WHO IS NOT INTERESTED? Who are those dead-inside people?
I'm dead inside. I don't think Michael Rosenbaum is very attractive, or a very good actor.
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Alan Moore sums up everything that’s wrong with the entertainment industry
There's been a growing dissatisfaction and distrust with the conventional publishing industry, in that you tend to have a lot of formerly reputable imprints now owned by big conglomerates. As a result, there's a growing number of professional writers now going to small presses, self-publishing, or trying other kinds of [distribution] strategies. The same is true of music and cinema. It seems that every movie is a remake of something that was better when it was first released in a foreign language, as a 1960s TV show, or even as a comic book. Now you've got theme park rides as the source material of movies. The only things left are breakfast cereal mascots. In our lifetime, we will see Johnny Depp playing Captain Crunch.
You know, I'd totally go see a movie of Johnny Depp playing Captain Crunch....

Would you go see Bob Hoskins play one of the Super Mario brothers?
Possibly?
For the Crunch movie, they could get James Marsters or John Barrowman as part of Crunch's crew.
"Crunchitize me, Cap'n!"
John Barrowman as part of Crunch's crew.
I would see that movie on opening night.
So many remakes! That never happened before, and nothing good can ever come of it. No one ever made a movie or TV show or song off a spuriously slight initial concept and just ran with some shit and ended up with anything entertaining--before it used to be hours and hours of research and collation and correlation before an idea was even raised.
I hate newfangled everything. Everything sucks.
I saw that Lionsgate (I think) is remaking Rebecca. THERE IS NO NEED FOR THIS. I don't get it.
I KNOW! I totally want to grab Hollywood by its lapels and shout, "Have an idea!"
I see at least one Hollywood movie in the theatre a month. Call me a slut without discretion, but I enjoy at least half of those, and I know that there are movies I don't see in the cinema that were worth watching too.
Let's not talk about the amount of TV I enjoy. Or that Shakespeare used other people's ideas. Flat out: the amount of fiction I find to consume and enjoy is not insufficient in any way in 2012. So I don't care.
If someone makes a really good Rebecca movie, then great! I hope plenty of people enjoy and appreciate both making and watching it.
I guess I'm a husk like Sean. rosenbaum doesn't hit my buttons.
