Eureka!!!

This could be the reason why normally creative people produce movies like "War of the Worlds". (Im still on the copyright issue!! .. read the blog below)

Ages after movies like "Alien", "Predator" and "Independance Day", all that we get from one of the most Creative Directors in Hollywood is a rehash of the same thing.

The movie had nothing new to offer. Nothing exceptional in terms of thought or technology. Its just another "Alien" movie after all.

Its probably one of the reason why we have so much trash thrown at us and also probably why this trash is consumed silently.

I happened to see quite a few movies released recently that i wouldnt want to waste anymore time writing about, than i already have watching them.

If you are reading this, maybe you should ask yourself, is it because everything else is protected and not available for public consumption and you have nothing better to read.
