One cant match quality with quantity. 42 films released this year, and how many of them will actually be decent ones to watch? Maybe 6-7 if lucky.
The lack of original ideas is affecting the genre deeply. It's about time new people with fresh ideas are welcomed. The Saw series have proved to be good examples.
There is a lot of talent and potential, but they have to realise it and do something creative and innovative, instead of re-hashing the films of yore.
Older film-makers need to take a backseat now, and let some young, creative juices take over.
Remember, a young Ridley Scott gave us Alien, a young James Cameron made a fantastic sequel to it, young Sam Raimi's genius shone in Evil Dead, etc.
No matter how many movies the established lot make, its always the newer generations which will think of something new, if the big film studios like Fox and Warner allow them to.
Creativity cannot be bound up, it can only be contained for a while.
