For a long time, Hollywood, California has been making films ever since the 1920’s. Motion picture arts has captured the lives of millions around the globe. In many cases, they have thrived on theory and criticism. High budget distributors and production companies have compiled adaptations of novels, novellas, comics, short stories and even already made suitable animations into reality. Tim Burton already has the corner marketed on that issue a dozen times in the films he has done. Taking from already made films, from years ago into this distinct era adding actors to fit in the role, has made a nourishing motive. To find key elements in movie making is very easy or difficult to do depending on how it is written to be. The expense in the acting dialogue and even the length of time it takes for the process to be done behind the scenes. Revolving around all that needs to be added, changed, tweaked, edited, or CGI enhanced, it is a process that takes years worth of the time to be included.
All films that are written to the expensive plot outcomes through action dialogue are the most of the producers and directors worries. The actors are getting paid to a minimal expense but according to the others that they are working with on set, doesn’t seem so fair enough. Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst really took it out amongst each other in Spider-Man 3 where they never got along. She was making more of a budget than him. The sequels are another problem and idea for a big blockbuster in order for the film corporations to sit back and relax with the lump sum of money that they have from making and distributing those franchise of films. This is getting way out of control where criticism on these films are either getting poor or decent reviews. Not everything has to end in three’s. Robert Zemeckis only had that opportunity to do that with the Back To The Future films in the 1980s because it was not only budgeting but affordable. Even old films are coming back to be continued like the Terminator films. That is pretty much perspective written all over it. The “Alien” and “Predator” franchise are loosing percentage through the IMDB.
The writers has their chance to fight through the Writers Strike for over two years and are yearning and in desperation to get originals out. Thanks to Sam Raimi for making the writers seem a little less of a burden with his original horror project, “Drag Me To Hell” that made all feel quite warm in their hearts who enjoy writing in that genre. That boosted in popularity and very little are pushing themselves toward that goal with directors that would give in for their own financial and economic needs. Writers all around are also part of the hurt economy and feel that they need more attention to keep their work satisfied and in perfect condition. The writers strike has been over for some time but are still in less stages of complying with those who can help them keep a contract and to thrive in which they are supposed to be in their distinct field of study when it comes to Hollywood, California.
Ending in either 3’s or 4’s, most of the population of producers and script agencies are hungry for those franchises to end in those numbers. There have to be better reasons to keep the film industry from loosing on originals that started it out from the very beginning of its era. The entertainment industry is hurting and needs more from those who can gain talent through writing and acting. Screenwriters push everyday to get their work published and out there in their name but when it comes to those who think they can write over those other screenwriters work is uncontrollable and can bring danger to a legalized entertainment law court room. This has been done throughout these years and none of the original writers have ever gained credibility back. Since ethics have been a part of life ever since the ancient Greeks, these corporate owners, distributors, producers and directors should keep in mind before having someone else rewrite over some other screenwriters work. Like through the internet, pirating films are at minimal possibilities these days. So is stealing a screenwriters work and rewriting or editing over theirs without giving any possible financial sustainability back.
It’s brutal in the film industry but to subtract exaggeration out of the picture of many franchises, like the Harry Potter films are getting too over laid or lame. These budgetary cutbacks these companies make are not being put to good use towards original pieces of work that these producers can get their hands on afterwards. Whether it could be a blockbuster or an original, it has to be accounted for through the laws of the entertainment industry. So many calls do make a film to turn out to be placed accordingly through art and talent, but there is only one slight mistake that can ruin it. That’s taking away someone’s financial credibility. In Lamen’s term, the blockbusters will have to be minimal and the originals has to be reaching at its highest peak all over again. They are slowly reaching little by little as time moves on. Through the habit of other directors and producers is a slow process. When it comes to the actors writing their own original films, they are getting away from their own financial crisis in the economy. Other screenwriters can’t catch up to them but they can reach out connecting with others in the largest bee’s nest of the film industry. Greatly furnished, films that have got out there talk about the reality about films in a fictional story that describes about them as so like, “Tropic Thunder” and the latest film coming out in September, “The Bluetooth Virgin.” This could mean more education to those who are still in a financial and economic crisis who can’t afford the schooling or college funds for their film careers but are able to catch a glimpse of it through the light at the other end of the tunnel.

Matt, try to go back over this and do some editing, make paragraphs, check grammar, please. What is your main idea? It seems you have several points. When you say "loosing," what do you mean by that? You may have more than one article here all together in one. Let me know when you have a more cohesive piece and I will post it on the front page. In the meantime, we will keep this up as a blog. Thanks. Once you do that, by the way, I can do a final edit, or try to, as well.

Thanks!
