What I actually DO find interesting is that Mr. Booth's article is one of the few that actually bothered to ask for the various reasons why ticket sales slumped substantially in 2005 compared to 2004--in short, a surprisingly balanced and good article.

Mind you, 2004 was kind of an unusual year for box office revenues because we had these movies draw in a lot of viewers: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (carryover effect from late 2003 release), The Passion of the Christ, Shrek 2, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Spider-Man 2, and The Incredibles. Even Fahrenheit 9/11--despite the fact just about every Freeper hated the movie--contributed to the huge spike in box office ticket sales with US$119 million in box office revenues.

...even more remakes!

Now they're redoing the Pink Panther movies. Is there no originality left?!?

Expensive ticket prices, crappy movies (liberal bias) and the stuck on stupid cell phone idiots.

I much prefer watching an old movie on DVD at home, at least I can pop open a nice cold beer, and not have to listen to a cell phone moron (whose IQs are lower than their shoe size).

They can't blame it on me since I haven't been in a movie theater in 50 years except to build or remodel them when they weren't showing movies.

Why won't Hollywood do the Rick Rescorla story?
