Yet another Pirates movie?! I can't be the only one who is sick of these.

Please tell me I am not alone in being sick of these movies.  the first one was a fun little one off film but you know what, not everything needs to be a franchise.  Why do we need more of these?  I didn't even see the last one.

Why does it seem like there is nothing but sequels and remakes coming out of Hollywood these days?

I really miss the days when even most blockbuster films were not sequels, I am just on sequel overload at the moment due to the Marvel films,Pixar doing nothing but sequels these days, and it seeming like everything else is a reboot.  I would so love to see one film that isn't a sequel or tied into a series of films, comics, or books.  Is it too much to ask that something different comes out once in a while?

You know why your box office returns are so bad Hollywood?  it's not because of piracy, it's because I feel like I have seen everything you have to show me and tickets are insanely over priced.  Maybe I wouldn't be so picky if tickets still cost $4.50 like they did when I was a kid, but I am not paying three times that much just to see yet another film that doesn't tell a full story on it's own and requires me to buy a bunch of comics and other films and watch TV to follow what the heck is happening.  it's not a good value for my limited funds!

Pixar, for the first time ever, has two films out this year. Guess how many are sequels. 

Wait, what? Zero? They have two original movies coming out? Well shame on them for ruining a perfectly good rant about the state of the modern blockbuster.
