Seriously Hollywood, what has been upppppp with you lately.
Last year you produced multiple dark dramas that were both hard to follow, full of big words, sudden endings, and some even riddled with abstract ideas (some even told out of chronological order! how the fuck are we supposed to understand that shit). Think “There Will Be Blood,” “No Country For Old Men” and other amazing movies that made little money (OK, ‘Country’ made money).
Some critics said they were ok (although the clear underlying whiny message was, “do they have to be so dark?”), but really did anyone go to see them outside of these annoying film geeks (like us), no, and they were certainly no crown jewel of America cinema like the recently released “Ironman.” Finally after we had to sit through all that shit, you release some stuff this summer we can get into it (and understand), but now we hear that for the fall season you plan to release multiple period pieces (not quite sure what that is), but damn, who cares about what happened before 1990, did they even have iPhones back then??
Hollywood, you just can’t seem to figure out your own game, in your pursuit of Oscar glory you have left us with nothing but a bunch of films about shit that happened before we were born and able to send text message to one another in class. How are you supposed to understand the characters with their use of big words and archaic speech patterns. Lets just hope that Apatow has his comedic servants working on something this fall so we can avoid all that thinking-man’s shit.
