Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

The Cold War's back in a big way. Pay James Cameron (or Steven Spielberg) a ludicrous amount of money to walk away from Avatar (or Ready Player One) to direct a trilogy based on Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising.

Name movie sequels correctly. Look at what happens when you just don't even know what to do and everyone just does whatever they feel like:

Alien
Aliens
Alien³
Alien: Resurrection

Now let's see something with some sensible structure:

Police Academy
Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment
Police Academy 3: Back in Training
Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol
Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach
Police Academy 6: City Under Siege
Police Academy: Mission to Moscow

First movie title, numeral, subtitle. Simplicity, itself. But look at how it ends there. They knew they were on to something. Let's call it a compromise. A naming scheme that's a little more forward thinking. Let's see this applied a little shakily at first, but then correctly.

X-Men
X2
X-Men: The Last Stand
X-Men: First Class
X-Men: Days of Future Past
X-Men: Apocalypse

Ok, there was a little setback with the first sequel, but look how they pulled through. Look how much nicer those titles look than:

Batman Begins
Dark Knight, The
Dark Knight Rises, The

Nolan, you piece of poo poo! :argh:

The fundamental concept of cinema and films in general is not that is a depiction of reality but that it tells a story using its own symbolic language. Even the most realistic documentary cannot give an accurate representation of reality once it's assembled onto celluloid. The problem isn't so necessarily the way that film-makers present the didactic story or film, but the way the uneducated audience perceives it. Because it is a language it needs to be learned as a language. Individuals can't learn a language simply by watching people speak it, they must engage in speaking, writing, and listening. The same goes for the cinematic. The visual syntax is not a literal representation but means something more complex than its two-dimensional projection implies.

It's Oceans 11, only starring the '82 Milwaukee Brewers instead of the Rat Pack or George Clooney.

Rollie disables the security cameras by throwing baseballs at them. Robin Yount hits security guards with a bat. Gorman Thomas drinks lite beer and plays video poker.

So you're saying it's the public's fault we didn't like the Star Wars prequels?

I watch a lot of forgotten poo poo from the 80s and this couldn't be more true

Granted old bad movies tend to fail in a more fun way instead of the modern boring calculated way, I gotta second whoever said the Cannon films approach needs to make a comeback. Bad movies from the 80s are in their own realm of watchability compared to the mid-90s and forward and I think cocaine is to thank for that

Give exactly one million dollars and ten months to any unknown filmmaker with a finished script to make anything they want.

The script could be complete dogshit or something brilliant, it doesn't matter. As long as they spend no more than that million and have a finished film in ten months (and it can be legally released in the US), it gets released.


The studio totally stays out of the filmmaking process. Even if it's just 65 minutes of a dog taking a dump in IMAX 3-D, the studio cannot interfere as long as it stays under that budget and is on-time.

The ones that produce a somewhat watchable film get to move on to the $10 million / 18 month tier. There might be a $25 million tier above that but that is the limit. There will be no more $250 million movies with a marketing budget of several hundred million.

These budgets also guarantee no remakes or comic book movies because you can't really afford the rights.

Market a high-minded psychological thriller as the most generic family-friendly movie I could think of. Downplay that it's rated R and has scenes of realistic violence and gratuitous nudity. Like how I imagined Nine Lives was going to be when I first saw the trailer.
