So, I started watching Alphas, which I have found a little more entertaining.

I am finding the same for myself although I think I would take it a step further and say too much gratuitous 'anything'; sex, gore, way over the top violence, repetitive gross-out, ridiculous overuse of profanities, etc. I am far from a prude, and believe that within context, any of these
in proportion can have impact relevant to a given plot.
I am noticing that without a fairly substantial cerebral hook things just don't hold interest anymore. Allowing that each person is going to like different things, there seems to be more and more out there that I can't figure out how anyone could like it.
