To Hell With Hollywood

What the Hell has happened to creativity in Hollywood? The majority of movies being made and released today are either sequels or remakes. Take, for instance, Steve Martin's newest effort The Pink Panther. I've seen the original with Peter Sellers numerous times and laughed myself silly each thime. It's truly a classic. Just seeing the trailers of the Steve Martin version makes me think this remake is just bad. Let me rephrase; not bad but awful. A stupendous stinkeroo. It's like The Jerk with a fake French accent.

And who the Hell told Adam Sandler and Rob Schnieder they were funny? Happy Gilmore? Duece Bigalow? The Water Boy? The Aanimal? These were some God-awful movies. Not. Funny. At. All.

Hollywood wonders why their box office numbers are dropping? Shitty movies are the Number One answer. Why pay $8.00 to see a shitty movie when you can wait a few months and see it for a lot less on DVD or HBO? That's assuming you even want to see it in the first place.

Then you have movies like Fudgepack Mountain or Good Night and Good Luck which try to tell a story with the director's particular political view that is in no way faithful to historical accuracy. The king of this crap is Oliver Stone. His JFK was a moonbat's Nirvana what with all the conspiracy crap he was insinuating.

Face it. There's not a single movie coming out of Hollywood today that's worth the price of a ticket to see when it hits the theater. Unfortunately, the real losers in all of this are the theater owners. Their best bet would be to start producing their own movies that people want to see.
