I'm boycotting Dreamworks

Here's a headline that I found just a moment ago

Film Producer Says More Shreks to Come

-----


Seriously, people need to stop making shitty sequels that AREN'T funny. The first one was good. But then it spawned several knockoffs (Hoodwinks) and two really bad sequels. Just like how some people should never be allowed to have kids, it's time the studio stop.

This is the reason why Dreamworks sucks and is always gonna be behind Pixar. Everything Pixar makes is gold because it has heart. They've made a string of awesome movies. Even the more mediocre ones in Pixar standards (ie A Bug's Life and Cars) are winners if they were put out by any other studio. The key is that they make movies with GOOD STORIES. And they don't kill it with no-plot, single note sequels. Remember Toy Story 2? Yes it was a sequel, but it was DAMN good!

So here's my plea

1) Studios, please have some innovation. I know there's a business imperative, yadi yadi yada.

2) Steven Spielberg, STEP UP! You didn't make a ET2 because you had a backbone. Somethings are just better as a one shot deal. Dreamworks bears your name (the S in Dreamworks SKG). Give it something, even if that backbone is ridden with scoliosis.

3) Parents, please be a bit more discriminating audience. Your three-year-old is not going to give a damn what movie they see, as long as there are talking animals and some song. So don't be the moron that takes them to those movies just because it's released in theaters. You're the ones that's going to suffer through 2 hours of really lame plots and ho-hum drama. Put The Incredibles on loop. Or make them watch more Dora the Explorer. At least they'll learn something valuable.
