A huge part of movies nowadays is just a reboot of an '80s movie!
Is that for nostalgia's sake only?
I'm afraid it isn't my dear people. Unfortunately we are both lazy for profit and out of ideas. Plus we have no other option.
OK so lets how its being done in the movies.
There is a need to make a reboot of all the good cult movies of the past?
Are you insane? Besides rebootιng them, you are not even paying any attention to the details. Nothing that made these movies special is in the reboots. Studios just want to make fucking money! That is all they need in this fucking world.
Of course there is no such need as "producing a good film" or a fine reboot even.
No reason for that. All the producers and creators around the world stopped giving even a simple unit of fuck about us and what we like, a long time ago.
The problem about the movies is that, a risky mistake could make the studio go bankrupt if they don't sell good due to the very high production costs for an "action" movie.
So they choose to go on the easy path. Fuck new screenwriters. Fuck an original story. No no no my friends. We don't need anything original at all. Just fill us with shit again and again and dance on our raped (by your shit) body forever.
Yeah baby. Shake it.
That is our generation problem. We stand here without doing anything. And I am not talking about a revolution. I mean simple stuff. Just don't go and watch a shitty movie.
OK. Now be prepared. I will drop the bomb.
I DID NOT LIKED THE AVENGERS!
NEITHER ANY OTHER NEW MARVEL MOVIE!
You know what? It wasn't a terrible film but I WANTED WAY MORE! That movie was a pile of cliche shit with perhaps some nice actors.
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE STORY?
WHERE THE FUCK IS IT? TELL ME!
No it wasn't epic! It was mediocre to say the least! Fight scenes were shit! Everything were shit. OK I know. Robert Downie JR and bla bla bla. I don't care. It doesn't matter if an actor is great.
That is not what the Avengers should have been. Its should have been a movie that would have rocked your world. And it was nothing.
You know why they do that? Because you are going to see it anyway. Because your standards are so low that you are just happy that they even decided to release it.
I dont think I am the only one who has set a standard for aesthetics. I don't think so.
Everyone had higher expectations at some point. The bar is low people. And it began with our favorite stuff. They rape our beloved movies and characters.
It is us and only us who allow them to do it. We allow to the studios and pretty much anyone, to give us mediocracy while farting on our face.
I do not want to accept that this is how we are going to end up. There are so many amazing artists out there just waiting for a chance to show us something beautiful.
We need to support that. I am not saying we should not give our precious money to the studios. I'm just saying we need to be careful.
Plus if you whine a lot on the internet there is a chance you might be heard if more and people agree with that. It worked for Xbox One.
What is great about the internet is that we are a bottom up community making our decisions fast and easy and thus generating original and good content.
Let us fight for what we love for fucks sake. I really do not wanna see another and another movie being rebooted like that.
We need to take advantage of one thing. Our brain. Perhaps we should not have as the only criterion in life to make money. Perhaps in order to receive top money you need to provide top quality.
For that reason first you need to aim for top quality.
