I`m in total agreement with you about the whole hollywood running out of idea`s thing, THEY DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING (besides the select few that is) as they give £30 to £40 million to a retarded ape called paul anderson 😠, for that pile of w*nk called cr*pident evil and the script was written by someone who calls himself a fan of the series, well a fan of the series would have put as much effort into writting the best script he could have not some half assed pile of brown smelly stuff that anderson the no talented hack b*st*rd wrote.
They give him stupid amounts of cash (£30/40 mill for RE and now i hear dit was £90 mill for AVP, for f**ksake man it`s stupidity that skidmark has no f**king talent what so ever for serious movies, his are laughable as they are all teen material).
I for one would rather watch a Peter Cushing movie than watch ANY paul anderson muck, i guess when you think about it be it hollywood (mainstream or independent) or british film industry, it depends on who the money is given to and what kind of talent is behind it, Dog Soldiers, 28 Days Later as examples of british talent and hollywood will never better those movies, ever they will come close but they will feel like Final Fantasy 10 (us) compared to Shadow Hearts (british) shadow hearts being more darker and more atmosphere and better story as it isn`t made to appeal to the masses like a lot of hollywood movies are.
I still stand by everything i`ve said before, as you will also 🙂, as i still feel that because it`s got a bigger film industry then they are going to have a bigger selection of talent and scripts and funding and such like, no doubt though amoungst all that there will be a few duds made along the way.
i agree on some of what you`ve said in your post, NONE of peter cushing or christopher lee`s or vincent price`s movies are or were scary at any time, but they have more atmosphere and talent behind them than any paul anderson flick has or will have.
Oh i know about the biggest amount of cash doesn`t mean the best movies, think i dont know this i do as Romero has proven this time and again with his "Dead" series, as has Don Coscarelli with his Phantasm series.
As for Van Helsing well i cant comment on it yet as i`ve yet to see it but i dont care what people think of it as Kate Beckinsale 😍 is in it.
