The horror genre gets worse every day, doesn’t it?
We’ve already got a “Friday the 13th” remake coming our way, and now a “Nightmare on Elm Street” reboot is in the works.
I have a feature in the next issue of MovieMaker Magazine about the sorry state of the horror movie. This isn’t a step in the right direction.
I wonder if they’ll invite Robert Englund back into the fold? He’s the main reason to suffer through any of the “Nightmare” sequels. It’s hard to imagine another actor capturing Freddy’s warped personality.
At least the remake will be free of ’80s hair -

Most Hollywood types lean left (duh) and support governmental plans which redistribute money from the rich to the less than rich (double duh).
Just don’t ask them to dig into their own pockets.
Yet that’s exactly what actor Peter Coyote (”E.T.”) is doing. Good luck with that.
Coyote, according to imdb.com, is suggesting A-listers share their paychecks with character actors.
Actors who bring in salaries of $6 million or more should share their good fortune “to lift the pay of actors they are working with,” he says in an open letter to his fellow thespians. Here’s more:
Such a move “would provide the ancillary benefit of insuring that you consistently play opposite actors of the highest caliber.”
Coyote may mean well, but as a character actor he’s indirectly asking for a handout. And if he’s seriously expecting his plan to happen, well … I’ve got a pyramid scheme he needs to hear about.
