Consider your home video camera. Consider how technically difficult, if not annoying it is to transfer your precious video to, say, DVD or your computer.
Now consider making a movie. Imagine making a real movie, not a backyard amateur production, but a real movie, where you have to hire actors, have technicians, editors, producers . . . the mind reels at the complexity of it all.
Yet my mind doesn't reel at the complexity . . . my mind reels at the SHEER IDIOCY of it all. Is there a drug called "Optimism?" If so, it isn't working.
I walked through the video store yesterday and was overwhelmed -- no, really, overwhelmed -- at the sheer number of movies, which I remind you must have taken thousands of people and millions of dollars to produce, which just upon sight alone indicated were complete pieces of shit.
Eddie Murphy in a fat suit? WHO MADE THAT FLY???? WHO GREENLIGHTED IT? yet the merde continues.
Isn't it a sad comment about human creativity when only about .01% of ALL human projects actually succeed?
That would describe the movie industry. Amazing how so many are hired for so much to produce so little.
I have had almost those exact thoughts. I think it was a different Eddie Murphy movie. And I am Not joking.
ReplyDeleteWell, the list of bad Eddie Murphy movies is very, very long.
