I don't mind the dumb entertainment so long as I still get 2001, Blue Velvet, There Will be Blood, Goodfellas, etc. as well.
If I had to chose then I'd take 2001, etc as in the end (much as I actually like a big dumb movie) I'd take artistic films over entertainment movies.
I could do without movies getting as bad for story, coherence, etc. as Transformers 2 though - I've actually come to the conclusion it can't be viewed as a movie at all, instead I see it as a series of loosely connected sketches that form no actual whole.
Oh and Montana, Da Boot is fantastic - both artistic and entertaining. And 100% critical approval too!

Mind you the Directors cut (and best version) is just a tad under 5 hours if I remember correctly, so maybe not one for a Friday night with popcorn.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
