What for-profit industry starts out by dissing over half their potential customer base? Hollyweird of course. The leftists forget who pays their big salaries and it's the customers. Piss them off and they don't buy your product.
"It's crude and sexual, but "The Wedding Crashers" is the funniest movie I've seen in years!"
That's a shame - I would like it I'm sure were it not for the fact that I still am boycotting Hollywhat.
Methinks movie sales are weakening because of Plasma screen TVs, surround sound speakers, and DVDs. Who needs to go to a theater when you've got one in your own home? In turn, DVD sales are weakening because of services like Netflix. Why pay $20+ for a newly release DVD, when you can rent it whenever you want. I've about stopped buying DVDs, as I rarely watch many of the ones I own.
And that's during the opening previews.
Just watched the DVD of Hotel Rwanda. That was good. Of course, it was pro-Christian, anti-Clinton & not Hollywood.
Movies? Just say NO NO NO. Stay away and save your $$$$. PERIOD! Too much junko vids, advertisements, high ticket and concession prices and little value. Boycott all of Hollyweird movies except any quality classics-like material which is almost non-existent. Hit em where it hurts...they will get the message soon enough!

MEL's -PASSION- sparked by -WE WERE SOLDIERS-

There's a reason we have the DVD.
I normally don't go to the movies except for great ones like "The Passion" and the LOTR movies but I think I'll be heading out to see The Great Raid this weekend. The ten anti-America/pro-terrorist movies listed above that Rush was talking about will be on my "forgetaboutit" list.
Cinderella Man was decent. Seems Ron Howard makes a good movie. His Movie on Howard Hughes was good also
And anti UN.
There are some terrific stories to tell about our soldiers' heroism in Afghanistan and Iraq and someone needs to tell them. I'm looking forward to the story of the battle of Fallujah that Fox will have on this Sat. night, I think. We need to support the movies that support our troups.
The only thing I really like about a movie theater is their popcorn, you just can't make it the same way at home!
Agreed! If I had cable (I don't like supporting artificial monopolies), I'd be watching...
They pump out the same old sludge and wonder why we won't buy it. Fascinating.
Home theaters are not as good as a THX theater yet. You'd have to spend at least 100K to set up something as nice - and have the space to do it properly.
Preaching to the choir. I have not attended a movie other than a few for my kids in about 5 years. I tell everyone who will listen to stop supporting people who would just as soon see you and your family relegated to poverty while they live their aristocratic lifestyle using all the precious resources they so desperately want to keep you from. It makes me sick that so many people can't see the blatant hypocrisy and agenda of these high school dropouts.
I will definitely see "The Great Raid."
Somebody recommended buying the DVD of the British show "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" instead of seeing the new movie. They were right. Not a big budget but it stayed faithful to Adamses story and lines, which is what makes it funny and interesting, the whole point of the stories. Read transcripts and saw trailers of the new HHGTG and noticed most of the humor was sucked out of it.
Especially anti-UN. Also, anti-Belgian & anti-French.
