Occupy Hollywood

It’s official. Hollywood has hit an all-time low when the likes of a horror/zombie film director decides to desecrate a timeless literary classic by blasting it with ridiculous action sequences and totally unnecessary 3-D. To see minds young and old are becoming deluded and contaminated by such material is unadulterated sacrilege to our greatest literary works. It is sickening to view a film whose only relation to the book from which it was inspired is the title itself. Such intolerable reinterpretations, revamps, and reimaginings must come to an end. Once, the likes of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings graced the silver screen. Now we must shed a tear as we preview The Three Musketeers and watch as an amazing novel is turned into pure CG drivel. There is something terribly wrong when 1% of the films on the big screen do justice to the books upon which they draw inspiration from, while the other 99% make untold amounts of money off of gratuitous special effects and terrible casting. We will not stand for such refuse to permeate our TV screens, laptops, or iPods. We call upon all directors, producers, and screenwriters to discontinue these horrid and cruel misinterpretations, these disgraceful portrayals of the greatest literary works of mankind. We, as the common people, refuse to purchase Redboxes, attend film screenings, and download Netflix versions of our beloved novels unless they contain an interpretation of those same novels which the authors would be proud of. OCCUPY HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!!!
