Bitternet

What I find so tiresome are all the comments on internet movie "fan"-sites. They quickly become a magnet for all these bitter souls bemoaning the end of all that is sacred.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

PRODUCTION-COMPANY-A is moving forward with a remake of OLD-MOVIE. The script by WRITER-B is going out to potential directors.

Comments:
Nooo! More evidence that Hollywood is creatively bankrupt and willing to eat babies fresh from the womb. Old-Movie is a modern classic and should never be touched.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

GRAPHIC NOVEL has been snapped up by MOVIE-STUDIO-D.

FILMMAKER-X is set to adapt.

Comments:
WHY??? Why do they let Filmmaker-X keep making movies!? Graphic Novel will get completely ruined. I may have to kill myself and my loved ones before this comes to pass.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

MOVIE-STUDIO-G has greenlit a sequel to FRANCHISE.

FILMMAKER-Z will tackle WRITER-M's script.

Comments:
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

Why would they try to make a sequel to Franchise?!? Filmmaker-Z is a hack and I've never heard of Writer-M.

This is a clear sign that there is no God. I can only pray for a nuclear holocaust to wipe out Hollywood. Everyone must die.

I get it.

It's anonymous. People are hiding behind faceless handles. Most are just letting off steam or trying to get rises out of others.

But most of these people will STILL go see the movies. If only to trash them online. If they're reading those sites religiously, I'd say they're more likely to go see the splashy Hollywood adaptations/remakes/sequels over the smaller arthouse films.

I don't want to get all high-and-mighty about it, but Jesus Christ. They're movies. People get so fucking uppity over this shit.
