What'd you think I'd say?

Let's face it, this is Hack Hollywood we're talking about -- a town entirely built on the notion "How little can we make it for and STILL trick people into shelling out their dough?" This is the HALLOWEEN and FRIDAY THE 13TH syndrome all over again, when Hollywood woke up and realized a slasher with a knife and some boobilicous teens and fake blood was all you needed to make a quick buck. Now we have reality TV on the low end of the production scale (and the intelligence meter) and that (unfortunately) has brought in ratings since apparently people actually have reached the point where entertainment can't ever be too stupid. Last night's 30 ROCK and Alec Baldwin crowing over the success of MILF ISLAND and how audiences would eat it up was spot on.

So it was only inevitable that someone would pitch CLOVERFIELD (reality TV meets a monster movie shot cheap with a camcorder) and now, yes, since THAT made money here come the clones.

Well, at least until someone comes up with an even STUPIDER idea that can be made even CHEAPER and turn a profit, at which point being the "creative and artistic souls" (cough! cough!) that they are, all of Hollywood will then flock to copy THAT...

I like me some alien invasion movie, but that resume reads a bit beefhead.
