Box office grosses are down 15% from last year. To be expected when Hollywood continues to churn out crappy sequels, reboots, and remakes. Only Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is doing well of the new releases. And not to mention all of the actors who alienated audiences with their political comments.

Following Manchester and other similar mass murder venues, most folks that I know will not go to any large-crowd, soft-target events any more...from a stadium to a local theater complex......even if it were to be a Trump rally where he promises to sing "My Way" and do a soft-shoe at the podium.

This is really going to hurt the pocketbooks of the leftist, liberal, snowflake, mouthy and stupidly-arrogant pop "stars" when they start seeing the numbers in their concert crowds start going down, down, down.

Hah.....for them, what goes around comes around. Good !!!

P.S....I haven't been inside a movie house for twenty years. I just don't like the movies made any more.....and I don't know of any "movie stars" that would turn me on in any way. I don't even know most of the current crop of names except if I see 'em listed on a movie ad on TV. Even with the names I don't know what they look like.

Yet, I love movies, grew up with them...and still love to watch the oldy-goldie and the tried-and true on movie classic TV.

As a nation we do remember, even if we were not born yet...

Thanks to POTUS, our patriotism is up:

Taking time to honor the real heros this weekend.

Such news warms the cockles of my heart.

I think Wonder Woman will more then make up the loss’. Movie theaters are having winder women parties and everything. The movie industry always cries but always pulls through.

When is “Frozen 2” coming out? Disney will make $2 billion on that if it is half as good as the first one — unless they destroy it by adding a dindu or Muslim princess, or making Elsa a dyke.

There was a time when I paid to see a new film almost every week, but somewhere along the line I lost the ability to suspend disbelief for most films.

Whenever I watch a film, I now see a highly paid actor, whose leftist political beliefs are usually well publicized, sporting strategically coiffed hair, obvious makeup, and carefully selected clothing. I don't see the character portrayed.

I couldn't care less how a sneering leftist actor fleshes out a sneering leftist screenwriter's fantasies.

To hell with them and their industry.

Lol! Salt Lake City empties out on Memorial Day (and Labor Day). Masses and masses of RVs heading mainly for Lake Powell. A stupid time to hold a convention or open a supposed summer blockbustet.

My issue with movies lately--CGI. I'd be partial to sci-fi flicks, or action adventure. But every one seems to have CGI with 10000 robots, or aliens or something acting like bugs. While impressive, it is just a giant turnoff to me.

I think they use it to make up for plot weakness. While not my favorite movie by any means, but I think Aliens, circa 1986 or so is great. They use real models to shoot the scenes, not CGI crap. And 30 years later, it still holds up pretty well, and doesn't look overly cheesy.

Nope. Will wait until they hit Exodus to watch anything new from Hollywood.
