Modern Day Cinema: An Excuse for Porn

oh how I love not watching Television these days, who agrees? No one because people are so caught up with TV shows that week after week ,episode after episode has a 'kiss and break-up and make up' story telling that has actually lasted for several long seasons, I am so amazed on how audiences of today can be satisfied by that mere way of story telling-- Truly remarkable.

and what's up with remakes in the movie biz? what's worse is people actually are hungry for remakes and why's that because everything explodes whooopi, It gives you a ride, a thrill thanks for CGI, people need not to divert themselves on what's the story is about. Fantabulous! Also there are filmmakers that are so kind enough to feed on the hunger of people, they'll have lunch meetings, have incoherent discussions on the plot, cast bankable hot celebs, preferably a resume that says ok with nudity, another reason for actually not having lines or dialogues for that matter. Set the location: Studio, set up the green screen, director sits, says roll, DOP says rolling, director says, lights, camera, strip...I mean action. few 'in and out' then cut, off to cutting room, apply images and explosion, go to premiere and boom instant box office...now I can't really blame them can I? it sells which means there is an audience (or probably it's not only men have high testosterone levels that goes sky high when things blow up, I have come to believe that women also have testosterone levels don't know how the female can produce...must be CGIs...bravo technology, you have found ways to make non existent stimuli in a women's body.....)when there is money and evrybody's happy. where's the harm?


Well I'll tell you where the harm is, it deteriorates the essence of filmmaking, it kills the classics, it degenerates the point of storytelling, where are concepts, ideas and good storytelling? Films are there to tell a story not make everything explode(why don't you just watch nuclear test grounds or go to war or something) or make hot teen celebs strip and make sex/hotness the point of the story -- we have a term for that it's called 'porn'.

If that's what you want in a film why not just go log in yourself, the Internet has tons of free sites.

Maybe it sells so much cause two hormones are hit when watching CGI heavy Films, ( who ever said you can't hit two birds with one stone, obviously the served two hormones) explosion and sex, big screen, ahhh pure entertainment...because it's titled as 'movie' you'd have a clear conscience that you're not watching 'porn', it's just a movie two leads acting, mingled as one in a particular scene...hmmm sounds familiar.

now don't get me started in the music industry because it's long dead. Can someone please revive it? I'm still hoping for 'non-pushed-buttons' produced albums. I know tons of artist has remakes under their discography but please make it yours, make it original? don't kill classics. Please give some justice.
