so it being Tuesday yesterday, i watched a movie last night, and for last night`s viewing i decided to go with `Slumdog Millionaire`.
since i`ve seen the movie before, i was really able to concentrate on certain aspects of the film, and all i can say is, what a beautiful movie.
absolutely beautiful.
how can one not be moved by this movie?
thank G*d it won the Academy Award last year!
because when you watch that movie, it makes you realize that they make a lot of shit these days. i mean seriously, can we stop with the remakes of old TV shows, old movies, and especially of video games!!!
i mean yes, i was entertained by Iron Man, but Speed Racer???? i mean really. who thought they should make that movie and spend $100 million on it?
this is how the pitch would have gone if i were there...
"i want to make a movie of the seldom seen Speed Racer cartoon."
a long dead pause, with me looking the writer in absolute confusion.
"don`t ever talk to me again. get out of my office, out of LA, and out of California."
anyway...
i love thinking about all the movies that Hollywood thought were going to flop (Flashdance, Breakfast Club to name a few) and all of the movies that they thought would do great (Waterworld, Hulk...)
wow...
well, i`m sure there are some great projects out there, and i think we can thank Slumdog for kicking it up...
nice job.
