I want the Harlem Globetrotters movie.

 

It could never happen, though. Where would you find a live-action equivalent of such a crazy cartoon?

[Big Magnet]

Pixar could do it.

Sleeping Beauty and 7 Dwarves in Wonderland

[Decepticon Leader Sully]

starring Ron Jeremy.

50 Shades of grey was a bad book and movie, right?

Unless you are a shallow woman who likes $$$-porn

 

[DeathScepter]

[Decepticon Leader Sully]

i like to think of 50 shades as the female equivalent of a guy action movie. You know guy movies? Hot chicks, explosions, gratuitous violence, zero substance? This is the chick equivalent.

[Decepticon Leader Sully]

Bite your tongue. Those movies have so many things to include, but 50SoG is only a sik fak erotic movie.

a guy watching Twilight or 50shades is probably what girls feel when we drag them to a screening of Rambo.

[Decepticon Leader Sully]

I'm suddenly struck by the thought that, if pressed to pick, I would say that Cable television has set the highest bar as far as quality goes.

 

Hollywood has a storied history of scraping the bottom of the barrel, of course, and network television has embraced reality television over scripted television (and rarely does much to support the scripted television they still have.)

 

Even basic Cable fare has gone that way, with History Channel, The Learning Channel, and Discovery (among many others) abandoning the information/education focus they had in favour of sensational reality-TV style shows.

 

The phenomenon of using existing properties instead of new ones isn't necessarily a byproduct of the general "scraping the bottom of the barrel" level of quality, though. It certainly doesn't help raise the bar, but I've come to see it as an essentially economic decision. For good or ill, a huge amount of contemporary Hollywood film budgets (and in plenty of places other than Hollywood, as well) is spent on marketing. Far more, as a percentage, than what used to be spent. It is also the easiest of a budget's largest divisions to reduce in size with a single decision.

 

It costs considerably less to market an existing property than a new one. Simply using an existing property, especially in the internet age, will offload a significant amount of what marketing accomplishes onto the media and existing fanbase. You'll have fans of the property who will come see it regardless of the press, which is a bankable audience that you don't need to spend a dime to try and reach. You'll have a fanbase talking about the project, linking to it in internet chats, tweeting about it.

 

Media outlets will do news stories on it, covering a huge part of the marketing pie, and it doesn't cost the studio a thing. A new "Incredible Hulk" is news. At this point, simply announcing a new Incredible Hulk movie in some way will see a significant amount of buzz generate about a property before the marketing campaign itself is even underway.

 

When marketing a movie could represent tens of millions, I can see how it would be a practical decision, choosing to reboot "Robotech" over buying a new property from someone, and having to negotiate the extent to which they retain any kind of ownership or control, or share in profits.

 

Which brings me back to Cable. They have a pretty high bar. I'm not ringing the bells, declaring them perfect, but since the latter nineties, most of the great TV shows that I think of are from HBO and Showtime. Most of them are original properties, and the creators typically retain some of the rights and control over them. In fact, the creators usually have a significant role for the length of the show's run.

 

The Cable networks, at that level of competition, have no choice to be try as hard as they can to hit that high quality standard that has been set, which I think explains why they invest more in creator-driven shows. I believe you will consistently produce better art by backing a strong artist as a central creative force, and the nature of the Cable world is reinforcing the practice.

 

Maybe it's the niche idea, where paying for the specialty cable channels is helping keep the bar higher than in other markets, and pricing it accessibly has hit a balance by making it available to a wider audience.

 

Wow, I kinda rambled there, didn't I... I'm just speculating. There are certainly forces at play that I haven't considered.

Exactly women are just as big a bunch of suckers as guys are for semi-nudity.

Yet Another Spider Man Reboot

 

In 2017, there will be another rebooted Spider Man movie series. I couldn't make this up.
