It's Friday!
Hollywood has no more original ideas. I just saw a trailer for A Good Year, a flick with Russell Crowe. Hmmm, that looks familiar...Oh yes, it's Under A Tuscan Sun but with a man! How original, did it take them all day to think that up?
And why do we have to have so many damn sequels? You remember Bruce Almighty? Yeah, Almighty 2 is in the works. Rambo 4 starts filming in October. Rocky Balboa will be released soon (what number would that be? Rocky 34?). Why is it every time a film does well the studios think, "We need to make 5 more of these!" Hostel did okay, let's make Hostel 2! Saw 3 will be out soon, and let's not forget another Batman movie, (Heath Ledger is far to young to play Joker, I can only assume this is a preview of how badly this movie will suck. They should have left it with Batman Begins). I'm so tired of sequels. Well, except for the Harry Potter movies, but those aren't really sequels.
Hollywood has gotten lazy. Instead of coming up with fresh ideas, they just rehash old ones. The only intriguing trailer I've seen lately is for Children of Men. This looks good. How long until they start filming Children of Men II?
From the "You Can't Make This Stuff Up" files: Bzzzz!
Carny folk, small hands. How, oh how, can a person not be charged with something when they make a mistake that causes harm and/or death to another person? A few weeks ago I read about a man who killed a woman at a McDonald's drive-through because he didn't see her when he took off. He killed her right on front of her husband and two children, yet there weren't any charges! How can this be? Can we make stupidity a crime?

Great post!! I am a huge movie fan but this summer I was very disappointed with the tripe released at the box office.
One great film to see, however, is V for Vendetta. AWESOME!!!!
