Clash of the Titans Remake Rant

I entered the following rant about the possibility of a clash of the Titans remake at:

It’s gonna be more of the same laughable, rediculous digital effects on par with a kids cartoon followed by an utterly mainstream snoozefest of characters who’s dialogue and actions were formulated by some marketing group’s research on how to appeal to the masses. Just like American automakers, Hollywood studios are SO concerned about their bottom line that they LIMIT their creative potential to the same old boring designs of the past that have proven to sell. Fine, so what do you get? A bunch of cars that all look the same….and sell the same. Meanwhile people are intrigued by the radical designs of foreign cars & ‘independant’ films and I’d rather stay home and watch YOUTUBE. I really think Hollywood ought to stop trying to passify their weak, inept stories with computer animations. Instead, I think they should just forget about it and take a chance on some radical new characters (like people who are less than perfect for a change) and make the focus of the movie…are you ready….THE STORY instead of effects, gore, or celebrity power. Finally, I’d like to mention to those Hollywood mainstreamers…if you want to see better sales at the box office, try making some PRO-AMERICAN films for a change. you might be surprised.
