For individuals like Vin Diesel, Ben Affleck, Paul Walker, Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage, Angelina Jolie, and the rest of the ridiculous VIP list who claim to be “actors”, my question is this: Are these people serious? Are they joking when they appear in public and wave to audiences while blaring their corny smiles and arrogant walks in their designer uniforms? (don’t call me a hater damnit) But do they whole heartedly believe in their own hype, and as in hook, line, and sinker? Or do they just do it for show? Please tell me it is just for show, please.
And when they are interviewed talking about their latest “film” (translation: terrible and unoriginal remake) that they do simply for the money, which I can’t blame them for, are they actually serious about saying the new project is exciting and the greatest thing ever? Do they actually think these films are quality? Are they serious when comparing these new crap films to the old classics such as The GodFather, Casablanca, StarWars, Citizen Cane, or the several Kubrik (RIP) masterpieces that had surfaced throughout the past decades?
Someone please tell me…ARE THEY BEING SERIOUS? Has Hollywood finally lost its mind for good? These “stars” are more of a joke than any other group of celebrities on the globe, and to add insult to injury, they claim to know what is best for the world. Hell, some of them are even involved with the U.N. (unfortunately that was probably one of the better moves the U.N. has made this century). But I digress; I just want to meet one of these people behind the scenes, with no cameras, no video, and just ask them… ARE YOU SERIOUS?
I won’t mind if they are just pretending. Sometimes I pretend. I know I am nothing…do they realize that deep down they are nothing too?

What is the deal with these ridiculous scenes in the new Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull film, where Spielberg/Lucas feature computer animated gophers? (Okay they are actually Prairie Dogs, but you get the point) I wasn’t sure if I was watching Caddy Shack 4 or Indiana Jones 4. Are these “professional” film makers serious with this nonsense? Is there not one classic film that Hollywood will not destroy with this corny Jar-Jar Binks-esque garbage? I have two words for you: El Terrible.
Below is an image from the beginning scene of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (as the Paramount Mountain Logo transforms into this CGI Gopher). And not to spoil the film, but the gophers have absolutely nothing to do with the plot line or story. What a joke.

I just had a great script idea, a total money maker for you Hollywood producers. Instead of “Sex in the City”, how about a show called “Abstinence in the Countryside”? And instead of hip, fashionable, affluent city girls who crave for sex, it’s just average, boring, unfashionable girls who have nothing to do all day (and no one to do either).
Seriously do you think this would fly? Not edgy enough? Think it over a a bit. There seems to be no other original ideas on the table, so maybe we can do a power lunch and talk numbers….

What’s this obsession Hollywood has with writing British accents into every “accurately” portrayed or “historic-epic” movie? It seems like one acclaimed block buster after another is taken dead serious as being close to real events when in fact they should be looked at as a complete joke. Films like Alexander, Troy, Gladiator, 300, just to name a few, are perfect examples of this nonsense. Come on! We are supposed to believe that because the main character is speaking in some cool British accent that it has historical relevence and is legitimate to the story? It’s ridiculous. I know it is just a movie, but people turn around and say that it is so “true to life” as if that’s how it was? And I didn’t even mention how insane it is that the characters in these films are speaking English in the first place. How historically accurate is that? Or is it that we are too lazy to read subtitles and must pretend that the Romans spoke perfect English..oh and in a British accent? Who the hell makes this stuff up? I am not buying it people.
And why do they feel the need to always summarize years of complex historical events within a few cool italic lines of text? These are cute talking points, but come on now. What the hell is this? Are you kidding me? Has the audience really becoming this ignorant to throw awards at this garbage? It’s a comedy, not a serious film. What’s next? Are they going to do a film set in ancient Japan, but have all the Samurai’s speaking english? Wait….it’s already been done.

I waited patiently through all the media coverage and high school style gossip over these recent “Writers” Guild strikes and I’m ready to get a few thoughts off of my mouth regarding this meaningless topic. I’ve numbered these ideas in no particular order just to add to your reading experience.
- I never knew that Hollywood films required a writing staff or even had official scripts for that matter. I’ve seen more creative and well thought out stories in my 6 year old nieces coloring book.
- I’m sure that the writers had some solid reasons to go on strike, but wasn’t the strike itself a perfect opportunity to find NEW WRITERS who could write something better than the redundant formula Hollywood flick that we see OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. (Thanks Hollywood)
- Since when did a writer go on strike? I thought the idea of writing was to express freedom, creativity, and emotion through the “mighty pen”. Looks like the almighty dollar wins again!
- I think just like in many industries, most of these so called “writers” where at the right place at the right time. I am willing to bet that the average schmuck off the street could write a better screenplay than the ridiculous dribble we are pushed every week at the box offices.
- Come to think of it, isn’t it like 15 bucks just to walk into a film these days? What does anyone in Hollywood have to complain about? Shut the hell up and find a real cause to throw money at.

Bigger Things to Worry About than Celebrity Gossip
March 10, 2008What’s with the overload of media coverage focused on pure and utter nonsense? How many times must we see which star is wearing which Versace dress? How many stories can they run discussing that some overpaid, overrated actor made a witty comment at a recent awards show. There are many people who find it necessary to spend their time studying such details, but I really don’t care and I’m sick of it. I enjoy films, I enjoy music, and I enjoy the creative arts, but I don’t enjoy seeing our star-obsessed press constantly flaunt the “culture” of celebrity as if we are too ignorant to desire stories with any meaning. I value freedom of speech, and I understand that there are interesting stories about celebrities, but why in the hell do we need to know every detail of their lives? Is it important that we discuss what type of clothing they are wearing today or what school their kids go to? In my opinion, this is a flat out social obsession and a contagious disease that we accept as “fun”. I must ask myself, have we actually become this shallow as a people or is this simply what we are asking for?
We have enough serious events happening in this world to focus our time on, not to mention our personal responsibilities with work, kids, school, and other unforeseen circumstances. We need not forget that there are things going on in our world that are not limited to: poverty, starvation, disease, murder, war, genocide, gang violence, teen suicide (and the list goes on and on). Are these topics too controversial to discuss? Or are they only marketable topics to discuss when we ask the all-mighty celebrities what they think about these serious issues?
I’m not suggesting that I want to see more bad news, but I would like to obtain more of the truth from our media and less of the fluff stories. I suggest that we find our consciences in order to reject this over abundance of nonsense and demand some substance.
