FUCK STALLONE, BRAFF, AND SPIKE LEE..................FUCK HOLLYWOOD HARD
I have said this before but I think I am going to say it again, FUCK HOLLYWOOD and fuck it hard. The latest piece of shit to jump on the kickstarter bandwagon is Sylvester Stallone, he is seeking an additional $250,000 because an investor in a project of his fell out. Unless this fucking asshole spent all his money on botox and steroids there's no reason why he can't put the money up himself. Im sick and tired of stars with means and connections jumping on kickstarter, taking the playing field and fucking destroying it.
Zach Braff, a millionaire, did not want to put up his money to make another film, apparently neither does that little bitch Spike Lee, or the world's favorite mass of old man muscle Stallone. When are upstarts like myself and others going to have a chance? Apparently never. It's hard enough to raise money without celebrities taking center stage. The very ignorant providing these celebrities with money don't seem to understand that their contribution means nothing to these guys. These assholes won't give you a shout out any time soon. These guys are fucking bullies that could give a shit about anyone but themselves.
Someone needs to create a fucking movement to boycott kickstarter until a rule is put in place to ban celebrities from seeking funding for projects that they can fund through other means. Oh wait, I guess a lot of the simple minded idiots giving money to these fuckers don't understand the unspoken Hollywood rule, the " you never use your own bread" rule. Wake the fuck up people, these assholes are all about taking without giving back. Charity to these fuckers is a massive tax write off. Fuck them, their projects, and the idiots helping fund them. I hope they will take a page from Kevin Smith's book, he won't go through kickstarter because he has his own money. This is the kind of thing that makes me think the world is worst off than we thought.

HOLLYWOOD IS SO DESPERATE IT NEEDS THREE OLD PEOPLE TO SAVE IT
I think that the fact that Hollywood has a place for three fossils like Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Willis reflects the poor state of the film industry today. The three actors have each made the same movie at least twenty times over. Don't get me wrong I was a fan of Rocky, The Terminator, and Die Hard when I was between the ages of eight and twelve and at that time it seemed like these guys could do no wrong. The truth is that no one is perfect and that at the end of the day Stop or my Mom Will Shoot, Last Action Hero, Color of Night, and Planet Hollywood restaurants all had to happen to prove that vulnerability is something that's less than foreign to everyone.
Sylvester Stallone came back looking like a piece of bread with one too many shots of human growth hormone while Schwarzenegger came back fat and depressed over the fact that he was a failure as Governor and he was found out as a man who would cheat on his wife with anything that had tits on it. Bruce Willis is the only person that has come back looking relatively respectable especially when you consider he has stayed fairly active.
I still think that the state of film at least here in the US is depressed at best. Every movie looks the same and requires a ridiculous budget that rarely gets covered at the box office. There are no longer actors that can really carry a movie like in previous decades when singular performances and story lines were so strong that you knew you wanted to watch a certain film because you were drawn in by something special in the previews.
I won't say that there are no good performances but it's characters, effects, and pre existing story curiosity that draws people in. The three old guys could come back simply because their styles took a long enough rest to come back and seem fresh to the newer and more grown audience. Like everything in life entertainment is cyclical so these guys are likely to go back on ice when the next inexplicable epic comes out but until then let's enjoy witnessing the Metamucil Mercenaries light up the screen.
