Normally, this would have been a semi-decent topic (at least comparitively to other General topics) but your "arugments" feel more like attempts at jokes than actual arguments.
Throughout my life I've had many people ask me questions such as "did you hear about that new Titanic movie?", or "so, what do ya think about that new movie, Harry Potter?" My responses to such questions are simple, I hate Hollywood, and I hate you. Here's why.
Hating a district of Los Angeles in which just as many, if not more, low-class latinos live than actual movie producers, actors, and directors is quite stupid. Hating the America film industry is a little more reasonable, but even then you're encompassing a lot of decent, small film studios.
Hollywood has always been considered the American dreamland, where wings take dream and fish peacefully coexist with human beings (Bush lol).
I don't recall hearing this term recently. If there is an American dreamland, I would imagine it would apply more to places that the average American would love to visit such as HAWAII or LAS VEGAS or DISNEYLAND (the happiest place on earth!) Also lol bush joke lol georige is such a ape
Don't get me wrong, SOME of these productions actually aren't that bad. Sadly, the ones that aren't bad are the ones that nobody goes to see. Who wants to see The Day after Tomorrow when The Cat in the Hat is playing two doors closer to the bathroom?
Your choice of examples does not help your case. People tend to go to the movies with at least a faint idea of what they want to see, and even if they do make up their minds at the theater, it's never about THE BATHROOM. If you're going to blame bad movie-going choices, blame it on group-conformity and heavy advertising. Something like the Cat in the Hat does well in theaters because it's geared towards young kids. Young kids who need PARENTS to go with them, and so for every one child interested in a cartoon-ish movie, you have at least another ticket-buyer if not two.
Here's another reason why Hollywood sucks. They make too much money. Hollywood rakes in enough cash daily to offset another Great Depression. I know this because I made it up myself. While I'm at it, Hollywood produces SO MUCH SHIT that they are officially worthy of getting on my bad side. Wait, that one was a fact.
HILARIOUS!!! If you're going to hate institutions that make lots of money, you might as well attack advertising companies, the RIAA, over-priced universities, professional sports teams, and Wal-mart. They all try to provide services or entertainment in one form or another and succeed and fail in different aspects.
I think they've crossed the line, I mean, they're to the point now where they can make the worst movie ever and still come out a billion dollars richer than they were when they made it.
This is totally untrue. The budget for making a movie these days is incredibly high. Lots of movies bust in the theatres and never compensate the budget even with DVD sales.
Why? Because people are stupid. They see the obviously over-dramatized commercials and trailers and decide they're going to hop in their cars and drive down to the good old movie theater, stopping into every corner store possible (including the theater concession stand) to fill their pockets with consumer crap, just to see it.
OK now you're making a little more sense.
Who in their right minds would make these movies in the first place? Fantastic Four? If you ask me that movie is filled with subconscious hidden messages telling viewers to roll in cosmic radiation and use their powers to terrorize the people of Iraq, who by the way, have never been so free as they are now since the invasion of American troops. Good job, boys!
If there's a market for it, someone will make it. As long as the average Joe is still entertained by I KNOW WHAT YOU DID ON CHRISTMAS VACATION, there will be people willing to write scripts for it and make money off of it. Also, excellent subtle hate-bush.
Hollywood sucks, and so does Fantastic Four. Boycott Hollywood.
Good luck with that. I'm sure the rest of America will quickly let go of their entertainment-addiction and run towards your cause.
Since this is a comedy piece, this would have probably done better in another forum (not Post 9/11, but another message board I mean) with another audience that finds bush jokes intertwined with feeble attempts at FUCKINDUSTRYGOPIRACY hilarious.
I think I will lock this unless we get some decent replies. I doubt it (it's hard to reply to a semi-serious original post).
