Pop Culture Cuisinart

Yes, it sounds exactly like Madonna's Holiday, much as Paris Hilton's new track closely resembles UB40. I guess they are figuring the preteen fan base of these two wasn't alive during the 80s and thus wouldn't notice. I can't wait to hear what Madonna will say, she's never been one to pass up free publicity. Of course this shouldn't be surprising as entertainment culture doesn't have a single new idea now a days. Look at the recent big movie releases, Poseidon(remake), The Omen(remake), MI3(old TV series and sequel), and The DaVinci Code(novel). Hell, the big movie event this week is based on a comic title that is now 68 years old, that's already been developed by filmmakers 4 times previously. There is definitely room in the pop culture landscape for more original thinking(and no that doesn't mean Tokyo Drift). More films like the 40year old Virgin and less like RV would restore my faith in Hollywood. My blogdom for an original movie idea!
