Is Hollywood Insane?

Browsing through the trailers of upcoming movies at Apple.com is instructive in a disheartening sort of way. The vast majority of the movies seem to be about: dysfunctional families, psychos, traitorous policemen, murder, infidelity and just seriously screwed-up people making stupid, depressing choices with their lives. Who wants to see films about such things?

Whatever happened to the studios that made such films as Bringing Up Baby, That Darn Cat and Where Eagles Dare?
I wish someone would lock all the studio heads into a room with a bunch of Ritalin-deprived chimps with endless supplies of rotten tomatoes to hurl (the chimps would do the hurling, not the studio heads; the studio heads would run about and whimper like mewling infants).

I agree. And many movies I love--like Charade for example--they remake into dirt. So sad. Nice blog. I'll be back.

Charade...what a superb movie. Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn should be sainted.
