here's the thing. it used to be that you could take a bad book and make a pretty decent movie, or even a very good movie. or you take a good book and make, also, a good movie, just beware the decrying hoards of readers with expectations. now, nowadays...well

#return on investment means checking off enough boxes on the dopamine hits list to balance out the cutting corners like woah everywhere else #there will never be a movie made like the princess diaries 2 a royal engagement ever again #who needs quality assurance when you've got buzz words #rwrb is the kind of terrible movie that proves studios right about people still tuning in to watch whatever when entirely generated by ai #sorry not to throw shade on meg cabot i meant the movie was a major departure from the books and epitome of tweenage girl wish fulfillment #sugary sweet cotton candy fluff of an era. but also still good and technically competent and everyone could act #also it had a plot #this all seems very inevitable unchecked capitalism wise but i hadn't yet counted on a plot-less movie filled future in my lifetime #feeling bleak #and on the topic of taking things too seriously: how is watching something that bad fun or a 'good time' for anyone??
