More than a month; lack of time.

Wow! Almost two months has past and we even haven’t noticed it. That’s how is modern life. A lot of college work and job consuming all your energy, plus other projects more important than this blog plus a desire of not spending so much time in front of the computer during our free time. But we are back. Not with news, not with criticism to the film, not with fanboy flame. This time we are here to complain a bit more about the hollywood adaptation fever.

From time to time we watch heck of good films! Or we read about awesome scripts and plots. We get excited, we get eager. But in the end we get frustrated… Frustrated because we discover that this astonishing film is just another adaptation. And what is the problem of it being one adaptation? Does it make the film worse?  No, it does not. So, why we complain you ask yourself? It is quite simple, visitors.

As we already told you all before, we want to see new things. We don’t want to read “Based on” / “Inspired by”. Why? Because  we believe that is quite a frustration to imagine that no one is capble to write an entire new film. One that isn’t a sequel, or isn’t an adaptation. Is quite frustrating to think that Children of Men, an incredible good and well done film, is based on a book. Simply because you get involved, you really dive into its idea, you wonder and say proudly to yourself “at last a creative film which isn’t an adaptation!” but then you find out that it is.

And you start to wonder more… “Why eight of the ten most watched films on the cinema are adaptations?”. Is it because producers don’t want to take a risk in something without a previously audience?  Or are the writers lacking of  good new ideas?

We are not saying  adaptations cannot exist on the big screen, rather, we are just amused by the amount of these kind of films. And another one coming from the new niche – the comics – is the last thing we want.
