I'm so sick of the comic book stuff. I saw Green Lantern and while it was an OK movie, it was nothing but two hours of action - I left with nothing more than that. There are so many outstanding books I have read that would make great movies, but that would mean taking a risk and Hollywierd isn't about taking risks. Just take a look at any "blockbuster" these days, they are hedging their bets by having not just one big name actor, but three or more (as in The Expendables).

I was watching Unforgiven a few weeks ago, what a great movie and if you look at how the westerns have done recently (Open Range, Unforgiven, True Grit - even though it was a remake, etc) I just don't understand why they have to re-hash old material.

If it doesn't have big stars and lots of gratuitous nudity, they are less interested.
