Judd Apatow also described how many of the best comedy writers are actually focusing on television, resulting in a lack of exciting new movie scripts. He said,
>I feel like the studios don't buy as many scripts now. It used to be you'd open up Variety, and you'd see a movie studio had just bought a big high-concept comedy. Now it seems like they'd rather things come in packaged: a script, a cast, a director. As a result, a lot of great comedy writers are going to television instead of sitting at home and trying to write a script for a film, write the way I was.
Judd Apatow recently vented about his frustrations, saying:
>When you do a big, broad comedy and it fails, it's an easy target for criticism. I also don't think critics have a great respect for the effort it takes to make people piss their pants laughing. They think it's more honorable to show someone in torment, but being able to do that doesn't make you more of an artist than being able to make The Naked Gun. It's not hard to make people cry. Kill a dog.

His movies suck. The Naked Gun is way better than what he could ever hope to write.

The problem with mainstream comedy these days is that hacks like Apatow don't put any effort into making the audience laugh in the first place, they just get their cast to ad lib on set and hope something lands. They get no respect because the lack of effort is clear for all to see.

Judd Apatow literally ruined comedy films with his over-reliance on ad-libbing and giving jobs to unfunny hacks like Seth Rogan and James Franco.

Visual comedy is dead in film & the biggest ones that do are awful sandler projects

I hate him but he has a point. People always act like shitty dramas are so much more high brow just because a character dies at the end and makes them feel sad.

Good comedy stands the test of time. Hollywood is far up thier own ass that 85% of everything needs to be an established ip for it work. Creativity in films are dying & writers are moving on where they can see what they write more often than tossed away from meddling hacks. Fucking appletop here is working on his netflix show. The quality of his movies have been going in a decline since the beginning.
