Further proof that Hollywood hates you and thinks you're an idiot

Last night, I sat through a very earnest and well-intentioned and vaguely uninteresting production that'll soon be showing up on your TeeVee screens (if you can guess what it was based on this description and mention it in the comments section of this blog, I'll probably send you some crappy promotional stuff!). And I thought: This is all well and (nominally) good, but Hollywood executives kind of have a poor opinion of people if they think people can be inspired through insipidness.

And then, I read that they're actually going to make a movie based upon the board game Candy Land. And everything else that I thought was casually cynical about the entertainment industry is suddenly called into question.

Honestly, what good can come of this? Answer: None. No good can come of this. Avoid the rush: Be appalled now.

(And if you can summon the appropriate words to express outrage that money is being poured into this sort of junk in the comments section below, I'll definitely send you some silly TV promotional stuff.)
