They Must Be Stopped!

If anyone was wondering what the hell is wrong with Hollywood, I have one thing to point out:  "Meet The Spartans" was the top grossing film over the weekend.  Are you @#$%^&-ing kidding me!?!? It beat out Rambo: see Needless/shameless remakes and/or sequals to  revitalize a career or make a quick buck--to be posted at a later date.  Back to topic:  So they ("www.imdb.com/name/nm0294997/"  and "/nm0783536/") wrote terrible scripts for the Scary Movie franchise (okay, maybe the first one was okay, a stretch) then proceeded to rape Hollywood for ridiculous amounts of money by being paid for their 'work' on Date Movie, Epic Movie and now this tragedy! Have any of you had the unfortunate experience of seeing any of these films?  And I thought Scary Movie 3 was bad until I saw Date Movie.  I said to myself, looks interesting, and Alyson Hannigan is in it, she's cute, maybe it'll be funny.  I could not have been more wrong and my eyes hurt to this day and my soul is a bit less shiny because of that horror of a waste of my time.  And I heard Epic Movie was just as bad.  In no way could anyone have paid me to see that one.  Now they have another one?!?!  Who's to blame!  I want to know, I want to go and shake down that executive that keeps stealing our souls and dumbing down society with the production of these so called films.  It also angers me because I am trying to make it as a writer and these guys are "writers"?  Yeah, right.  They are hacks and must be stopped. It has been a long time since the genius of movies like Airplane! and The Naked Gun.  Those movies were silly, of course, but it came from real comedy not from inserting a cheap Britney Spears joke into the middle of a 300 spoof.  I only know that because I saw the trailer and cringed and died inside a little.  Mel Brooks is turning over in his grave somewhere.  Not that he's dead, but maybe he wishes he were.  He made some of the best movies of this or any other genre.  I defy you to name a better movie (of this genre) than Young Frankenstein.  It can't be done.  That movie is brilliant!  It's a sad day when the kids of America grow up thinking stuff like Date Movie and Epic Movie are funny.  And it'll be an even sadder day for Hollywood if these jerks get another movie deal. But they will because those soulless executives don't care about anything but making a few bucks and sadly these movies make a few bucks.  I hate Hollywood.

What Mr. Lynch will soon realize (like the rest of us) is the only way to experience "Meet the Spartans" is on an iPhone! Get F*ckin' real!
