QotD: What's wrong with Hollywood

S. T. Karnick unintentionally summed up why Hollywood has lost touch with most of America in his recent review of Quentin Tarantino's new film.
Although Tarantino provides plenty of sensational and bizarre scenes in his films, they typically include vivid, interesting characters, occasionally clever dialogue, and strong story lines–while adhering to the contemporary cinema’s cavalier attitude toward both logical and psychological plausibility, its preference for the sensational over the sensible, its penchant for bad taste, its admiration for personal willfulness, and its advocacy of hedonistic utilitarianism.
Where have you gone, Gary Cooper?
