What do you think happens after someone peaks?

with kevin smith it was BECAUSE he started smoking weed. that shit destroyed his retard brain. he was much funnier when he was writing stoner movies while being straight edge.

You get older and lose your touch. It happens. Or if famous they get a big head and without a strong level of balance every single slop idea they have gets into the movies and nobody has the balls to say "wow thats fucking retarded so no".

it's not just a peak, it's like they've completely forgotten how to do it

every person only has so many good ideas. eventually you use them all

take edward zwick for example
he went from making movies like glory, the last samurai and blood diamond to making movies like love & other drugs
what the FUCK happened??

i disagree on a fundamental level, bro. a true artist will keep evolving and creating new shit until he dies. sometimes it's a new direction, sometimes it's the same direction as the last work, but even FURTHER into a niche corner of the concept. David Bowie kept re-inventing himself and innovating until the day he died. He made his death a work of art. But specimens like that are pretty rare. I think Lynch was equivalent.
