If you want to know “why movies suck,” read the new book, “Writing Movies for Fun and Profit.” What? You are too busy to read B.S. put out by Hollywood flakes.  (This is exactly what I said.) Here are the main points as told by Kyle Smith of the New York Post.

#1 – There is too much money chasing too few deals: “Hollywood is happy to cash checks from Greenwich [hedgefund] horn dogs who want to meet Anna Faris. So way too many movies get made.”

#2 – Originality gets you fired: “Studio executives aren’t worrying about how to make good movies. They’re worrying about how not to get fired and if they make a movie just like some other movie they can say, “It worked before. Who knew it wouldn’t work again? Can I please stay in this nice comfy office?”

#3 – The customer is always right: “If the crowds demand cinematic Funyuns, someone is going to produce them and get rich in the process. Greed is inseparable from taste.”

Hate to be that guy, but when reading the Kyle Smith quotes above, don’t you think of commercial real estate investors?  Like, can you imagine 15 bids for a 4.2% cap rate multifamily asset that’s ho hum but everyone is buying these deals and the money source will never complain about multifamily? Yep, sounds identical, although we never get to meet Anna Faris!
