The Temporary Downfall of the Motion Picture Industry.

Finally!! Hollywood will potentially fall to it's knees if a proposed strike takes place in 2008! The Screen Actor's Guild, Writers Guild of America, and the Directors Guild of America are all threatening a strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. The different guilds (who have some kind of contract with Alliance) are wanting changes made to their current decades old contracts mainly centering around royalties received from Internet distribution. Hollywood's reaction to the strike is to rush movies to completion before July 2008. Click here for a link of movies but here is my reaction to a few:

1. Cell - Eli Roth's next movies based on a book by Steven King. A cell phone signal is sent to cell phones across the planet and turns everyone into zombies who are transforming into something worse and how survivors cope now that society has fallen.

2. Comeback - Who keeps giving Fred Durst work?? Durst is set to direct what will probably be a steaming pile of bullshit. I don't care enough to look up the plot but this movie fades into oblivion.

3. Porky's - A remake of the classic comedy with the infamous shower peep hole scene. If you have no idea what I'm referring to then do yourself a favor and hide back under that rock you've been under.

4. Prince of Persia - Based on the popular multi-platform video game which will probalby suck as much as every game based movie.

5. Magneto - Out of every X-men and their rogue gallery, why a Magneto movie??

6. Wolverine - This makes more sense but when his Hollywood going to learn that the popularity with comics isn't just what was big in the 1990's.

7. Trial of the Chicago 7 - Spielberg's next flix which will probably be pushed back after the proposed strike.

8. The Serious Man - The next Coen Brothers movie which should be another masterpiece.

9. The A-Team - I pity the fool!

10. The Day the Earth Stood Still - A remake of a classic sci-fi flick. The story of humanities first face to face with beings from another world and our idiot reaction.

11. Fantastic Voyage - Another Roland Emmerich piece of steaming poo.

12. Street Figher - Based on the video game. Let's hope they get it right this time.

13. Another Bullshit Night in Suck City - I love that title!

14. Life of Pi - Based on a novel about a shipwrecked Indian boy and various zoo animals. It's actually a great book and I won't ruin it for you.

15. The Spirit - Directed by Frank Millar about a the Will Eisner created comic.

16. World War Z - A documentary style flix taking place after a zombie infestation.

17. The Punisher II - Titled War Journal. Doesn't have Thomas Jane and no one should expect to be entertained.

18. Barbarella - Robert Rodriguez is directing this remake of a weird classic sci-fi film. Set to star Rose McGowan.

19. Gears of War - Based on the popular video game...the one you used to play on X-box 360 before Halo 3 was out.

20. Star Trek - The J.J. Abrams film with a young Spock and Kirk.
