Thanks, Vardis. I'm only trying to imagine a better world -- where the movies that are made are actually the movies we'd like to watch.

"Ã¢â‚¬Â¦actors donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t really make movies. Writers, directors, and producers (in reverse order) do."

This may be a truism, but another one is "Snatch Adams" could fuck up any of the aboves' wet dream. The guy shoulda stuck with standup and possibly sit-com turf. You only wish Al Pacino would have grabbed this guy and beat the snot outa him 20 years ago--aaaah the torture never stops.

Yah, the movie looks awful. And you nail it here: You, me, Bobby DeNiro, Steve Martin, Dusty Hoffman, we all used to be somebody. But we got rich, and our shit got soft, and our edge got as dull as a Republican housewifeÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s brain. If all these actors had died young, I could pretend that the reason new movies sucked would be due to the fact that the talented people were gone. But they're not. They're still here. They're just doing bad work.

On the other hand...actors don't really make movies. Writers, directors, and producers (in reverse order) do. So the real question might be, where are the Goldmans, Coppolas, and Evanses? As long as Hollywood wants more Michael Bays, and hires all the USC film school grads who are geniuses about production design but morons about writing and acting, we'll keep getting these movies. To put it politely, oy.
