Well Tom Cruise’s MI3 came out this Friday along with some disappointed ad execs who were sad to report an opening weekend of $48.025 million. The estimate for total gross from opening weekend was over 10 million more than what was actually accumulated.
Here is where I find things interesting:
The director of the film is “Lost” creator J.J. Abrams. who in my opinion is a terrible person. I realize that I am a hypocrite because I watch “Lost” every week hoping to be entertained, but truthfully this show is as bad as the idea for Tom to publicly release Scientology to the greater mass media and think that the global community will accept it as an acceptable lifestyle choice.
Why is lost the worst show in the history of tv?
Because nothing ever happens! Suspense and a decent base is a total cop out for creative writing. If you watch any popular and successfully show: 24, Prison Break, Sopranos, Big Love, Six Feet Under, Entourage, etc, they are creating a constant level of conflict and then resolving it. Just when you think that the show has peeked or covered all that can become interesting, they twist and suddenly you are hooked again after being relieved of the previous conflict. Brilliance finding new ways to solve an outstandingly difficult situation. THAT in my opinion is good writing and the making for a good show. Sadly Tom, and “Lost” creator J.J. Abrams don’t agree. Well I guess its their loss. An over 10 Million loss that is. Maybe next time the super giant execs of Scientology will think twice before trying to market an alien civilization in the volcano’s of the Hawaii to sell tickets to an old tv remake.
