After a lengthy phone call with a friend this afternoon, in which we both bemoaned the current state of remakes and reboots, I've written a lively and provocative essay called "The Content Trap." The argument is this: EVERY artist has a finite amount of talent and imagination. Sometimes the limit is reached with a specific project that runs too long or a group of people who fail to grow. Sometimes you hit the limit over the course of a career. So what artists do you believe have fallen into the content trap? And how can we resist this assault on artistic originality?
