A project like the musical Nine ,based on Fellini's 81/2,which wound up being a major misfire.Wasn't that meant to be Oscar bait? Aha that was the reason to green light it...because it was Oscarish? Those who approve material like that definitely need to get out more.They are really out of touch with the civilian ticket buyers. Sometimes the entire movie business looks and feels as if it has split, a true bifurcation of the movie business. On one side are the so-called popcorn movies aimed at the kids,teens and twenty somethings .Then there are the indies, which can be most unsatisfying and those deadly BDD'S,the bleak dud dramas made for the Oscars.My my how the movies have changed.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10277473057632353125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24904037.post-54193324952536977802010-05-05T21:47:26.609-03:002010-05-05T21:47:26.609-03:00Nobody knows if the director is going to go off hi...<i>Nobody knows if the director is going to go off his nut during the middle of production and decide to replace the leading lady with a chimpanzee with anger management issues.</i><br /><br />How would you tell the difference? (especially if they shaved the chimp)<br /><br />*rimshot*<br /><br /><i>I will not lie and tell you that as ruler of the world, I will be tough but fair. I intend to be tough, and totally unfair, and the lives of all humanity will be under the control of my capricious whims.</i><br /><br />Like you say, can't do any worse. Hell you've got my vote.<br /><br /><i>2. SALARIES: Pay will become commensurate with money making ability. If you can put real bums in seats, you will earn real money. Fail to earn real money, and you won't get big money. Now if you are a new performer who lands a monster hit, you will be rewarded with a piece of the profits. Even if it's net, because under my rules, there will net. I will also have my geneticists create unicorns.</i><br /><br />Part of me thinks up front salaries should be jettisoned all together and actors paid only with what the movie earned. (yeah, there's probably more to it than that but it's a start)<br /><br /><i>4. SHOOT: Those found wasting money on productions with stuff that doesn't contribute to the film, will be shot... out of their jobs, and possibly a window as well.</i><br /><br />Might I suggest a 3 strikes rule?<br />1st time: shot out of a cannon<br />2nd time: shot out of a cannon from the roof of a tall building<br />3rd time: shot by the cannonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
