Is it just me or is Hollywood becoming more generic and dull than ever. I mean just look at these stories.

Seven Psychopaths

The Iceman

1. Funny things happening to psychopaths and mobsters.

2. A brutal Hitman with a soft heart.

Just swell. Never seen movies quite like those. Brilliant.

Oh and incidentally, folks, just hope you like the new version of the SB player that features some proper enhancements, along with various cool goodies and better integrated social network sharing options etc. Hope you enjoy it (it's courtesy of the fine boys and girls at the Springboard team).

Seriously those are your generic movies? Get the fuck out. They look great to me. You want originality then learn french, shove a croissant up your ass and start watching indie artsy stuff that fuck knows what's happening in them.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to Seven Psychopaths, sure, might not be a revolutionary story, but In Bruges was a lovely little gem.

Generic and dull but pretty nice cast in both of them.

Hollywood is getting worse every year. They are rebooting franchises like crazy.

Morning,

I don't watch movies these days anyway. Only porn and they're all pretty generic and easy to predict.

It's easy to look at the movie industry as boring and repetitive but every industry is like that.
Every one in a while you get brilliance but most is garbage.
From board games through beer to cars. Music as a massive example .
And it's good for the masses as well.

But then you have scorsese and Jim jarmusch and Darren aronofsky and tarantino etc etc who give us the random gems we like so much.

Personal note - if you haven't seen The Fountain by Darren Aronofsky, go watch it now.
  im_stardust: Random gems we like so much? The fuck are you talking…
PigMaster: As much as I love the fountain, I agree with most of …
im_stardust: Ah..ok.

Actually The Iceman is based off of a real contract killer, one of the most notorious in history. That dude was far from someone who had a heart, just watch the documentary "The Iceman and the Psychologist". It's just this psychologist interviewing him while he talks about his murders. Dude was fucked up in the head.

well... hollywood is getting shittier and shittier year by year... nothing new about it.

HOWEVER, "the iceman" is based on a true story. seen a documentary about this guy a few years ago and as far as anyone cares about my opinion - this movie can actually be good.

aw fk wait, it's hollywood. OF COURSE IT'S GOING TO FKN SUCK! they'll butcher the facts and any sort of true history just to "spice up" the script. DOH!

Hollywood getting shittier? hollywood has always been quite shitty, it's funny how people pretty much only remembers the classics from the past while there was shit coming out all the time back then aswell.

The worst thing is Hollywood keeps paying actors a RIDICULOUS amount of money to....act. No one should get more than $1 million per movie, but some leading actors get nearly $20 million.

Reikhardt: That's ridiculous. Would you rather the actors get no…

and what have you created in your whole fucking life? NOTHING. go make something and then come back with an opinion. fucking spoiled consumers.
  tei187: hehe... and you are a what? :D

Movie industry has it's shitty films and enjoyable films. To each their own and that is all to be said about films and such.

Here's something you'll never fucking see come out of Hollywood for a good couple decades due to marketing: a goddamn 3D comic-based movie with an exclusive audience of mature movie-goers. http://www.youtube.co/watch?v=zr_Ta6NS3-g

You wanna whine about movie industry? Whine about something as awesome as that never being made.
