Nothing Has Changed

Ok, let's talk film. Well it's been a little while. Things have happened for the better. Like a Disney film, I am a better person at the end in light of all that has happened. I would tell you about it, but why, when you can wait for the movie that will be changed into a much more interesting bio pic by hack writers like Kurtzman and Orci and industry execs who malignantly obscure any shred of original story that first inspired the writer. Well in my absence it is nice to know that Hollywood hasn't changed at all. I have been in the loop as usual and see the insanity that is making Hollywood it's cornerstone for the talentless and bottom feeder population of California.

James Cameron is in the news today telling Tim Burton's producer, Richard Zanuck, that he is essentially full of it when speaking about Zanuck's analysis of 3D filming. Zanuck thinks that shooting in 2D and later transferring to 3D is the cheaper and best way to go about making 3D film. As we all know Cameron is busy chugging along hoping to give us an unparalleled 3D experience with his new film, Avatar, set to be released next Christmas. Cameron is shooting with expensive 3D cameras and the cost of such resources has some execs worried.

This is classic Hollywood exec thinking. Zanuck opens up the exec playbook and reads from the first page. "Do whatever is fastest and easiest". Zanuck says that he cannot tell the difference between transferred 3D film from 2D and 3D film shot with a 3D camera. Well, I happen to know people who can't tell the difference between Blu ray and regular DVD. Maybe Zanuck is one of these people. I am sure there is a HUGE difference between transferred and non transferred 3D film, but back in the 20's, Studio Execs, didn't know much difference between talking film and silent. These are just who these people are. Execs and bean counters with no real talent whatsoever. Of course Zanuck doesn't see a difference, he doesn't want to. many people who don't see a difference between Blu ray and regular DVD simply don't see it because they don't want to see it. I urge to read the article. Zanuck even sounds like he is riding the coat tails of Burton like a dolphin trainer. Read and laugh.

Well in another article Cameron urges filmmakers to provide interesting content in reverence before the 3D gimmick. Will filmmakers listen? Of course not. They won't listen not because they can't hear, the won't listen because they don't know how. I think Cameron knows that. I think he knows that most filmmakers, writers, and especially producers make bad film because they don't know how to make good film.

Most of Hollywood just remakes good film and turns it into bad film. I mean, yes that's all they know how to do. Look at all the Horror franchises. Texas Chainsaw, Hills have Eyes..etc, These people in Hollywood are dangerously out of ideas. I mean the well has run dry and they abhor any new talent because new talent would threaten their jobs and their livelihood. So here we are, millions of eager film goers who are suck watching rehashed ideas and flat out crappy film to only facilitate talentless people who refuse to get out of the sandbox and make room for the ones with talent who actually belong there. Is it good that execs haven't changed in 100 years? Until later, let's talk film.
