Re: OT: Talking-animal movies are ruining my life

[Raffaele Fragapane <jaco(at)thejaco.com>]

I'll happily column up the columnist:

"Our feisty columnist has some advice for Hollywood studio executives"
which to me reads "Our random person with the standard equipment, one 
arsehole and one opinion about everything, who's never in his life seen 
a 450 mills turnaround operation, is now gonna spew some BS for you 
angry readers to feast on"

"Why did you make me sit through “Barnyard,” a movie where a bull with a 
milk-heavy udder played a guitar and sang Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back 
Down?” And why was I expected to take that scene seriously for even one 
second?"
to which my reply can only be "you dolt, you obviously ARE NOT supposed 
to take this seriously"

"And why did my four-year-old and nine-year-old nieces willingly walk 
out of that movie with their mother, unconcerned with how it all ended?"
Because you are probably educating two uptight morons like you are, and 
I can't be angry enough at thinking that my sons/daughter will have to 
endure another generation of critics spawned by righteous twats like you.

"I don’t think you have an answer for that last question, studio pals, 
so I would like to be your guide in the wilderness."
The autho here has clear reminiscences of his past life as Virgilio 
guiding Dante after the dark wilderness to the gates of hell.
I wish he could have stayed in purgatory instead of reincarnating into 
this internet abusing angry man.

"First, you have to stop releasing animated features for about a year. 
Twelve months. Don’t shut down production. Don’t lay anyone off. Just 
take your time with whatever is coming down the pipeline. Obviously you 
haven’t been doing that lately"
Thought about this one long and hard (a whopping 12 seconds), and I just 
can't find something stupid enough to match this comment.
No matter what tools I try, sarcasm, slapstick, hello kitty vibrators, 
this is just beyond the thin film that separates reality from absolute 
twatness.

If we want to discuss the flood of animated features beased on animals 
(which I don't remember as such a negative thing when Disney was 
releasing Dumo, Aristocats, Bambi, Robin Hood, Lion King, or any of the 
other 20 talking animals masterpieces of storytelling) so be it, but 
please, at least lets start it from something with more substance then 
an article where an angry idiot without a clue goes and shits on 
everything, proposing as the only possible solution to world famine and 
cancer that nothing is release for a year while people have a good think 
about stuff (possibly without firing anyone).
