Anime is a superior alternative. There’s something for everybody.

LOL!!

...and I went to see “Dunkirk” this summer, the first time I’ve been to a theater since “Up”.

As for ticket price, $5.50...senior matinee.

Hollywood: “wait, there must be a knockoff, derivarive, reboot that can make money!!”

What depresses me is that Star Wars movies continue to make money even though they gang-rape the original movies AND do it with PC and Star Trek discarded decades of canon.

How long before they reboot Harry Potter and give him a phaser at age 5?

Your acestors were smallpox blanket distributors

Rural residents hump their sisters

The perp? That’s the blue-eyed businessman. Is there a Priest character? Kay, HE did it.

All commerce is thievery.

White people invented NOTHING —all tech and capital is stolen.

The earth is boiling, the worst invention in world history is the combustion engine.

Girls are boys, vice-versa too and shouldn’t you try out some HOMO stuff..?

Religious people are bug-eyed fools with ribbons of drool being blown around from the corner of their mouths, they should be in the corner in wheel-chairs wearing HOCKEY HELMETS.

PS - Enjoy the urban people behind you talking in normal conversational volume for 2 hours

How much if it is due to these self-absorbed actors and writers insulting half their audience?

"No one can fully explain why."

Lots of people know why, but the industry moguls will hide that answer until the bitter end. Which can not come soon enough for me.

Only Hollywood movie I’ve watched in the last two years is “The Founder”

And that was on my flight back from Europe.

Let me see, the one variable it cannot possibly be is the stinking constant Leftist politics of Hollywierd and the increasing public recognition of THAT. /sarc

I have nothing but contempt for Hollywood/media and it’s leftist play actors.

I give those rotten SOB’s as little as humanely possible.

I don’t know why box office tallies remain newsworthy to this day. The media doesn’t trumpet new video game sales by the week, and the video industry dwarfs Hollywood. Maybe culture can no longer keep up with changes. Look at how media still puts things ‘on tape’ when digital replaced video tape long ago.

As an historical aside, when movies became popular in the early twenties, the press wanted to distinguish between ‘legitimate,’ ie, Broadway, performers and movie workers. They tried to push ‘cinemactor,’ but eventually lumped everyone into ‘actor.’

WHY?????????

The writers are idiots and have no imagination and less vocabulary skills than a gorilla.

Actors and actresses can't act their way out of a wet, torn brown paper bag and the mumble!

CGI is NOT a replacement for good writing, good acting, good directing, nor REAL stuff !

Blatant porn/sex is NOT necessary at all!

Photographing movie scenes in the dark NEVER 1) sets the mood 2)makes it "real" 3)makes anything more interesting !

BRING BACK USHERS AND MATRONS TO TELL PEOPLE TO SHUT UP, TURN OFF THE CELL PHONE, AND THROW OUT THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE IN A THEATRE !

Why watch a crummy $13 remake movie where a small drink and popcorn cost another $10, when you can watch something at home for free and make your own food?
