Hollywood writers, go to Hell

I've never been a huge TV fan. The few Hollywood shows I like are old now. Mostly, I'll watch Discovery/BBC, South Park, Top Gear, Futurama, History, Military and Speed. I've never seen The Office, and I don't intend to. I couldn't tell you the difference between King of Queens and Everyone Loves Raymond if you paid me.

Last night, just for kicks, I watched R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet". Ya know what? It was pretty gaddamn entertaining. Not exceptionally good, but certainly entertaining.

This got me thinking: If R. Kelly, a violent, poorly spoken, child humping and pissing and videotaping hoodlum can make something this good to watch, what the fuck are all these Hollywood people good for? The very best they can come up with are lame copies of British TV shows, lame copies of themselves, and lame rehashes of old crap. Did you know Knight Rider is coming back? WHY??? The best movie to come out recently was Transformers. Trans-fucking-formers. G. I. Joe will be out this year, along with a lot of other recycled garbage. What's next? Alf? Mama's Family? Thundercats?

I have a hard time understanding why masses of people would choose to watch all this diarrhea, much less pay for it. Then there's the degenerates that will go see every single movie in theaters. To them I say, "Listen, retards, you're not getting a welfare check to piss it away at the cinemas, so go back to buying Dolce or Hillfiger baby clothes or something."

In closing, I say let the writers strike as long as possible. Hopefully, it will be followed by a lengthy lockout, and then ebola or necrotizing fleshitis* will sweep through all these bullshit celebrities. If Hollywood wants my time and money, they have to earn it.


*Necrotizing Fasciitis

I endorse and full heartedly agree with this rant.

There are a lot of talented writers out there. If it were me I'd say Fuck you and hire all new Writers. They can't be that good.

The shows I watch that were reinstated without the writers......... I can't tell the difference. If anything, their funnier!

please, enlighten me.

Your whole theory hinges on the idea that Trapped in the Closet is quality filmmaking. That invalidates your entire rant because Trapped in the Closet is a steaming pile of shit.

not true. my point is"Trapped in the Closet" is far from excellent filmaking, and still much better than what the established industry produces.

Then you're just an idiot.

Seriously. If Trapped in the Closet is the best thing you've seen in a long time you're either sheltered, retarded or both. I'm not saying the majority of movies or TV shows released are good, but there certainly is a lot of good stuff out there. You just have to find it.

You profess to have not seen most of the shows and movies that you are criticizing. You don't see the ignorance in that? The only one who can enlighten you is yourself.

I feel The Office is one of the best shows that television has had in a long time, it's right up there with MASH and the early-middle seasons of The Simpsons (when it was still good). The way you are expressing yourself almost makes it sound like you're afraid of experiencing new shows and movies because you don't want to be disappointed.

I do agree that the writer's strike is nonsense and at least 90% of television is crap (along with most of their movies). I'm also not a huge TV fan. At least I've seen a few episodes of the shows that I claim to dislike, rather than assuming I'd hate any show that I've never seen.

Also, all of the remakes and sequels coming out of Hollywood out of the last few years is a bad trend, but it seems to make them money. You are correct there as well. There are a few good movies every year that are original as well, the rest suck.

I would pay to watch a Thundercats movie.

I'm trying to come up with ways the strike has affected my life.
1) NPR now mentions the strike every couple of days thereby neglecting the important stories they used to cover like the effect of price increases for hot house tomatos on Susan Stanburg's cooking.
2) I'm kept updated on has-been celebrities who I might otherwise thought dead as I learn their shows have been canceled.
3) ???

Definition of ignorance:

Ignorance is a lack of knowledge. Ignorance is also the state of being ignorant or uninformed.

Your knowledge of the industry you seem to so deeply hate:

I've never been a huge TV fan. The few Hollywood shows I like are old now. Mostly, I'll watch Discovery/BBC, South Park, Top Gear, Futurama, History, Military and Speed. I've never seen The Office, and I don't intend to. I couldn't tell you the difference between King of Queens and Everyone Loves Raymond if you paid me.

Your basis for said hatred:

Last night, just for kicks, I watched R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet". Ya know what? It was pretty gaddamn entertaining. Not exceptionally good, but certainly entertaining.

Questions?

Yeah, you can't bash a new show without at least giving it a shot.

I still miss Arrested Development. I'm not sure if I'll ever see a show quite as good. I even saw it when it premiered, so I didn't watch it because of the bandwagon effect.

 

[Pabster]

I have to agree.

The strike has had zero effect on me. They can stay out permanently.

Perhaps we'll finally see the rise of alternative media.

"Everbody Loves" is not a current show. 😉1996-2005

I also found some of the show annoying,
but I do laugh at some of the syndicated re-runs I view.

The same with Seinfeld and a few other shows;

Not living in the NY City/New Joisy/ Long Island megopolis area,
some of the jokes/humor make me go Huh???
