Hewoh my lovelies! Ok, well, as many of you may know just recently most of the world celebrated the release of Back to the Future in theaters back in the hayday (I want to say, 1985), but anyways. just to make ya feel old!!
Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale put their feet down on Hollywood!
Any who, so, recently (and of course various news sources reported this) Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale (the geniuses responsible for this classic) were recently asked if they would ever consider a 'remake' of this iconic film, which they both said a resounding 'N....O!!'
And for that I'm ever thankful for them!!
Finally, two people have the guts to say to Hollywood and their 'remakes, late sequels' NO!
Seriously, I find it a bit disturbing, that yes, it's nice to reminisce of yester years blockbusters, and the movies that basically made up our childhoods (80s and 90s kids, and NO, you are not a 90s kid if you were born in 1999, don't kid yourself!).
I honestly feel that Hollywood has run out of creative films and have done the most lazy thing of all, remake, perfectly good movies (to begin with) and just added CGI stuff and crummy actors.
Ugh, seriously Hollywood?!
I specially cringe when they take a classic nostalgic film and just remake them for the sake of knowing that this film had to begin with a strong fan base and just remaking it for a cheap buck or two (well, not precisely a buck or two... but you get my point).
I feel like it is a slap in the face for ALL those people (directors, staff, stunt-doubles, sound effects, extras) who worked hard on the ORIGINAL movies and made a hit, and here comes the Hollywood machine and cashes in by adding too much CGI effects and killing the magic of the original film.
And yes, I will admit, I have and (plan no to) go see Jurassic World, and any "remade" film or belated "sequel" to any of my favorite childhood movies!
I like the "oldies" as they are. With the technical mistakes, or corny 90s effects, I still love them, and they hold a very special part of my childhood experience.
So, I give a standing ovation to Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale for putting their foot down!
So, some of you may wonder "why not?"
Well, for me Hollywood is not looking hard enough for newer talent, scripts, writers, actors, etc.
Instead of making every sci-fi/action/adventure film starring Chris Pratt (no offense to Pratt) how about giving a chance to an unknown actor? (Hello, Harrison Ford was pretty unknown back in the hey-day) and just look else where for other talented unknown scripts and screen writers, instead of using ones who have already established themselves. Who knows, we may get different and more interesting films.
Independent films, actors could use the boost, don't you think Hollywood?
I loved 'The Theory of Everything' and ' The Imitation Game' yes, they were based on real life individuals who contributed greatly in desperate times, but telling their stories and their accomplishments, for me, at least, is what I want to go see movies. I want that old Hollywood where stories, whether fiction or based on real people/events were on screen. Films with substance and specially made by up and coming talents.
And I will clarify, this is NOT a rant, it is just my own personal thoughts on what I think is missing from current films.
For those who want further details here is the article from the Huffington Post:

The Return of Jar Jar? SAY IT ISN'T SO!
So, as soon as my husband told me I had to look up this God-awful rumor, ASAP.
Thankfully it is JUST a parody trailer for Star Wars the Force Awakens. (yes, I was ready to riot too!)
here's the link to Rope of Silicon who have the video posted:

Ok, as soon as I saw that it was most likely a parody (Disney, Abrams, the WORLD is looking at you, DON'T YOU DARE PUT JAR JAR or WE RIOT!!!) my Geek Panic alarm shut down. But seriously, No Jar Jar, please!!
Hope you guys enjoy the parody trailer and hope that you guys are still as excited as I am for the release of The Force Awakens!!
Alright, I think (after my mini heart attack) I'll be going to watch Back to the Future and Empire Strikes Back (sans, Jar Jar, Yaay!).
Til' next time, stay safe my lovelies and eat all your Froot Loops!
