Hollywood down the shitter

We can't return, we can only look
Behind from where we came,
And go round and round and round in the circle game ..

Why are there so many shit films coming out soon?

The trailers that keep popping up on TV do not bode well for Summer 2010. The one that tops the list is that one called Marmaduke, where Owen Wilson voices a poorly computer-animated great dane through what I can assume will be a brainless 2-hour long child-friendly feel-good shitstorm. Seriously, watch the trailer. It offers an explanation to Wilson's recent suicide attempt.

Next on the list is one that I've just seen a trailer for on Dave. It was called something gay, I think it was Diary of a Wimpy Kid (do correct me). It seemed to be in the family of crap American films about primary school kids who inexplicably possess experience and linguistic sharpness beyond their years.

And the last one is of course the excellent-looking Piranha 3D, which looks like a poorly executed excuse for a 3-dimensional tit-fest. How can you make a mess out of that? Oh yeah, add a healthy portion of angry flesheating fish. Man, it looks shite.

Back to the drawing board Hollywood. Inception, we salute you.
