You Have Got To Be Kidding Me!!!!

The remake trend of old TV shows continues.

Welcome Back Kotter will now enjoy a second life as a feature movie. You can now measure TV shows by how many haven't been remade yet.

This is insane people. Where has all of the creativity gone to? Has it just vanished into thin air? Are there no more writers in Hollywood who have an original thought bouncing around anymore?

Want to know why theater receipts are down?

HERE IS THE REASON WHY!!!!

You can't expect to keep putting out junk and have people just blindly go to it week after week!!!!

First of all it is in a theater! Second you get bombarded by COMMERCIALS in the theater where you just rented a seat for two hours! You don't feel like seeing a commercial! You don't feel like dealing with the people around you that talk all through the movie! You have a better set up at home that you can pause, head to the bathroom, pop some popcorn for a fraction of the price, grab a Coke, and head back to your seat on a very comfortable couch before unpausing the movie!

Despite all of that I will still go to the theater and see a movie or two because I don't want to wait the six month DVD turn around time.

But I REFUSE to see a remake of a TV show!

First of all, I'VE PROBABLY SEEN IT ON TV FOR FREE!!!!

Second of all, it was ALREADY DONE ONCE AND FOR TV!!!!

Third it is a horrible trend that is encouraging absolute laziness and killing creativity!!!!

If it isn't a TV show being remade it is a classic movie! Where is it going to end? When theaters start closing because people won't go to them anymore?

Hollywood can be so clueless sometimes.

GO INDIE FILMMAKERS!!!!
GO DIRECT TO DVD MOVIES!!!!
