likriktningen

I agree norskpro. I think in my mind there's a very slight distinction between "uniform" and "homogeneous", with the application of the latter in circumstances such as this implying negativity in a way that "uniform" might not. For me to take your comment as a negative assertion about the state of contemporary cinema, I'd need to see your facial expression and hear your tone at the same time. Whereas with "homogeneous", it's clearly not a compliment.

It can be very uniform, much of the same, and what is needed is more variety.

I agree Charles - cinema cannot be standardised (unless someone publishes some set guidelines). However, it can certainly be homogeneous! (Just take a look at the average list of films on at your local).

Personallly, I would have said "homogenization."

But if Sven doesn't suggest it here, I have to reconsider "standardisation" as being the more appropriate term.

I suppose though it is a matter of what to stress, and at the end of the day, a matter of one's personal opinion.
