To me, MTV has pretty much become the embodiment of everything that is stupid and witless in our culture. Music Television that doesn’t play music, making shows that highlight the worst and most ignorant in us all… to the point that they GLORIFY stupidity as a virtue (to be fair, they’re not the only ones who do this).
Well, it should come as no surprise that there are rumblings of “The Hills” being turned into a feature film. Our friends over at Cinematical give us this:
MTV reports that according to star Lauren Conrad, it just might happen. Conrad says: “We have kind of talked about it,” with a smile that MTV describes as “we have ABSOLUTELY talked about it.” But really, what could a reality/spoof/whatever the hell it is, do on the big screen? “I think if they were going to do a film of The Hills, they would basically film it like we do the show and they would just edit it into a movie. It would be like a really long episode.” (You can check out the video of this at the link above, but due to the damned Canada ban, I’ve got to stick with the type.)
Has it really gotten that bad? The saddest and most pathetic part about this story is that IF they actually make this Satan Spawn of a movie… that there are people out there who will actually go and see it. Remember, we’re the same culture that made “Meet The Spartans” #1 at the boxoffice.
It’s stuff like this that actually makes me think a mandatory basic intelligence test should be administered to everyone at the age of 18… those that fail are put to sleep. The deal breaker questions would be:
Question #423) Do you watch more than 2 hours of reality tv per week?
Question #93) Did you laugh at any point of Meet The Spartans?
Question #732) Are you excited about the idea of a “The Hills” movie? (An affirmative answer requires immediate lethal injection)
