* Where kids are smarter then their parents.
* Where the moral of a classic story is turned inside out (Chicken Little, any recent Dr. Seuss movie). Moral lessons are important, don’t mock them.
* Where the U.S. armed forces are filled with psychopaths excepting the sensitive soul who is the central character (Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Casualties of War, Apocalypse Now, … nearly every other movie about America’s armed forces since The Green Berets).
* Any movie with the term “Excessive Gore” in the rating description.
* Movies starring attractive actresses who just cannot read a line and emote at the same time; poor dears. Yes, I’m looking at you Jessica Alba and Eva Mendez.
* Cartoons starring people who were picked because they are a “name” and not for any particular talent at voice over. Voice over work should be reserved for the pros, not used to ruin movies.
* Independent movies about young urban despondents in crummy entry level jobs. Get a grip, I know you’re supposed to write what you know, but your life isn’t all that interesting. Geez, take up fire jumping or something before writing your first film.
* The redistribution of any snooty Euro-trash movie with a Golden Palm/Lion/… award.
* Any movie about how empty, un-authentic suburban life is. I live in the suburbs, I like the suburbs. I am not going to go see American Beauty, About Schmidt, etc. to see my lifestyle smugly insulted.
