Laziness on your part does not make me an asshole for pointing it out. I actually got a kick out of the irony that you basically did what you were complaining about by not looking to see if a similar thread had already been started. '
BTW i am an asshole for many other reasons.
And that is basically what it comes down to, laziness. no one wants to stick their neck out and make something new fopr a change, it is easier to merge old conventions and ideas with what is currently thought of as cool. New ideas are hard to make, creativity is a much rarer gift than people think.
I hate what movies have become fo rthe most part too. One of the great pleaasures in life is going to a theater to see the opening of a movie you have been dying for fo rmonths. That almsot never happens anymore.
I would like to see more people getting off their asses and trying to create what they want to see rather than bitch about what they are handed on a regular basis.
I'm a writer, and i kill myself to create original works. I made one story that was derivative, but i advertise it as such, and im not exactly out trying to make it into a movie (plus, it has gotten rave reviews by everyone who has read it so far. "Father Dillon's Funeral" for the curious)
Austin is also a writer (a screenwriter), and from the hint he gave about the screenplay he wrote, it sounds original. i hope it sells, because i would see it.
I hope this pisses you off. i hope it gets your blood boiling, and you get off your ass and write something. it doesnt even have to be good, just original. TRY to make a difference, rather than sitting around impotently screaming at the screen because you hate what you are being fed, but refuse to turn it off or walk away.
