Forget Hollywood, now it's called "Copywood"

Copywood - the producers, directors and writers who don't have enough talent to do something original, so they copy other people's work.  That's what they seem to be now, not Hollywood, but Copywood.

Now, they are plans to make a Copywood version of  the Lethal Weapon movies.  Just a lack of talent and originality.

List of Copywood productions

The Italian Job

The original is one of my favourite movies, but I'll never watch the Copywood version.

Battlestar Galactica

Love the original series, but I've seen a little of the Copywood version made in the 'naughties' (first decade of the 21st century).  Nothing can make me watch that; not bamboo slivers under my finger nails or the Chinese water torture.  Nothing; despite the beautiful women!  Even they are nothing compared to Jane Seymour and Laurette Spang.  One woman in the Copywood version seems to be there for no reason than her chest (not a bad reason, but no reason for the show).

 Ocean's Eleven

The original movie was great - Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jnr etc, but I've not seen the Copywood version.  I have seen Ocean's Twelve and Thirteen and thought they were good movies, but not the Copywood movie.

Thomas Crown Affair

 The original is one of my favourite movies, but I'll never watch the Copywood version.
