It's not your adulthood talking if you think the 90s as the "death of
Hollywood" when it produced filmmakers like Alexander Payne, Whit Stillman, Wes
Anderson, Darren Aronofsky, Quentin Tarantino, Spike Jonze, Sofia Coppola, etc.
as well peak level work from Eastwood, Lynch, Stone, Spike Lee and company. 
But then if you judge the decade by the Home Alone franchise . . . it always
sounds so cool to say that movies are getting worse but they never are.
