So, my fans (AKA immediate family) have been asking me, 'Why haven't you written a blog entry lately'? Maybe the world has achieved a level, and there's nothing more to write about? Or perhaps its just been outright laziness. My vote is the latter. So here I am trying to re-kindle the spark and to get back to writing meaningless posts read by a handful of people...and there was much rejoicing.
While we are on the topic of laziness and do-overs, let's talk about Hollywood's love of remakes. If I have to hear about another remake of the Wizard of Oz, Robin Hood, or Godzilla I'll go batty. Does the world really need to see another version of Annie? How many times do we have to see Peter Parker get bit by a Spider, or Superman landing on Earth? Whatever happened to coming up with a new story line?
However, as with any good rant, there are exceptions. The latest series of the Planet of the Apes movies are excellent, although technically these are prequels, so I'll give them a pass. At any rate, it would blissful to see a new and totally creative story line come out of Hollywood, rather the current flow of rehashed versions of the same ones.
And hopefully this spark will catch fire and I will return to quietly ranting to the few.
