Really???? What an opinion....

Posted by: VictorY on Feb 18, 21:20 in response to Rocket123's post I want to thank everyone for their comments and support,...

Sick of the market. Sick of the sequels.  We've already heard all this before. Yet, there are good sequels. Good additions to films at times.

No, typical PVL only sees his opinion and assumes its "unchallengeable."  He then insults everyone else and wonders why he's not taken seriously...  only "taken pity upon."

Your ideas are juvenile, at best. The market needs new talent. Those who can adapt to the new age. We need visionaries who can tell stories that work for modern audiences. We need history, we need new horizons. That keeps the industry interesting.

Video games have done it. The internet and "user generated" content have done it. Films are still behind the times.

And I don't want a response from you PVL on this, you've been nothing but crude to me and I'm not taking it anymore. If you want to be taken seriously... THEN START acting like an adult.  Otherwise, don't go preaching to me ideas about the film business I love, its jerks like you that ruin it for everybody in the first place.

In fact I'll ready my "I don't have to explain myself to you" response to you, just to be ready. JUST. LIKE..  YOU!!!!

Now "you" troll... get the #$#$ off the stage.

How the Entertainment Industry is Lacking Creativity...essay/speech by 14 year old girl. Rocket123 Feb 18, 16:30

Your daughter misses going to the movies. Come on Rocket, that's your cue. {nm} JMT-NL Feb 18, 16:50

I know, I feel terrible about it too. I drive by the theatre from time to time to see what is showing and just am not inspired. Rocket123 Feb 18, 20:28

Most impressive. Looking forward to her follow-up essay (tongue firmly in cheek). {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Feb 18, 16:50

Barney Stinson's oldest rule: New is always better! {nm} Austinmh Feb 18, 17:06

She's 14 and she wrote this? Wow. (IM) Paul2k Feb 18, 17:08

I think you and your wife did a good job teaching her to think for herself, Rocket. That essay was extremely well-written. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Feb 18, 17:23

We encourage free thought in my house. It's the only thing people can't control. What we think is ours alone. "Analytical" is in 'da genes. {nm} Rocket123 Feb 18, 20:43

That young lady has been granted an honorary Little Sistership at Delta House. She describes deftly the reason the Deltas see approximately DTXbro Feb 18, 17:37

Thanks for the sentiment. Rocket123 Feb 18, 20:38

Very impressive! Will you let us know how the speech/essay did , meaning what grade did she receive. You should be very proud! {nm} damenchipguy Feb 18, 17:40

She did a magnificent job. Loved the essay. Now she should write about how it sucks to pay over 10 dollars to see a movie MasterofPinball1983 Feb 18, 18:00

Can we get her box office analysis for next weekend? {nm} dsbman Feb 18, 18:15

+3.. probably she should play EAP too .. Awesome Insight and view of the entertainment scene {nm} karspov Feb 18, 18:37

The dog might be offended, but I'll ask. {nm} Rocket123 Feb 18, 20:43

really great stuff.. just one question: Oleg Max Feb 18, 18:42

Well written and great thoughts....but its an english essay eored Feb 18, 18:44

Sorry, it was a speech. My bad for terming it an essay. Rocket123 Feb 18, 20:16

Honestly eored Feb 18, 21:48

It is not offensive. Thank you for your honest opinion while keeping in mind we lived in the US (vs how it's done in the North) {nm} PVL admin Feb 18, 21:53

I want to thank everyone for their comments and support, even the less flowery ones. But there was a point to this: Rocket123 Feb 18, 20:26

Encourage her to see ARITY this weekend. Or plan a holiday around a film festival, and buy her a pass. second gary Feb 18, 20:33

Those are really good suggestions! Thanks! I especially love the film festival holiday idea. I am sure she would love it. {nm} Rocket123 Feb 18, 20:40

There's always books. Jane_Citizen Feb 18, 20:48

Oh, we have books. tons and tons of freaking books. Who gets to pack and move the boxes? Me, that's who! :) Rocket123 Feb 18, 20:51

I dunno, I saw a lot of good movies last year. Sure, more were at the art-house than the megaplex, but they were all more or less accessible {nm} dsbman Feb 18, 21:05

Really???? What an opinion.... VictorY Feb 18, 21:20

I agree with her (duh), but I am hopeful that some people in Hollywood can and will deliver. ndmaster Feb 18, 20:35

Sorry Rocket123. OlegMax does have a valid point. RotoHockeyYTD2012 Feb 18, 22:32

Solid piece for a 14 year old and I do regret vearing towards anything but complemetary when dealing with the work of a kid but... BionicMoron Feb 19, 06:35
