Hollywood Runs out of Ideas, Part 3

Recently I went to a movie and saw three previews. All three of the movies advertised were just sad rehashed variations of successful films. You could nearly hear the screenwriter pitching the idea to his producer:

  • Mona Lisa Smile: “It’s like Dead Poets Society with women.”
  • Calendar Girls: “It’s like The Full Monty with women.”
  • Big Fish: “It’s an offbeat Forrest Gump for the 21st century.”
