in Ireland. Real film fans don't like the rubbish Sheridan directs which in one sentence are 'technically impressive film-of-the-week TV drama'!
