Post Re: Movie Remakes
The entertainment industry has been dealt a devastating blow by our postmodernist society. They don't know what to deliver any more than we as a whole know what we want. The studios used to put out a western or two a year, a musical now and then, and the occiasional biblical epic and nobody complained. Now all the traditional molds are shattered. Studios arne't willing to shell out millions for a movie that might or might not click (ie anything original or new) thus mostly what we get are new version of movies or adaptations of tv shows/comics that already have devoted fans.

And indie film, which should be shining like diamonds in comparison, isn't. With the bad acting, the pretentious writing, and the amateurish/cliched direction present in most indies, it's enought o make this movie buff want to take up needlepoint for entertainment.

This interview with Frank Zappa explains the problem with the music industry, but can also be applied to most modern media.
