…Screw this forum.
Okay, let me make this clear: I’m tired of being jacked around by the entertainment industry. It’s not just George Lucas anymore. It’s Peter Jackson raping Lord of the Rings while at the same time glorifying how “close” he was to “Tolkien’s spirit.” It’s some new company making a crappy-ass version of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe for Cartoon Network (a version which thankfully bombed). It’s Nintendo putting out more and more Legend of Zelda games that get increasingly worse.
The worst part of all is that every time this happens, there’s always people who will turn around and try to pretend that raping our cultural heritage and our childhood is somehow a GOOD thing.
The new show “Loonatics”–a superhero version of Looney Tunes–is yet another way the entertainment industry is dicking with us. Right now there are a lot of people who are talking about how much it will suck. What do you want to bet that those exact same people will turn around and praise it on release, even going so far as to try and claim it’s somehow better than what it’s based on? JUST LIKE how some people on this very forum knew the Star Wars DVDs were going to suck but went ahead and bought them anyway.
Screw this, and screw the entertainment industry. Thankfully most of the stuff I love is available on DVD in unbutchered form, and I can live without the stuff that isn’t–including Star Wars.
I think I’m going to go watch Transformers: The Movie and remember what “Entertainment” used to mean…
