Actually he's blaming our generation, the video game playing types, for the reason Hollywood movies suck now.

And well...

He's right!

This unsociable, ADHD riddled, uncouth, self-absorbed iGeneration we have today sucks donkey balls and I hate you all!

=P

No really!

Honestly, billy bob thorton is just mad that Mr. Woodcock got horrible reviews. The stress has been building up so long that he went crazy. Obviously every video game is mindless killing with no meaning...

Just out of curiosity, does anyone else notice the r in Death in the link?

Dearth? XD
Dearth is a word that means a lack, as in "Lately we've had a dearth of quality new films."

Whoever is convincing Hollywood to make terrible movies based off of video games needs to stop it, your making Billy Bob Thornton upset.

In all seriousness I think he's just angry that he isn't getting to be in any of these movies because he is a horrible actor and is missing out on the ass load of money those movies make, terrible though they may be.

He's probably right to a point, but here's an idea: stop making movies that cater to the ADD gamer crowd. You aren't going to make a good movie that way. Just make a good movie and hope that the ADD gamer crowd will like it too.

Um, I'm a gamer and hate literally over 90% of all movies made in the last 5 years. If their shitty quality if for my benefit, please stop, and go back to making action movies like Braveheart or Gladiator, thriller/intrigue movies like Fight Club, and comedies like Ace Ventura.

Gotta admit, though, it was still better than regular Pocahontas. Disney should have caught the James Cameron boat on that one.

ah well, i guess not everyone shares my exact taste in movies! nonetheless, i think a man who starred in mr. woodcock, the informers, bad news bears, and a whole slew of mediocre films may have a little credibility problem when blaming other people for terrible films.

And there we have it. /thread

Tune in for next week's episode when gamers will be blamed for the holocaust. (With sneak peeks of the series finale of how gamers will ignite the armageddon!)

No one cares about you anymore Billy. Just accept that. Your final hurrah was that sex scene with Halley Barry.

Its over.
