Gileo Productions Presents...

I thank you for your emails! 

Responders have resoundingly agreed with me on the lack of quality of today's American films.  Most do not let that stop them from going to the movies as often as they usually do, although many of you have said that the frequency of your attendance is less than in years past.  As far as your tastes in films as well as other entertainment - your responses were about as diverse as possible.

Generally you did not object to sequels, prequels as much as you did to remakes.  I agree with you that some of the remakes of the last half dozen years or so have been - in some cases - of poor original films.  Not only did most of you not mind adaptations, over half the respondents expressed curiosity to view the original film or TV program.  The frequency of the same actors showing up on screen also bothered about a third of you, but as with most of my "Questions" - so long as the quality of the films are high, you all did not really mind.

Your requests to producers most often reflected the desire for new, less predictable storylines.  You have strong desires to see foreign films.  Those of you who often view foreign films admit that on few occasions, you pass on foreign films for not wanting to read subtitles.  I'll personally have to agree with you on that point - sometimes, I just don't feel like reading a film either - especially after a long work-week.  Most of you did not want to see short films before features, but would not object to short film programs being offered at your local cinema.  Objections to what is shown before features included commercials and too many previews.

Thank you once again for your responses.  If you wish to respond, please email me at: LGMench@optonline.net, LGMench@BetterFlicks.com, or go to the CONTACT US page of this website.
