The first ever "they're not necessarily out to get you" alien movie.

I am really puzzled by the film industry's love-affair with remakes and make-overs. If there were a shortage of writing talent I suppose it might be understandable, but if anything, there's a surplus of authors. I did wonder for a while if it was pressure from actors and actresses who wanted to play their favourite role rather than an unknown one, but the film business isn't run by the stars. I suspect there's a deeper reason, probably economic, and probably it's in a folder filed under F for Fear of Failure.<BR/><BR/>My suggestion for a way out of the morass is to get a program lke poser and learn how to anmate the characters: make your own movies, and blog them.Sopwith-Camelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01279739015827329318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21067023.post-71745378830912428702007-11-24T21:45:00.000-08:002007-11-24T21:45:00.000-08:00I couldn't agree more.

Plus, everything these days is fake-ass computer generated crap. What ever happened to real people and real stunts? Plus, they always want to throw in an original-cast member cameo, and put a clever twist to the ending. <BR/><BR/>By the way, check <A HREF="http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2007/11/22/william_shatner_dissapointed_about_star_" REL="nofollow">this</A> out.World Champ Stephen Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03233004760190207435noreply@blogger.com
