Make a decent movie and I’ll go see it.
Julie and Julia is a good one.
It’s not just making a decent movie anymore.
I do not care how good a movie is, I will not give a penny to see a movie with say Barbra Streisand or Ms. Garafalo or folks of their liberal ilk.
Screw em.
I’ve only seen one movie that I thought had “good movie” potential. It was D. Washington’s/Travolta’s “Taking of Pelham...” I usually am not impressed by remakes, but I like Washington and Travolta always makes a great “bad guy. I was not disappointed. Movie was edge of your seat entertaining. I enjoyed it. I even got the original version out of the library to compare. New version made some subtle changes that gave it freshness.
Other than that, I’ve not seen one title that interests me at all—let along enough to spend $8/head to see.
Also, Washington and Travolta (to my knowledge) have been smart and not gone “political”.
Make David Drake’s “Hammer’s Slammers” or “With the Lightnings” into a movie.
If they don’t screw up the story lines too badly, they’ll be rolling in cash. Both would have overseas appeal and a lot of potential for merchandising, too.
If they want comedy, they should combine some of Keith Laumer’s Retief stories in to a story arc, and make a movie of that. Dunno who you could cast as Jame Retief, though.
Cell phones, talking, ‘ youts ‘, idiots filming the movie, people throwing things. This types of crap happens all the time at the best movie theater in Boston. Its a disgrace.
“Make a decent movie and I’ll go see it.”
Amen.
