Movie Ideas

So Lately I have been thinking about a lot of things.

And I have to ask, Why is it that Hollywood is incapable of anything original anymore? All the movies you see anymore are remakes sequels or prequels. But none of them are original.

I think that what needs to happen is that Hollywood needs to get rid of all the writers, actors and directors who have been there for so long. After all they have all had their chance to make it big, give someone else a chance. And that will also give a fresh perspective on how things could be done.

That’s what we need is for a new breed of entertainer.
Maybe we could also get cleaner movies. That would be a good thing! I am very disturbed about moves that are presented as being suitable for children! I mean Tim Burton, In my opinion, ought NOT to be making kid flicks and neither should Johnny Depp. These movies are to dark and disturbed for any children I know.

Same goes for Mike Myers… I mean I really feel the Cat in the Hat movie seemed to be a travesty of what Theodore Geisel wrote. And Shrek???? What The Heck???? Let’s teach the kids how to be totally gross and disgusting, like that isn’t already enough of a problem.

Oh back to the Tim Burton/ Johnny Depp combo… What was the point behind the Charlie and the Chocolate factory remake? I actually heard that they said it was closer to the book and Roald Dahl‘s writing.?! HUH?? How could it be closer to what Roald Dahl was intending when the original was supervised BY Roald Dahl himself? I mean I think if he was sitting on the set telling people how to do things then that is more likely to fit his idea then a movie made that has only an interpretation by someone else?

And what was that with Alice in wonderland?

Some people will say, “well kids today are more mature.” But I do not really think that is a good thing. We should let our kids BE kids. Let them have a childhood, let them enjoy the innocence that comes from such times. They will have to grow up soon enough.

You know I remember what it was like to be a kid and I know they will want to go see the “adult” movies (the 10 year old who wants to look all grown up so he wants to go to a P.G. 13 movie or such) But how about if we make the movies cleaner so a G rated movie is really good for kids (say 4 - 7 years old) then make movies like Shrek or the Alice in wonderland/ Wonka remakes into P.G. or even P.G. 13 movies then it might not be so bad when the 10 year old goes to see them.
