Movies today are awful. Why do I want to see young people murdered gruesomely? We used to have critics like Roger Ebert, before he went insane, standing up to sadism in movies, now he enjoys it…anything to be relevant, right? I bet he's drooling at the thought of "Sin CIty 2".
Torture films, gross out "comedies", and bad remakes. I remember the remake of "3:10 to Yuma" was cynically changed to have the good guy die and lose everything, as opposed to the original. Did we need a remake of True Grit? With Jeff Bridges mumbling the dialog–and that's considered great acting? The Coen Brothers can do no wrong, despite what garbage, like "No Country for Old Men" spews forth. Seriously, why do I want to see a movie about a vicious murderer who gets away with it?
Or "comedies" with young women farting, or a script that is focused on bodily emissions? "The Hangover" had a few light laughs, but that's a major hit? Have we really sunk that low?
Hollywood doesn't get it. I don't want to see women farting, getting a drill through their head, people ripped apart, comedies that look like 2 hour improv sessions. I have had enough of that fathead Jonah Hill. Adam Sandler was NEVER funny, and he's not funny dressed as a woman. If you make a "Green Hornet" movie, you don't make it a comedy "thriller" and you don't have Seth Rogen in it. As a matter of fact, we don't need Seth Rogen anymore period. Justin Timberlake needs to go away, as does Cameron Diaz, Mark Wahlberg, Jack Black, Will Smith, Ben Stiller and Tom Cruise. I have had enough rampaging murderer movies where the sadistic killer gets away at the end, because, well, there might be a sequel in it! I don't need women empowerment movies. I don't need anti-military, anti-Conservative, let's laugh at the Christians messages.
There, I feel better.
