Bring back REAL action movies!!

[water49]

generally more fun! Universal, Paramount, Fox, Columbia, New Line, MGM and Warner weren't afraid to put their money on the line and take chances. This allowed Speilberg, Lucas, Zemeckis and others to make radical and and entertaining big budget films as well as the quirky high-school comedies from John Hughes!

A lot of the '80s movies WERE trash, but the people behind them at least had style and vision and the execs had BALLS

If you want another example of how Hollywood is soft today, who remembers in the '70s, the Kubricks, Friedkins and other directors (the others' names escape me - my shame!) terrorized the movie execs with their demands - more budgets, longer shoots and bigger pay - but BETTER movies!

Now, we've got music video guys doing movies - fine if it's people like Michael Bay, but not McG with his vacuous Charlie's Angels movies. These movies have no plot or script, just a series of fight scenes intercut with dancing!?? This suits Hollywood execs now because this generation of directors are used to working with a low budget in a short time, but they've only really worked on videos and commercials from 30 seconds to 6 minutes! How can they handle a 2 hour film?
