I think you've pretty much said everything that needs to be said.

I'm working on it.

But the familiar makes money. Movies cost a lot money to make. The theaters show what the market dictates...and writers/directors being original have to sell their ideas under the guise of some other hit in order to make sense to the person with the money who will let you make a movie.

That's how it goes. Unless you can keep 15-18 year-old boys from going to see Boogyman2 or TCM the Beginning, you'll be seeing even more of these kind of flicks.

What you can do is go to the good ones in the theater. All of them. Support Indie Horror like HATCHET or BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON or DAMNED ;)
Go see the cool foriegn horror in the theater like PAN'S LABYRINTH and you will be rewarded with more of them in the theater

Money decides what you see. Spend it the right way...go to the theater for the original ideas and save the sequels/remakes for the DVD rental.

Yah, he looks kinda wolfy-like anyway. I think it'll be good.

Hee-hee, he played "Duke The Dog Faced Boy" in Big Top Pee-wee in 1988, http://www.beniciodeltoro.com/images...op/bigtop1.htm

I found the solution many years ago....don't go to the theatre to see any of this crap....don't buy any of the DVDs.

It's called capitalism....you might have heard about it.
