O-ri-gi-na-li...ty?

So, I was checking out this article, and I noticed a poll on the side. Take a look:

Notice anything? I'll give you a few more seconds............okay, ready?

IT'S NOTHING BUT REMAKES AND SEQUELS!!!

Come on, Hollywood. What happened? Did you spend so much time bashing President Bush that you forgot to brainstorm? This is ridiculous. I know that there will be more movies besides these, but still...there shouldn't be this many cop-out films in one year. It's just wrong.

The entertainment industry needs me. Seriously. If only I was taking a decent TRF class this semester, I could start practicing now...but that would be too easy, wouldn't it? F**kin' liberal arts/business requirements. Bah.

The same thing is going on in TV and the music industry. I guess all the good ideas were taken in the 20th century.

And none of the good actors exist anymore either. There are no Cary Grants, Jimmy Stewarts, Bogarts, Bacalls.. etc. out there.

My theory is that CGI and other expensive special effects are making actors and directors lazy.

Don't forget House of Wax. Another remake but ths time with Paris Hilton. And the funny thing is, it's NOT her biography. ~badum bum~ These are the jokes, people.

I'm still hoping for a live-action Gigantor.
