So, Hollywood has been saying that, well, it's because of outside factors like people wanting to see movies at home and so forth. But now, they finally admit it! It's because their movies...SUCK! That's why no one is paying to watch them!

The recent uptake in the box office, where better movies are being released, should be an example of that.

Movies do stink. Badly. Especially all those really bad the teen horror flicks. I borrowed a DVD title a few days ago for a flick called "Jolly Roger" or something like that. Beyond belief. Kind of like a very bad Johnny Depp film. Or a film starring those broken down hack actors from the t.v. series "Cheers." Very low quality. Poor costumes. Total crapola. The flick was so badly done it could not even have been considered camp . . . Just a piece of garbage, in my humble opinion. And these idiots make money doing this for a living? Gimme a break!

The 3 remakes of War of the Worlds should have been enough of a clue. Two were so bad they went right to DVD. They still cost time and money to make.

This seemed to be the years of remakes.

Having that fat pig Michael Moore as a person who makes 'documentaries' and then mouthes off at the Academy Awards isn't helping.

I went to see Transporter 2, since I like the first one, and hoped with a bigger budget this one would be even better. But it stunk bad, it pretty much had the same plot just different setting.

I also went and saw Lord of War and that was bad as well. Why are so many movies today have political messages?

I noticed that everybody and I mean everybody on screen is just so damn good looking these days. And cute. And flapping thier eyelashes and pooching out thier lips. Like Ensign TOM CRUISE backsassing a Brigadier.
FACE IT. Good looking people don't have to try that hard so they get by on thier looks and that why movies are mediocre and not worth the ten or twelve bucks.

Glad they finally realize it. Serenity was the first movie I've seen in months. It also doesn't help that they bombard you with obnoxious commercials up to and a few minutes after the official starting time.

Bennett Miller, the director of the critically lauded "Capote," which opened Friday, suggested that Hollywood's habit of playing it safe makes more daring films look particularly good by comparison.

"The market creates conventionality and conformity, but that's not really what people want to see," he said.

They also don't want to see your movie about a homosexual dwarf.

re remakes
remember Pat Boones MO of doing covers of other artists popular songs??.....he whitified them for mass consumption
movie remakes kinda like that.
Like watching Pat Boone sing "tutti fruity"....in his little suit....snapping his fingers and going "awop bop aloo mop alop bam boom!"
remakes don't work.
