This is an unfortunate rant…………….
Has anyone else noticed the state of modern entertainment reporting? The Ain’t it Pathetic News syndrome is what I happen to name it. Everything now is based on speculation. “If this would have happened then that would have occurred.”
Really?
Did it happen?
No.
Then who cares?
Honestly, who cares.
If it didn’t happen then it didn’t happen. Since when is reporting based upon speculation and innuendo? My gosh, this fanboy crap is becoming simply nauseating.
Before, these type of speculative articles were reserved for the AICN, kids’ basements, and other such web sites. Now, it has permeated legitimate news sites. Case in point: the reason for my rant, the “Ho
w ‘Dune’ almost prevented ‘Star Wars’ from ever being” on the Fox News page.
Really, this is news?
Again, what crap. And, the saddest thing is to think that an editor green lighted such a turd of a story.
Under the premise of a Cannes film festival documentary we get an entire article/documentary based upon ‘what if?’, “Jodorowsky’s Dune”.
Apparently this entire documentary is a big ‘could have been’ story on a failed attempt at making a movie based upon Frank Herbert’s classic Sci-Fi novel.
Again, who cares?
I’m sure that there are many movies that get to the stage of ‘almost’ and then get shelved. Thankfully. However, again, I ask, is this really news?
It’s just my opinion I guess, but I say no. Instead, if I want to speculate on what ifs and wouldn’t it be cools I’ll just buy a pizza, and some soda and invite my sons, nephews, nieces, and their friends and talk about such things.
Who knows, maybe we’ll be so insightful that we’ll start our own cable access/podcast show.
Now, wouldn’t that be cool?
