Bollywood

Hollywood films seem to be getting worse and worse by the day. Sequels, adaptations, or re-makes seem to be the primary focus right now instead of "good ideas" This is a short entry that looks at 3 movies which I don't believe, need to be made.

#1 The Simpson's Movie
Oh my god!, why?. To me the Simpson's have been dead for 10 years now. That's a decade for Christs sake!!!. Fox has kept this series alive for so so long because its a guaranteed cashcrop. The reason that it brings in money is due to the fact that most people are stupid enough to settle on watching TV that is sub par. If there is nothing else on they will settle on trying to find one funny joke in a half hour show. The Simpson's these days is no longer about clever writing or sharp satire's on pop culture and American history. I find that the focus this past decade has been banking everything on Homers stupidity and generating excitement about each show through putting a celebrity on each episode. Is the Simpson movie going to follow suit and have an all-star Hollywood cast?. I am so sick of Homer Simpson, they have turned him into a stupid, whine-e, boring, 1-dimensional little bitch. When I saw the teaser, call me ignorant, but I could tell from the bottom of my heart that this movie will absolutely suck from all stand points.

#2 Clerks 2

Oh man. In highschool I believed foolishly that Kevin Smith was a genius. I couldn't imagine anything funnier than his way of writing dialogue amongst his characters. Truth be told, "Clerks", "Mall Rats", "Chasing Amy", and "Dogma" are all classics. When I had first gotten into him Dogma was in the process of coming to video so I had never gone to the theatre to see one of his movies. As an advent fan, I was really excited to have the chance to see his new movie "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" I got tell you that I rarely walk out of movies but I really really wanted to with that one. It was a traumatic experience to see a film hero of mine do so much wrong and to find out that someone you idealized was never that good to begin with. "Jay and Silent Bob" wasn't even a movie, it was a practical joke for Kevin Smith. The whole movie revolved around cameos from characters that were in his previous movies.Their role was to make as many jokes about his work as they can. The Scene where Ben Affleck looks at the screen towards the audience and asks "who would be stupid enough to go see a movie about Jay and Silent Bob??" HAHAHAHAH that's so funny Kevin, but I have an idea, instead of making a film where you constantly poke fun at us for seeing your shitty movies, why don't you make an actual fucking movie?. "Jay and Silent Bob" was the first indication that Kevin Smith was going bad. The next was the "Clerks" cartoon where he took his classic indie, adult-oriented look at convenience store jockeys and turned it into a censored kids show, which by the way was cancelled after two episodes. Then Kevin came out with a DVD in which he tours like a musician and talks to universities about his life and films. The DVD was good as Kevin is very personable, witty, and talented when it comes to public speaking. But it still showed that Kevin was more interested in marketing himself rather than creating good movies. Maybe marketing himself is all that he is truly good at. In the Kevin Smith DVD he stated that Jay and Silent Bob would never be back in film, that the characters were dead. Our dear friend Kevin went on to write the Superman movie, but due to disagreements with the producers and studio, he left the project. Kevin wanted to satisfy his comic-book tendencies and began to work on a "Green Hornet" movie where there were talks of getting "Jet Li" to play as Kato. Upon Kill Bill being released Kevin realized that he couldn't film action. So he went back to the drawing board and here we are with Clerks 2. The next time that Kevin branches out and decides to do something different, I guarantee that we will see "Mallrats 2".

#3 Basic Instinct 2
Okay the first one was an edutaining sexual journey for us 11 year olds, but Mrs. Stone is like over 50 for gods sake!. She looks good for her age but still. I don't think this was a movie that needed to be made. In a couple of years, when Basic Instinct 7 comes out I really hope it stars "Beatrice Arthur".
