Give me a break Hollywood...

I meant the psycho remake not the sequel. so, actually I was right about that. it all comes down to interest and how novel of an idea the original is how they can take that idea and make a movie years later and what more can be made about the blair witch legend? and how can anyone, anyone still care? it was a fad, a gimmick, a novelty idea which had it's time which ran out 10 years ago.

plus psycho is a great and classic film that people loved and deserved a sequel whereas this movie is not deserving as it's too late and what could possibly be added to the original film? the first blair witch wasn't anywhere near as good as psycho. that is where the difference lies.

the court is in order! lol.

yes, yes!!! finally someone on here, anyone on here agrees with me on this trend which in nature is killing all creative integrity and need to be creative with movies.

I know I'm right about this because there is only one way to make movies which is making them good and creative and original and imaginative and striving as hard as you can to not repeat or copy something that has already been done in a movie before.

it's after all an art form and it's after all, all about giving people original and creative ideas and innovations because it is an art form. all of this cannot be disproven about movies.

me too, I also grew up in the '80s and the farther we get from it the worse movies get and the more different and bad things get in movies. remember back when movies had integrity and weren't just cash grabs and cheap, pointless, and value less clones of other movies or generic, just ok movies?

movies used to mean something, they used to give you goose bumps and really excite you and give you things and experiences, emotions, and memories that were so special and unique and changed your life, nowadays we almost never get movies that do any of these things.

the closest that we get are films like ex machina, laid to rest, under the skin, and stitches, although with the exception of stiches all of these films are perfect films that are classic and are going to be legendary films in 10 years.

yeah, lol, back in the '80s, "when films generally had enough integrity to try and give you something different each time," imagine that(said sarcastically), when movies actually had enough integrity to try and give you something different each time. I mean, shouldn't we as audiences always get this? shouldn't this be required for movies?

the thing is this when it comes to movies and music and tv shows and everything in the '80s, it was always memorable and unique. films were unique back in the '80s and that made them special to you and to the masses. they connected with people and people's emotions and sensibilities and intellect and imaginations.

we shouldn't see movies to validate our complaints or bad views or concerns. we should have a positive movie expectation every time we see a movie.

not just because that is how it should be when seeing a movie and the value of a movie but also because we are paying money to see a movie and putting in our time to watch a movie and are putting our energy into a movie.

so we should be happy and excited to watch a movie every time and we should get good movies that are worthy of our time and money and energy.

also, of course, just because a movie makes a lot of money, that doesn't make it a good movie. there are *beep* loads of crappy movies that make a lot of money and have no value whatsoever, like the twilight series.

when you mentioned hiring directors with little or no passion for what movie they are directing were you talking about the guy who directed the reimagining of Friday the 13th?

And that's your opinion, but a lot of people don't feel that way. It's time is obviously not up if people are still excited for it. I know people who are excited for it who haven't even seen the original, and they're so excited that they went and watched the original just to know what to expect for this one. So it's obviously doing what it intends to do. Which is get people excited about the franchise's revival.
