Hollywood

*Hey folks I'm taking the weekend off enjoy the musings of guest blogger Dug.
Has everyone in Hollywood lost their mind? Or does every consumer like to waste money on crap? Lately every single movie you see coming out is either a remake that should have never been made, or just a crappy looking movie. Unfortunately I have also contributed to this crap, but that won't happen anymore. A year ago I wasted $7.50 to go watch Harold and Kumar go to White Castle…this movie wasn’t all that bad but it sure wasn’t worth $7.50 to see. I should have known it was going to be a waste of money when the 16 year ticket boy asked for my ID to get in the movie.
But let’s take a look at some of this crap I speak about. First you have Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Sure it has Johnny Deep and yeah he is a talented actor, but does anyone really want to watch this? First I can’t stand seeing Johnny Deep in the previews it makes me sick. Second they showed some of the umpa lumpas and what the hell was that, those are not umpa lumpas. Before you could call someone an umpa lumpa and everyone would get it, now it means nothing. This movie at best is a rent.
Another remake that looks terrible is The Bad News Bears. This movie really should have been left on the shelf. The original Bad News Bears was great, once they went to Tokyo and Russia a remake shouldn’t have even been thought of. I am interested to see who they have to play Kelly (the Marlboro smoking dirt bike riding punk with the greasy hair) that kid was a perfect dirt ball. I will catch this one on Sunday night in 4 years.
You know Hollywood completely lost their mind when they made Bewitched into a movie. Did anyone really watch the TV show when it was on…or even now? This looks like the biggest piece of crap out right now. I am a fan of Will Ferrell but there is no way I am going to see this ever. One good thing about this movie is that it proves my point that Nicole Kidman is completely over-rated.
Since I mentioned Bewitched I guess I have to address the Dukes of Hazard. Embarrassing as it sounds, I will probably rent this one. Any movie with Johnny Knoxville, Stiffler and Jessica Simpson has to be good.
I can’t wait until next summer when I get to see previews for the new C.H.I.P.S. remake where A.C. Slater is going to play Ponch. And the Happy Days movie where we will all enjoy seeing Ben Afflect play Fonzi while Owen Wilson plays Ralph Mouth. I hope they still let Mr. Miyagi play Arnold like he did 30 years ago…..
