I can't stomach the endless pre/se-quels and "re"-boots, shows a massive lack of creativity, originality, and yes just plain courage to tell stories that haven't been told. As usual in "merica" it all comes back to holy-dollar-full-of-grace. All about the damn money, makes me sick to my stomach. This country seems to honestly think it'll find the "meaning of life", and actual happiness in a ledger-book...

I agree with everything you said here, MSII. Hollywood has lost all creativity. They make the same movies over and over re: sequles. They don't have any original thought any more.

The movies on TV aren't fit to watch. I look for movies from the 50 thru 70's.

I agree. The movies from the 50's to 70's were good.

What amazes me is how good the Cowboy movies were compared to the dark movies today. They use some sorry lighting in some of the new movies.

That is so true, oldbanjo.

And when people "disappear" it will be just like in the movies and no one will pay attention.

I wouldn't be remotely surprised if people are already "disappearing". We were (and still are, no doubt) in bed with those kinds of governments all over the world, certainly wouldn't surprise if it's being done right here.

I'm a proud Progressive "Leftist", and I definitely have no great luv for Whoreywood.... I find the "movies" more disappointment then anything else these days, lack of creativity, lack of originality, the so-called "actors" these days... don't hold a candle to so many of those that came before. Mostly just flesh, pretty faces, and muscles (the men all seem to be mandatory muscle-bois these days, can't be a "star" as a male "actor" without having .01% body-fat and being buff, the women have the same body-fat requirements, and the obligatory boob-jobs).

I always wished they'd REALLY made The Lord of Light movie (which I believe is the movie they were using as a front if i remember about this correctly), it's a excellent classic sci/fi, but it's also one of those books that's believed to be impossible to turn into the typical Whoreywood 2-hour movie. There's far too much going on, too much background even just explaining the setting to the audience. I imagine HBO for instance could do it justice with a big-budget mini-series type of treatment, probably the only people these days who could.
