Movies You've Walked Out Of! It's your turn...
MaineWriter:
to make some new rules. Okay, I will admit, I borrowed this idea from another website, but it seemed like something we could have fun with here Chez Tremblay, so let's give this a go...
They blew up Hollywood and the President, Vice President, and Speaker of the Box Office all got killed. In fact, everyone got killed and you are the last (wo)man standing and get picked to run the place. Rubbing your hands with glee, you get ready to institute a few well needed and overdue changes. But wait! Some slightly higher ranking functionary has been found alive in the rubble and you are out of a job. Taking your last five minutes in your presidential role, you quickly dictate as many edicts as you can (in five minutes), with the stipulation that these are LAW....
To get us going, here are a few from my list, and I am talking fast:
1. At least 5 movies per year with Hugh Jackman, naked.
2. At least 10 gay and lesbian romantic comedies, where the main characters end up happily ever after and no one dies.
3. Smoking is banned. Period. I don't care if everyone smoked in the 60s.
4. No prequels, sequels, remakes, or movies based on amusements at Disney theme parks. BBM 2 might be the notable exception. I retain all rights for final script approval, casting, director, etc.
5. A person can go to the movies with $10 and get: 1) a movie ticket; 2) a large beverage; 3) a large popcorn; 4) a box of Milk Duds; and 5) 25 cents left over.
Everyone get the idea? Have fun...

Hm, I do get the idea, but seems like you thought of all the good ones already. Let's see......
Plenty of smart movies about women and men over the age of 40, 60, 80.
A few really good kids movies that are REALLY okay for tiny kids to see, no one gets crushed, maimed, or chopped into pieces for laughs. Characters are courteous, or at least learn how to be over the arc of the movie.
A community cafe area where it's typical that people can gather afterward and talk about the movie.
Heath gets to direct movies he believes in, with the financing he needs.
MaineWriter:
Very good Elle! Especially Heath directing with all the money he needs.
I asked my daughter and she said, "More old fashioned musicals, where people spontaneously sing and dance. And maybe we should spontaneously sing and dance in real life, too."
Others?

ednbarby:
Ooh, I love all these ideas! I especially like the one about the community cafe area in the theater.
A few others:
The following "directors" would be barred from ever making another movie:
Michael Bay
James Cameron
Brett Ratner
Joel Schumaker
The following "writer" would be barred from ever "writing" another screenplay or teleplay:
Paul Haggis
And most important:
The AMPAS would issue a formal apology and an honorary Best Picture Oscar to Dianna Osana and Jim Schamus, along with formal apologies and honorary Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor Oscars to Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. They also would change their voting rules such that ALL members voting for Best Picture would be *required* to screen all five nominees at designated screenings in theaters where they sign in and stay for the entire movie. Then, I could actually watch the awards show again. :)
MaineWriter:
Come on, Barb, let's get creative...like
Paul Haggis should be ground up and fed as shark food to marauding sharks around the Isle of Elba...
Okay, maybe that's a little dramatic but I have no love for that guy in and in "my" Hollywood he is persona non grata...
