REST IN PEACE BERNIE MAC, A actually friendly celebrity
After I saw my third favorite movie, "Se7en", not only did Brad Pitt earn my respect, but I was able to memorize the seven deadly sins by thinking of the victims in the film (If you havn't seen the film you will still understand the rest of the blog.) Now, without further adieu
THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS OF FILM-MAKING
1. Gluttony
Primary example: Star Wars, Cacoon II, Jaws.
Gluttony in film-making is the act of making to many sequels that are all terrible and are all high budget. Ussualy the commiters of this sin are big film-company owners who just decide they want to make another billion-making sequel, and if the original cast, original writer, or the original director they will just replace them. Rarley does replacing everyone work (A rare examples are 28 weeks later, and Aliens which where great) But unplanned sequels are always really dumb, first off in action or sci-fi movies you have to ressurect the antagonist from the dead or just find a new bad guy. In romantic comedy unplanned sequels you will often find that now instead of the lead guy and gal falling in love now they've moved in together and they have to "Stay" in Love. I have nothing against sequels if they're planned. People who make a movie and leave everything open enough so that they may make enough money. Unplanned sequels as I already said are messy and never capture the creativity of the original.
2. Sloth
Primary Example: Spider Man, Speed Racer
The idiocy of a film with lazy mistakes. Film-wise this may in fact be the worst sin. These films where ussualy made because somone wants to make a three hour film with "Really cool" CGI. Films like these have scripts written in less time then the films length, they ussualy have big actors being paid huge sums of money to make a film where none of there actual talent is needed, lastly they throw in some huge director who probobly never even shows up on set. These films make billions in the box office and are praised as classics by the dumb public. No creativity is used, no talent, just green screen, lots and lots of green screen.
3. Pride
Primary Example: M. Night, Russel Crowe
Films really can't have Pride, but the people who make them sure can. You'll find pride when a film comes out that sucks and the director tries to defend it with worthless defense. then it also comes with actors with too much (well, Guess) to apear in low-budget films or work with directors.
4. WRATH
Primary Example: Happy Feet
Films with this often times have a moral or political objective not at all hidden in there film. This sin can easily be seen when you compare the film "Wall-E" to the film "Happy Feet". Both movies are cute kids movies, both CGI and both have the same moral. Only difference is that Happy Feet tied you down and gave you chinese moral torture, it went on an excesive hour where it tried to make every kid in the audience cry with bordeom and make every single adult in the audience feel guilty. Wall-E had the exact same moral but it was just kind of there, wasnt shoved down your throat.
5. Lust
Primary Example: Don't Look Now
Lust is simple. Transformers, one of the 10 worst films ever made, the only reason teen boys I know liked it was for a simple reason "It had a hot girl in it". See this movie because Kristin Dunst' ass can be seen for one frame, see that movie because it has nippers in it, When I go to a movie I'm not looking for porn...I like to watch films with my father, sometimes with my younger cousins and I don't enjoy having to press scene skip.
6. Envy
Primary Example: Countless number of films
Envy isn't frequent in big-budget movies, you ussualy find a Envy film hidden at the back of blockbuster. These are rip-off films, I once found a movie called "Alien Versus Hunter" a film about two alien breeds fighting, both looked like "Alien Versus Predator" except in this case its just low budget and made with actors who can't even show emotions in real life
7.GREED
Primary Example: I am Legend
Primarily Films that have too big of a budget and that in term ruins the film. In a low budget movies the special effetcs which are comprised of kitchen supplies often look 100 times more realisitic then the best CGI. Unknown actors who don't look like models but who can show true emotion can do better than actors who are super-sexy and are over-paid. Imagine my fourth favorite movie 28 Days later, the same script, except now replace Cillian Murphy with Will Smith, Replace Saleena with Britney Spears, add in some cheesy jokes, and then make every single zombie CGI...I have so much fury at the film "I am Legend". Will Smith can act as a action hero and a dynamite emotional actor, but was in comedy mode he we made this. Stuffed with uncreative sets, 10 minutes of shrek, some untimley jokes and lastly the super-fake zombies that looked so so so so so so so fake and you've ruined what coulda been a good film
did I make any sence just then....my neck is still killing me
