Star Wars, Star Trek, Ghostbusters, Terminator, Alien, Predator, Transformers, Charlie’s Angles and (soon to be) James Bond.

This is what hollywood does Lance. They are creatively bankrupt and have zero desire to fix this. Their afraid to take chances, to support new IPs. So they remake, reboot and reimagine old franchises over and over, till the concept of a once beloved franchise is stale and dirty. It doesn’t help either that bad writers are being given more spotlight than good ones.

I understand Lance, think how I feel. I was born in the 80s. I witnessed the birth of most of these franchises. Now all I’m doing is watching them die.

Go see Joker. It is a depressing movie, but it’s writing, cinematography, directing, music and acting (by Joaquin fucking Phoenix) is superb. It was a movie that moved me and made me think. Which is rare anymore. It wasn’t a dumb action flick or over the top superhero extravaganza. It was a slow, character study of a man pushed to madness and violence. No wonder it’s making so much money.
