Cardboard Stand-ups (Rant)
I thought I would take the time today to address a growing concern, more like swelling concern, because it’s painful. It pisses the FUCK out of me that shitty horror actors are ruining every single horror film of the 21st Century. I have been outraged at almost every horror movie I have seen past 2004. Sometimes they aren’t bad movies, but the acting from these shitty new actors is one whole staircase of steps down from bad. It is so aggravating. I wish they would stop making horror films altogether and make sure that all horror actors go through film school without skipping the part of being believable.
It’s ridiculous how bad an actor somebody can be and still receive a huge paycheck. It’s like cheating life and it needs to be stopped. But, it can’t be stopped and it can’t be helped because all horror directors do these days are steal from other peoples films or outright copy them completely just for the sake of getting revenue. Countless re-makes of horror films that don’t need to be re-made are scheduled up to 2012 ALREADY. Imagine how many more could be added to that list over the next 3 years. Several hundreds have already been made, some not that bad, but now new directors are starting to reel in the rights to re-make classics. Don’t know how the fuck they do it, but it’s ridiculous. The re-make of Psycho had Vince Mother Fucking Vaughn for christ sakes. Obviously they dipped down then, but now they are really dipping. They are getting away with killing off cardboard characters in their backyard and that it really it. “Oh, hey guys, let’s make a movie” “Ok, but let’s do a re-make because this is my first movie and I don’t want everyone to know I suck dick at film-making”
That about sums it up right there.
