Whose running Hollywood these days? A bunch of contestants from the latest season of the Apprentice? Sure seems that way with these second rate ideas that they keep churning out. No wonder box office receipts are steadily on the decline from last year. Nobody wants to watch this crap.
It sure seems like every movie that comes out is based off of something else. It's either a remake like Alfie, an adaptation of a famous book like the Lord of the Rings, or the big screen verseion of a popular tv show like Starsky & Hutch.
There's no creativity, no originality anymore. And when there is like say with American Pie you can be damn sure that they'll be two or three sequels.
Why doesn't Hollywood take a step back and look at the bigger picture for once? Why don't they stop churning out the same crap over and over again, sometimes at the same time, like with Armageddon and Deep Impact coming out simultaenously, and make some quality films for once.
Anybody can pick a historical event with a big battle scene in it, package it up real nice, put Orlando Bloom in it, and release it over the summer. But can they also find engaging story lines and characters that really speak to people? Situations and outcomes that people can relate to? Probably not. Not on their own at least.
That's why in an effort to save Hollywood from itself I'm setting out to come up with the next generation of cult classic movie hits.
Now if you'll excuse me, it's brainstorming time.
