On second thought and to be fair, though... ironclad Send a noteboard - 04/11/2009 12:42:43 PM
I came across this article in the Guardian, and I thought others might want to read it. It is a semi-rant on Hollywood going safe by making any number of identical movies.


I should point out that it's not just Hollywood. They are just the main offender here.

TV networks do the same thing, which is why there are so many teen-dramas, talent-shows and cop dramas. Woohoo!


It's not Hollywood, it's the viewers who are dumb. Once they stop watching and paying for Teenage Musicals and Saw films, they won't get made anymore. As long as people want them, Hollywood would be stupid not to provide.
There are still plenty of new, exciting and original releases each year.

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

I am so sick of procedurals, medical dramas/comedies, and lawyer shows. Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 06/11/2009 03:46:29 AM 625 Views
Everything is derivative. Some just do it with more style. Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 06/11/2009 03:43:23 AM 624 Views

I apologize for exposing Wotmania to the dancing banana. And by apologize, I mean laugh loudly. *NM* Arok Manok's Astral Projection - 06/11/2009 03:40:08 AM 287 Views
