why does every movie out right now look like crap?

[oberliner]

Miami Vice, Little Man, Lady in the Water, Clerks II, John Tucker Must Die, My Super Ex-Girlfried, Me, You, and Dupree, and on and on and on.

1. I'm waiting on The Descent, myself.

Preview sucks, but it was directed by the guy who made "Dog Soldiers" and it's gotten a lot of rave reviews on IMDB. I think I'll go catch a matinee show when it comes out this Friday.

6. hell, I finally saw the Avengers tonight

and Uma Thurman & Ralph Finnes ought to be ashamed of themselves...and Diana Rigg ought to sue them both. What a horrible movie.

7. What do you mean, "look like crap?"

You haven't seen all of them.

Why do you hate Hollywood?

8. Because they are devised by producers based on marketing research

and cynically laced wiith special effects and crude jokes in order to appeal to early teens.

The alternative would be to hire talented writers and directors and turn them loose to make films for intelligent people, as was done a lot in the late 1960s and 1970s.
