I do want to see <B>Bewitched</B> and <B>Dukes of Hazzard</B>, though. <BR/>Yeah, it seems that almost every movie is being catered to the younger set. You cannot go into one fast food joint without finding a "movie tie-in" toy. <BR/>The studios are lowering the age for horror flicks, so younger kids could see it. Almost the same amount of gore and sex scenes, yet the studios are cashing in on kids watching these films.<BR/>I, usually, wait until the movie is out on DVD. My life has being hectic that I cannot seem to go out to the movies.<BR/>Of course, I think everyone who has read Gregg's books will most definitely catch the movie screen version of them. Even with noisy kids in the theater!Aquaryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09893810469593721229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8450259.post-1119460210535748392005-06-22T10:10:00.000-07:002005-06-22T10:10:00.000-07:00Uh oh.

One, I don't feel like reliving my youth (Bewitched, Duke of Hazzard, The Honeymooners, etc.), and after that, I'd like a movie that actually has some character development. I don't want to be manipulated into seeing a film (Mr. & Mrs..., Batman, War O' World, etc.) because of an exhaustive focus on the celebrities. I want stories and I want to be taken into a world with a unique perspective. I guess that's why I'll be in film school this fall. lolLawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814822977297662188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8450259.post-1119266601949534002005-06-20T04:23:00.000-07:002005-06-20T04:23:00.000-07:00I rarely go to the theatre these days.

Adn I think you are exactly right, most movies are aimed at the younger set.<BR/>I used to buy a lot of movies and even that is slowing dowm simply because most new movies I don't want to see more than once.<BR/><BR/>Another reason is I just prefer to watch at home. My recliner is more comfortable, the food is better, and there are no other people around to annoy me.<BR/><BR/>I think society in general trys to market to much to the under 25 set, who strangely don't really seem to care about anything. Shorrt attention spans and short memories. Too bad most of the people doing the marketing are the same age.<BR/><BR/>McDonalds commercials are a perfect example. Trying to make a hip trend out of eatinf bland food because ou raise your pinky is just stupid.<BR/><BR/>Hollywood needs to find a happy middle ground between epic movies and brainless teen fare. Someopne should remind these kids that a lot of Americans still like to think, and that MTV style quick eidts don't interest most people.Jon The Crime Spree Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09516077426733561884noreply@blogger.com
