There you go - and you can see why. Because they are
never-ending. All they do is stick a bunch of options in a hat for what new stupid take on someone's career they can make and pick it out. The humor and jokes are
completely recycled from each of the other movies. If there's absolutely nothing new, fresh, interesting, or
good, there is absolutely no justification for making the movie. All they're doing with these movies now are changing the look of them and the supporting casts.
That's it! All they're doing are giving people who work in the movie business more jobs and making the idiot executives richer who only give films based on completely hackneyed, unoriginal
junk like this the greenlight.

EVERYONE has their own tastes, some people like the stupid comidies while others like a thriller or drama, Occupational Comedies are some of the oldest forms of movies. My mood helps me decide what kind of movie I want to see, sometimes I just need the stupid laugh after a tough day at work or I may want to see a drama or mystery if I want something to think about. I dont care what movie critics or anybody else think. I like to decide for myself if Ilike a film. I really despise people putting a film down that they have not seen. How would you know if it's good or not. If you have not seenit dont say how much you dislike it.
Dare I say it, memnv? I think you're getting
better at this whole thing? I expected you were going to give me the hardest time of all. I think you've actually managed to bring a fresh perspective in on this topic.
Of course you're oversimplifying the situation. This topic is about the fact that the only people being satisfied with mainstream comedies right now are idiots and rich Hollywood executives. If you don't consider yourself an idiot, I really would've thought you'd have sensed that you like the rest of American audiences are being seriously short-changed in the cinema and stood up for yourself, declaring that you deserve better movies.
Like I said - taste has nothing to do with this. Well, bad taste does. But
this isn't about personal taste. You're talking about whether or not the movie looks appealing based on advertising. I'm talking about the way these movies are being made. Because you don't need to be a brain surgeon to know these movies are all the same. They all star Will Ferrell for Christ's sake. The man has almost zero comedic talent anyway. That's one thing, apart from what the "writers" of these movies are doing. NOBODY'S TRYING TO MAKE MOVIES ANYMORE. They're all just copying what's been done already.
So, quit saying this is about my taste versus other people's. Open your eyes. If you don't notice the trend, perhaps you're not going to be any help whatsoever in this discussion. If all you're going to try and do is discredit me, than you just don't get it.
