ashlayla, Jameson, response to asyouwish & petite etoile

I also agree with the quote that asyouwish chose and what petite etoile said in response to the asyouwish post. To me, Hollywood is slowly running out of ideas and, therefore, must take from movies and television shows that were made in past years. They are even turning popular television shows into big screen movies. If Hollywood does not borrow from the past they recreate an animated film into a film with real people acting in it. For example, 101 Dalmations was originally an animated film but now you can also see it as a film with real people. Even Broadway is borrowing from the big screen and vice versa. Legally Blonde was originally a movie and is now a musical on Broadway. Rent, Grease, and Hairspray were all original Broadway productions that have been made into films. I have completely stopped watching American Idol because frankly, I'm tired of it. American Idol has been on for eight or so seasons and it is the same thing every year. Watch the people who have no talent sing and then vote for your favorite once the top 12 has been chosen. Of the eight winners from American Idol, I only know what 3 or 4 of them are doing now since they have left the show. Now there are dance shows (So you think you can dance and Dancing with the Stars) that have the same idea as American Idol, except instead of singing it's dancing. Hannah Montana has been on the Disney Channel for a few seasons and is now going to be turned into a movie that comes out this summer. The Brady Bunch show was also turned into a movie. Hollywood and producers are now relying on other television stations and movies and shows from the past to help create and recreate films and shows. I agree with Petite Etoile that in the future whatever is created or recreated for our viewing pleasure, there will be fans who watch the show or movie religiously and because of those fans these shows will be on for at least 2 or 3 seasons. I'm not going to lie, I think that sometimes watching remakes of certain movies is fun because you can compare the original to the new. But if that is all that is released in theaters, remakes get old after awhile and eventually people will stop going to the movies. Postmodernism maybe nearing its end but I think that it could last a little longer if producers of movies and television had some fresh inspiration to create something new.
