Why can't movie studios just pack it in with dignity?......

Saw in the paper that Universal is delaying the release of "Fast&Furious 7" from July 2014 to April 2015 because of Paul Walker's untimely death in a car accident. The movie is apparently half-finished, and their going to have to do some serious re-writing and re-shooting to explain Walker's sudden absence. Like Ditka says on "Monday Night Football"- "Come on, Man!"  The F&F movies have grossed something like 2 billion dollars worldwide. Why don't they just say-"Hey-we had a helluva run." "How tragic that one of the two major stars of the series died." "Out of respect for Paul Walker and his family, the project is scrapped." The movie "Frogmen" which starred O.J. Simpson as a Navy Seal trained asassin was never released following his murder trial. That studio had class-because it would have grossed a mint. But apparently greed now takes prescidence over class. Or they could at least scrap the footage and the storyline they had,start over, and open with Brian 'O Connor's murder and have Dominic Torretto and crew spend the rest of the movie avenging his death. That would be somewhat classy. But they never do anything classy, they just want the cash. The 1st "Smokey and the Bandit" was and still is a classic. The 2nd one got stupid with the pregnant elephant, and Buford T. Justices' triplet brothers, etc. Then the producers totally lost their mind and did "Smokey and the Bandit 3" with Jerry Reed and Jackie Gleason, but NO Burt Reynolds!!!  I don't need to say how awful that was. The first two "Die Hard" movies were excellent, the 3rd with Samuel Jackson was ok. Bruce Willis is over 60 now, can we just stop? The last two sucked ass in my opinion. The stories were too far-fetched, and Willis just phoned in his performances. The same with the "Lethal Weapon" series. The first two were magical, the third one with Rene Russo playing Rigg's butt-kicking girlfriend was ok, but the 4th one was awful and unnecessary. This isn't a recent problem. They ran "Death Wish" into the ground with what five or six of them? They only stopped because Charles Bronson died. And again-the original was awesome, number two was pretty good. Then they got stupid the cops recruit Paul Kersey to go after gang-bangers? Puhleeze. And how many times can one guys wives, daughters, girlfriends, co-workers, etc get raped and murdered?  Bronson must have been in tax trouble or something and really needed the money. Remember "Charlie's Angels?" That show was a mega mash. Then Farrah-Fawcett Majors quits in a blaze of glory. They replace her with the sexier Cheryl Ladd, and say she's Jill Monroe's sister. They got away with that, and as long as Cheryl and Jaclyn Smith spent a lot of time barefoot in bikinis, and got chloroformed and tied up once in a while while Kate Jackson and David Doyle raced to save them it was ok. It still had good ratings as teenage boys didn't have internet porn back then. But then Kate Jackson quit and was replaced with the awful Shelly Hack. ( The "Charlie" perfume model ). She wasn't bad-looking, but she was a horrible actress, even by campy t.v show standards. Then they replaced her with Tanya Roberts, who had a smokin body, but was an even worse actress than Shelly Hack. Then they decided to move the detective agency from Los Angeles to Hawaii so they could keep Smith, Ladd and Roberts in bikinis at ALL times. Needless to say it crashed and burned and was mercifully cancelled. I think they've done the same thing with "Sons of Anarchy." I loved it the first few seasons. But jeez, they've gone too far. How many people can one guy kill and get away with it? I mean Jax Teller killed Clay, he killed Tara's stalker ex-boyfriend, he killed some IRA members,he killed Adrienne Barbeau playing their tranny hooker buddies mother. Somebody's going to get this fucker someday-the cops aren't that inept. Jax's mother kills his wife? Come on, even in a show about low-lifes, that pretty much ends it. What are they going to do next season? "Two and a Half Men after Charlie Sheen left?" There's a time to say "We had a helluva run, but it's over." "Let's do something else."  But they won't if they think they can make a nickel. Sad that art or quality entertainment doesn't matter anymore, only cash.  Mastermind
