are our standards now being defined by the industry hellbent on spoon-feeding us this shit?
What do you mean "now"? Anyway, most of the movies are crap, so is most of the music, books etc. Clearly there's a demand for fluffy daydreams, whether it's sex and romance in Manhattan or being a space-soldier fighting alien mutants ;)
I like the more substantial movies just as well, but I wouldn't want to watch ONLY those. I'm also gonna see SATC2, and I expect I'll enjoy it :cheeky:

Scene 1: (Fade In on a morning sky in the city, dramatic music slowly building)
A van (one much resembling the Mystery Machine) pulls up in front of a crowd of photographers standing outside the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Flashbulbs start popping as the sliding door opens. At first, only vague outlines of figures are visible. Then, the girls emerge amid the chaos of flashes and shouted adoration.
The girls stand waving and flaunting their goods.
(music shift, more ominous)
Carrie senses that something in wrong, her ears perked and flicking. The camera follows her as she pans the crowd, finally she sees him--HIM! Her arms spread as she mouths a long, long, long, no to the other girls. Within an instant, the van explodes, sending bits of shrapnel and carnage flying (effect #1 for 3D crowd). The blast radius annihilates most of New Yorks journalistic finest and levels the Ritz-Carlton.
We are left with the blare of sirens, the smoking rubble, and Carries twitching, bejeweled hand poking out from underneath the hotel's sign.
(Fade Out)
Scene 2: (Abrupt shift, interior of a bar)
Sergeant Martin Price sits in solace, pounding back yet another shot, watching the events of the morning unfold on the television screen mounted in the upper corner of the bar. He's a black man in a white man's world who has seen too much--way too much. His eyes slowly shift from the television as he hears the noise of the bar's door opening, falling on the FBI agents. He's been waiting for this, knowing they would come for him even though he no longer cares.
Agent 1: Are you Price?
Price nods.
Agent 2: Gather your badge, soldier, bad guys are threatening mother America.
Price looks thoughtfully at his shot glass, before turning it upside and slamming it on the table. In the background dethtoll can be seen playing Duke Nukem while sitting on Queue's lap. Queue is stroking his hair lovingly.
Price: This shit just got real.
(Wipe out)

...and that's just ridiculous, Scots. That'd be like retelling Twilight from Edward's perspective.

The industry isn't hellbent on anything but making money. They make shit like this because the audiece buys it. We are the generation that bought more shoes and we get what we deserve, and such.

Judging from the reviews, I'm pretty sure Sex and the City 2 is this year's Transformers 2, only for a different demographic. Horrendously overlong and selfindulgent? Check. No narrative arc whatsoever? Check. Racism? Check. Caricatures instead of characters? Check. Universal critical derision? Check. Horrendous portrayal of female characters? Check. Will make more money than god? Check.
The only difference seems to be in that it contains gratuitous shoes rather than explosions.

Morte, blah blah. I also enjoyed Doom, Max Payne and AvP movies, remember? :joke:
Anyway, if Avatar was competing for best movie Oscar, I'd say also the People Who Are Supposed To Know buy any crap these days.
