Hollywood used to have several distinctive aesthetics at work all at once, even if there was always a dominant one on top. Now if I think about many of its actors I find it hard to distinguish them because of lack of character, insipid interviews, elegant but hardly memorable dress sense. The videogame reference is interesting because the advent of the DVD and all these often useless extras encourage the viewer to interact with the movie, which is pointless if you really want to make an artistic statement. I'm more or less with David Lynch on that one.
