OT: Why are TV studios so stupid?

Robin, Witch Hunter is awesome.

That is all.

Hollywood plays it safe, they'll only make movies that traditionally make money or movies with big, safe names attached.

Look at the Matrix films or Blair Witch films.


On the other hand, Japan seems to churn out film after film without any regaurds to film quality (often story quality is brilliantly good, but production values are left to be desired).

They we have the infamous bollywood out of India, which has gotten better in recent years, but has all the traditional horrors of indian film such as the music number during a car chase, over the top acting, and lines no mortal would be caught saying. Their production values are raising there, all they need is some qualified film editors.

But back to hollywood, what they need most of all is an end of the endless (and often mindless) consultants and some budget-minded directors and producers.

I admit, I have yet to see any Bollywood film. The closest is 'Bend it like Beckham' Otherwise... the glimpses I've caught from TV's playing in Indian grocery stores scare me well away

Consider yourself lucky.

I just watched what passes for a horror film in india. My brain now hurts.
