It's funny too, how they all pat themselves on the backs at the awards ceremonies and talk about the artistry and vision, but they clearly don't give a shit about it.
That isn't really true. It's different people involved - the artists really do care about the art, but they are joined at the hip to business people who don't care at all and just want to make more money.
Unfortunately that's not always the case. For example Lucas' meddling with Star Wars cuts isn't due to business people.
