I see the future. And it is shit.

Rofl!

a-fucking-men. they can shove their remake of the crow right up their fucking bumpipe. same place as the sequels to the crow for that matter original is best. yes…we likes it…we does 🙂

I saw that or a similar list the other week and I was thinking the same thing.

Easy money. That’s all I have to say.

How depressing. Guess I won’t be visiting the cinema for a while. Ah well.

ryn: hahaha yeah i thought so too!

I should’ve stopped reading after “The Birds”… seeing Pirates on there made my anger reach new heights. HANGOVER 3?! -.- I must admit I’ll definitley be seeing Kill Bill 3, though.

ryn: It’s for a fashion event a few months from now. There are a handful of prizes for a few that make it past the prelims, but otherwise we just get exposure. There’s not a lot of modeling opportunity in the south so everyone just takes what they can get.

Fucking exactly!

I KNOOOOOOW dude. LIAR LIAR PANTS ON MOTHER FUCKING FIRE! lol 🙂 you know we are sisters in our hate of that bitch.

The Avengers isn’t a remake.

The only movie on that list that I’m excited to see is “The Dark Knight Rises.” Christopher Nolan wrote those movies as a trilogy with the express point of there being three of them. No more, no less. So while its another movie, that is part of the intended story arc, not just an add-on attempt to cash in on success. Otherwise, yes. Hollywood seems to have lost its concept of originality.~rory PS – For a good movie, you should see Drive. Ah-mazing. Makes me believe that not everyone in the film industry is completely lost it.

I was very upset to see no My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic movie on that list 🙁

It seems like nobody in Hollywood has original ideas anymore.

(Saw you on RC) This is why Indie Films are having so much success. Nobody wants to see a regurgitated piece of crap or a sequel where the first movie was good but every one after has sucked. I’ve been disinterested in movies for a long time because it’s all just rubbish. As for the games being made into movies… seriously how unoriginal is that? I don’t want to even play the games and they thinkI want to fork out cash to see them especially when they’re typically filled with a bunch of no-talent ass-monkeys. No thanks, I’ll stick to reading books.

they are going to ruin my childhood with a remake of the Never Ending Story. They should NOT do it. Just make a new movie LIKE IT, don’t soil the memory of my youth. I just saw the remake of Clash of the Titans and wanted to kill myself. They all need to die.

random- wow your right! The Birds, The Never Ending Story, Carrie (which already had an awful made for tv remake)…really. No need for a remake. just silly. They will all be crap im sure! thanks for sharing though!

I was in love with the first three pirates movies. When they made another one I knew it was for more money…now I’m just irritated and sad.

It really is the end of the world. 🙁 Mediocre limbo from here on out.

you qq about wanting a good story, but blow off gears of war and castlevania which tells me you thought the notebook was a good movie.

I agree with most of what you said. Personally, I don’t mind some remakes. Actually the “superhero” movies I’m grateful are being remade because they were shit before that slaughtered the comics. To be honest, most those movie were “good” because they were bad. That was there appeal to people. Total Recall for example, to this day makes me laugh with the one liners “Hey Benny, Screw YOU” as he kills the dude with a huge drill…. But I’m not shocked he didn’t win an Oscar. I know that really makes people love these movies for what it is. But if you really look at the movie, it’s not a priceless gem. Most people who create movies have a vision of what they wanted it to be, and only had the resources of the time. Or, were controlled by the production company’s to change their idea’s (sometimes for the better). Or they just sell it and like someone said before, easy money. Those people who are not holding on to nostalgia, or the younger generation will go see those movie. That’s just mindless entertainment for them. ::shrugs:: Captain America came out months ago in the US, and was a success. 😀 I’m looking forward to The Avengers.

I can’t remember the last time I walked into a movie theater really excited about what I was about to watch. And even with low expectations I usually walk out disappointed.

See Hesher, it’s an awesome movie.

“you qq about wanting a good story, but blow off gears of war and castlevania which tells me you thought the notebook was a good movie.” Something original, is the point.

Sequels also have a major impact on boosting sales for the original too, thanks to all the hype that gets kicked up. So there’s that. Tragic thing about films is that although they are an art form, most people don’t even like art, and will still pay to see something that suits them. It’s their garbage we’re drowning in. There’s no money in quality.

You are 100% right! Where is the creativity and imagination of this generation?

There’s nothing I would want to see in theater – except for Iron Man 3. Mmm, that Robert Downey Jr is dreamy for an old fart

The Avengers isn’t a remake. It’s based on the Marvel Comic, not the 60s TV show. If that were the case it would be doubly-bad since they already did a movie remake of that show. I guess it could arguably be considered a sequel to Iron Man 1 and 2, Captain America, Thor and Incredible Hulk, though. Also, uh, Fantastic Four 2 came out a few years ago. Anyway, I don’t think originality and good storytelling are necessarily exclusive from operating within an existing story universe (originality maybe, but how many so-called “original” movies actually are?), but the sad trend does seem to be that they aren’t. Loud, flashy effects and moronic acting seem to sell the most. Star Trek 2009 was a huge let down for me because it betrayed so much of what made the franchise good in the first place. Cinema as it currently exists may die, but these trends won’t be going away, the delivery format will simply change.

I’m waiting for Dark Knight Rises.

…I grew up playing with Castlevania on Nintendo, man.

Actually Capt. America has already been out for awhile.. Hollywood has been lacking original ideas since the stone age. 50 or 100 movies have to be made before one decent one can get produced.

All those notes and not one single one about how many Bond films ther are.

Yes, the industry is dying, and Hollywood is why. New ideas are dangerous, don’cha know, and asking a bunch of clones to be innovative is simply not done. I started watching old, old movies a few years ago. Ones from the ’30’s and ’40’s. I’m surprised at how fresh THEY appear, and at the risks they took. I only find one movie in fifty made today thats worth watching, and even that oneis always a bit derivative…

If my diary was public and I wanted to stir up a big controversy, apparently I just have to make an entry about movies. Damn. I agree with the vast majority of your list…and I actually agree with basically everything else you said. I’m just a huge comic book nerd at heart and love all things comic related. But lacking originality…definitely. Maybe everyone has just run out of ideas.
