Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

They think that people are going to a movie like Green Lantern because of the leading man. Sure that's part of it, but if it was only about Ryan Reynolds, why not make the Ryan Reynolds movie? Just have an hour and a half of Ryan on screen cracking one-liners and taking his shirt off. Why bother with all the Green Lantern nonsense? I think a good portion of people going to see Green Lantern are amazingly enough going to see a movie about the Green Lantern.

I would give Ridley Scott's Alien prequel as a prime example of the lunacy that is Hollywood. How many millions upon millions has the Aliens franchise made over the years? It's not exactly a weak franchise. So when they finally get the man who started it all to make a prequel they start quibbling over rating and budget? I'm sorry, but a properly done Alien prequel, helmed by Scott is pretty much a sure-fire way to print money. There's so little risk involved with that movie, but yet it's been put in jeopardy because the execs are too-shortsighted to see the reality of it.

They do this over and over again and then wonder why something like Doom (which if done right would have been another way to print money) utterly tanks. It's because they were too afraid to accept a tiny bit of risk in order to get that big payoff. Instead they try to play it safe and fail horribly.

Dude, i 100% agree with you on like all of that

Those are some crappy movies man. Why not the first Cube or the first Nightmare?

The Mothman Prophesies is a damn good movie.

You should try Silent Hill. If you are a fan of the games you would like it.
