But... but... that one has Penélope Cruz in it, so it *must* be good!!Scarred4life wrote:Not for me, I am proud to say I've never seen anything other than the original.But yes, I understand what you're saying- part of the reason I'm a bit anxious for how the next Pirates of the Caribbean is because the last one ended so perfectly, and I don't want them to ruin the characters.
I've only seen one sequel and a dozen episodes of the tv show, but even though I hadn't (like I did with most Disney sequels), I think it takes away from the original. You know, I watched the almost 2 hour long 'Making of' on the Lilo & Stitch dvd, and it was so obvious that this was Chris Sanders' "baby"; that he and Dean DuBlois had put their heart and soul into it; and they made the movie exactly the way *they* wanted to make it... and it really shows in the sincerity of the film... and then to think they had to stand by and watch how Disney literally destroyed their characters and their universe for cheap quick money.
That's why I always advise young inspiring artists to never go work for Disney. I know some who are very good, who want to be in Disney comics (they're still made in The Netherlands and are very popular), but I always say: "don't do it". If you have such good drawing abilities and so much creativity, don't waste it on Disney, who will take all your rights away and leave you with a meager salary, while they get huge profits from reprinting your stories over and over without you ever seeing a penny of it. Create your own characters and comics and keep the rights to yourself.
