Did you ever see "Jeepers Creepers"?
I was screaming
RUN OVER HIM AGAIN
RUN OVER HIM AGAIN ;P
LOL!
Are you sure were not related?
We are now long lost FR-sisters ;P
Did you watch House of Wax?
Let me sleep on it.
It's really simple. The technology has improved to the point where people don't see the added value over watching the movie in their home. Find a way to sell the movie at a theatre price to people in their homes.
In my case, it is too much trouble to try and locate a babysitter so I can go to a theatre. It's much easier just to wait until it comes out on DVD. That said, I would gladly pay $20 for my wife and I to be able to legally watch a first-run movie at home.
I was reading Entertainment Weekly's 2006 preview issue yesterday, and for the first time perhaps ever, there's not a single new movie, television show or cd that I'm excited about. The Da Vinci Code with a woefully miscast Tom Hanks? Yawn. Mission Impossible III with the couch-jumping Scientologist? Hahaha, right. Oliver Stone's take on 9/11? Not if you friggin' paid me. Plus, it's an election year, so celebrities will be unable to keep themselves from injecting their opinions on foreign policy, hysterically, whenever they can. I see the box office definitely going further downhill.
That was funny.
