hahahaha
original he says.
that would mean that tehy write, produce and film something that they do not know about. it hasn't been categorized and analyzed. like, scream 4, they knew almost how many tickets they would sell, and how many dvd's. to them, this is good entertainment. something they can depend on. sci fi movies, since movies have started, have never been big hits. the ticket sales were always dismal. Pandora was a box office flop. rightfully so, as the movie sucked goat balls. it was a copy, a rather sad remake of a french film that was barely a year old called Eden Log. its dubbed in english, its also subbed. i cant distinctly remember another film like it. oh, both subbed n dubbed are edited together different, the endings are different also.
tehre was boondock saints. a diamond in the rough. the industry took a chance. the guy that wrote/directed it pissed em off, so they refused anything from him again. they tried to make a second, with catastrophic results.
but then again, the industry makes good calls also. there was a second script for beetlejuice written, beetlejuice goes to hawaii, but it was never filmed :)
you cant exactly fault them for sticking to what they know works. but you can for making gobs of money, and not trying to do what the companies are for, entertainment.
thats what i have been looking for.
there was a movie a while backed called the Killing Room. i think that was original, tho it was most likely a remake from a 60's movie that i did not see.
to keep this on topic, yes, the price of EVERYTHING is just outrageous. the cost of the food alone should be enough to fund a few movies. but looking at the movie goers, not on a whole, but a very large percentage, are teen to earlie 20's. they are the ones that spend the money. as you get older, you tend to think of the 20 dollars vs renting a movie. so the movies will be aimed to them. if its a remake, its been a priven something that works. and they have not seen it before. i just saw The Mechanic, with jason stathem. it was 'ok'. his movies are always good popcorn movies. tho t he professional was the same thing, and 1000 before that. but the ones that went to see it haven't seen all those others. the people complaining about such things, like myself, don't account for much of the ticket sales.
so teens/earlie 20 drive ticket sales
noone ever wants a flop
sci fi doesnt do too well. would you take your 11th grade date to see 'alien poofters invade earth' or something like, never been kissed, or something about mary?
most movies are simply remakes of older ones.
what i would like would to have the movies give credit to the one they are remaking. that clint eastwood movie, for a few dollars, and the counterpart, for a few dollars more. then comes along the industry and makes last man standing. not 1 lil mention of those 2, or the japanese play they all derived from. it was put out there as if it were original. just 1 example of what i mean.
the Jews that own this industry say that their people invented comedy. i will not argue with that, i just want them to prove it :) show me something funny and new. or...something interesting, not the same story with diff faces. i have probably seen 15 movies this week. there was only 1 that i could not clearly see one before that.. that was the imax film about hubble. i wouldn't recommend that. not enough space picture stuff. too much about the guys floating around and talking about toilets and stuck bolts. the only way to get them to produce anything without a algorithm would be have everyone in the nation stop going to see the movies, renting movies, or even subscribing to hbo. for a long while. i think it would take 3 of the big 4 to collapse before any of them understand.
origonality is not the right thing for them. same with the music industry. alot of books are just repeats of the same thing. and games? there was donkey kong, and now everythings a copy of it. street fighter, now everythings a copy of that. wolfenstein is copied like crazy, it seems to be all there is anymore. even rpg is fps style. they have found something that not only sells, but something they can count on. add a bad word or 2 and youll sell another million copies. and with things like steam and origon, kids don't need parents permission anymore. does it matter, its not origonal anyway, u played the same game when you were there age, jsut was an atari 2600...missile command, combat, yars revenge, tron. there was an origonal game once, i liekd ascendancy, the company is not out of biz, that was its only game (that i could find). but it was origonal. sid myers copied it.
original to them means failure
