Big Budget Travesty; A rant in 2D

It looks like the production of The Lone Ranger is back on. Production was halted because of an escalating budget that had grown to $250,000,000. After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, the budget has been reduced to a mere $215,000,000; in part because Depp agreed to a pay cut. What I find dismaying is the need to throw so much money into making a western! I can understand big special effect budges for Transformers, Independence Day, and Killer Clowns From Outer Space, but this is a WESTERN! how much effects do you need for a guy to clutch his chest and fall convincingly to the ground? Oh wait, I almost forgot that Depp can't really fall down in a believable manner. Sadly, the movie will probably make money because of the cool special effects and the fact that Depp has a much bigger name than actual acting ability.

You should really just ignore the whole thing especially after it takes in the cash and you waste money hating on Depp some more :)

I'm afraid you'll go spend money to go see it since it is the Lone Ranger. Then Depp will be sending me messages about you bad mouthing him and I really need that time to nail Tim Burton's wife.

I will download an illegal copy of it so that I can point and say "See, it's even worse than I predicted" and won't have spent a dime on it.

What's the reward for turning in file sharers in the USA? :)

Either a feeling of pretentiousness or guilt. They let you choose. If you're lucky, they RIAA will say 'thank you' before hanging up and never contacting you again.

Actually, history shows that the whistle blower is also charged and convicted on the grounds they had to be doing it to know about it.

Yeah, the RIAA is going to be wondering what you're covering up for, and you can probably expect a lawsuit in about four to six weeks after your phone call.

Oh, do you guys still pretend you're a separate country? Texas does that too sometimes, it's always hilarious.

Mexico figured it out awhile ago. It's not working out too well.
