The great days of Hollywood aren't with us anymore, we're in a period of decadence,&quot; he said. This summer Hollywood faced its worst blockbuster season since 1997, with X-Men, Transformers and even Spiderman failing to hit the spot and summer sales hitting just $4.05 billion (3.08 billion euros), down 15 percent from the previous year, according to movie sales-tracker Rentrak.</p><br clear="all"/>
