Washed Out HollyWood

Is it just me, or does it seem like Hollywood is just running out of ideas? There used to be a time, when I would eagerly await the next cenimatic phenomenon, but now, all there seems to be splashed on the silver screens, are tired actors/actresses, one dimensional characters, and lackluster plots. I've recently been made aware thare there is to be a sequel made of Congfu Panda, Night of the Museum, and a Dragon Ball Z movie; not to mention the much awaited Hanna Montana movie. Now tell me, should we honestly be paying 10 bucks to see such movies? Could not a straight to dvd suffice? But no, Hollywood seems to know that no matter what people will pay for the garbage they choose to generate on the big screens. I propose that perhaps, it is time for a new generation of screen writers.

Yes, Yes, and Double yes! They are SO running out of ideas; and of course, movies today aren't quite as original or exciting as movies from the 80's and maybe even early 90's - now all Hollywood cares about is ratings & having the most A-List celebrities appear in their movies. It's quite ridiculous. That's why sometimes it's better to watch indie films or something at least with a little more PURPOSE to it than just to make money (although sometimes these can be dumb too). I didn't know they were making a Night at the Museum 2. That's aggravating..lol, because I really loved that movie. By the way, welcome to myLot!
