Every Year they record, record profits. Every year they bitch about drop in ticket sales.

I don't mind people being filty rich. That's capitalism. I do resent them bitching about not making enough money. That's bitchism.

I think the journalists are stuck in the 1980's. They've got their perspective and they're sticking to it. Ticket sales mean everything.

80% of any profit now comes after the movies have left the theaters. For most commercial movies, the run in the theater is now like an extended trailer.

I don't think so. They pay their actors and others some of their compensation on the net. If there is no net they keep it all themselves. The trick is to spend all the revenue doen to the wire so there are no profits.

They only count the money. They never let you in on the head count.

I don't want to support those I don't like nor respect nor an artless film industry dedicated to profane exhibitionism and debauchery. Gollywood is pronographic.
