Tau....hey...bottom line too, it's all about marketing....same reason why you have Confessions of a Video Vixen as opposed to A Video Vixen's Dreamworld.
Which do you think the audience would buy?
If there are enough consumers out there who are buying into the crap that is made, it will continue to be made ( I think I said it before).
It doesn't necessarily have to be smart or intelligent.
Any media made has to be marketed to a targeted audience and as long as a goal is met that shows that it is working, it's going to continuously be made.
For instance, historic epics....anyone remember Gladiator?
One of my admitted favorite movies...won best picture...kind of alluding to the politics again...but how historically inaccurate was it?
It sometimes makes you wonder what standards are set when the powers that be in Hollywood make when they measure a movie. IMO...I understand they are basing part of the award on the quality...but to me, I would have thought that a part of the quality of a film like this is also in its accuracy....but hey...the Titanic and A Beautiful Mind won too right? LOL.
I believe what has happened is that Hollywood is running short on greenlighting good ideas and mkaing them nto movies...I used to say that we have run out of ideas, but I don't think that at all. Holly wood has just gotten lazy. Hollywood, instead of putting out more cutting edge movies has turned to doing the following:
1. Remaking 'classic' horror franchises (Halloween and now Friday the 13th)
2. Butchering comics and children's books (Spiderman, XMen and Golden Compass)
3. Chruning out way too many sequels for franchises that has long since left the limelight (Star Trek and A vs P anyone?)
