I am so sick of the production formula. By that I mean, taking an exciting sounding subject, then reducing it to as few participants as possible, and staging them in some sort of confined space.
For instance, "The Monster Who Ate Cleveland," (hypothetical) turns out to be about five friends trapped in a high rise elevator. Or in a snowed in cabin, or in an abandoned truck trailer, or in an underground vault of some kind.
When some world shattering event is taking place, all the movie is concerned with is how the strained relationship between a mother and her druggie teenage daughter is going to turn out. Never mind that the world is coming to an end out there. What's important is whether or not the druggie's boy friend can reach the estranged father in time. And, with people dieing wholesale all around, we audience are supposed to focus all our empathy and concern on one screw up of a kid, who's wandered into danger.
And, I'd like to know who told porno characters that they could become legitimate actors simply by keeping their clothes on, and reading a script out loud. Man, that is SO obvious! And disgusting.
That's my rant, and I'm sticking to it! :rulez:
