Hollywood believes you're stupid

I've long been under the impression that the film industry has lost its creative juices, and that television has become the playground of daring directors, writers and actors. I don't have any real solid numbers but I'd dare say that 86% of movies suck, as in they're horrible, worthless wastes of time and energy. Well, I might have a little more ammo than just my opinion.

Here's a brief list of movies that actually got a "greenlight" (meaning millions of dollars for staff, cast, crew, equipment rental, script written and rewritten, catering, make up, pet care, lawn care, milk, et al) from major Hollywood studios, proving that Hollywood is the suck and they think you're stupid:

• Asteroids The Movie
• Candyland The Movie
• Where's Waldo, The Movie
• Battleship, The Movie
• Monopoly, The Movie
• Stretch Armstrong
• Baywatch, The Movie

Let's not mention the unnecessary remakes, or better yet:

• Teen Wolf
• Red Dawn
• Fame
• Total Recall
• Short Circuit
• Karate Kid
• Drop Dead Fred
• Wall Street 2

Meanwhile great and original sripts most likely pass from studio to studio (who are too afraid to take a chance on anything remotely original or new). This is why television is surpassing film in terms of creativity and storytelling. So, rather than waste 2 hours and over $10, start watching one of these spectacular television series: Breaking Bad, Rescue Me, Mad Men, Flight of the Concords, Bones, 30 Rock, Better off Ted, Battlestar Galactica, Friday Night Lights
