I'm 25.

I hate famous people.

Has anyone seen a good movie lately because I haven't and frankly I am sick and tired of Hollywood altogether. Enough with the sequels already. The first movie made money. We get it. Isn't there some plot some writer can conceive of which doesn't involve Will Ferrell bouncing around the screen for two hours? I hate Will Ferrell and I hate how every time he is in a movie the entire crew of his asshole eating actor friends has to be in it as well. Old School and Anchorman were not funny. At all. Being in college has subjected me to countless fat fraternity flubs who constantly quote from these movies so they can prove to everyone surrounding them just how "with it" they are. Perhaps the biggest disgrace to cinematic integrity was that inexcusable waste of time and money, Talladega Nights. I hate that movie with a fiery passion. Product placement is no secret in Hollywood, but come on, was it necessary to have an actuall commercial right in the middle of the movie? Like no one was going to notice 30 seconds of Applebee's shamelessly advertising their new grilled shrimp entree or whatever the hell it was. I'm sure it was no accident that the movie just so happened to be about Nascar to allow the most brand endorsement possible. I have an idea for a movie. Why doesn't someone take a camera into the mall, go through all the stores and repeat "buy this product" over and over into the mic for two hours? Then I could charge $9 for a ticket and make people sit through about twenty minutes of commercials in the theater before the movie started. What is this crap about watching commercials in a movie theater? I used to be an advertising major but then realized how much I loathed the concept of marketing products to the masses. I hate the idea of shoving merchandise down people's throats, and today you can't even go to the bathroom without some commodity raping your conscious. The problem with entertainment is that once one concept does well, a million clones are created in the hopes of producing the same result. Just about any new show today functions on the American Idolism of TV: get some everyday schlubs to sing and dance and convince some washed up has-beens to berate them while having the television audience choose who they want to win. Great concept except for the fact that it's been beaten to death. Reality TV my ass. A good reality show would involve taking a camera into a grocery store and perching it on the shoulder of a cashier just so America could see just how moronic and assinine their fellow citizens are when it comes to purchasing groceries.
