exorcise this
|
We just got back from Exorcist: The Begininng. And, you may know this, but I'll remind you: Hollywood is out of ideas, ppl. Just when I was getting into this movie, they had to ruin it by trying to be like the first one.
What the hell is happening to movies? Every genre is tapped out. Horror, sci-fi, fantasy, comedy... the list goes on. "Let's reach back to something that was a huge financial success, and see if we can't squeeeeeeezzzee more dollars out of it." Just look at what's playing:
Open Water = Blair Witch + Jaws
AVP = a sci-fi Freddy vs. Jason
Hero = a more luscious Crouching Tiger
Wicker Park = Single White Female + Swimfan
The Cookout = Barbershop (with a grill)
Anacondas = Lord, help us
The Princess Diaries 2?! = I think I'm gonna puke on myself
Hollywood knows your gonna pay money to see something over the weekend, the studios just hope you pick their crap over someone else's poor excuse for a film. It's sick.
Show me different dimensions. Show me colors I've never seen. Show me ppl experiencing something I've never heard of. Show me emptiness. Show me the mass wave of saddness that's drowning America, because everyone is too afraid to express how they really feel. Show me life on other planets. Show me the truth behind ultimate power. Show me the shape of a soul. Show me a million naked women floating in the air. Show me a vehicle I never thought of. Show me The Boy who Could Fly... oh, wait, I saw that one. Why was that so good, anyway?
Show me something I haven't seen before.
I'm waiting. Let's go, chop-chop.
(fingers hovering)
I have this great idea for a movie.
