I decided NOT to pay the money to go to the movies because I'm tired of the clowns that act in the movies thinking they are smarter than our President....they might thing slime clinton is great, but I don't and WON'T pay to line their pockets, and I know alot of people that feel the same way....
When they decide to go back to 'acting' and leave politics alone, then I might think about it...
I had the pleasure of seeing/hearing Mr. Tony Bennett live in concert a week or so ago.
Proof positive that the "Creative Community" is capable of turning out quality product WITHOUT bashing us over the heads with its politics.
I stopped going to movies about 25 years ago (go only on rare occassions).. I grew tired of the slop these mindless idiots put out...I also don't didn't want to give my money to air-headed liberals pushing agendas
HOWEVER, I believe the biggest reason for the drop in attendance is DVD, DVD copies, large screen TV's, surround sound systems, etc.
I wish it were due primarily to disgust with left wing Hollywood, and some of it is, but I think it has more to do with convenience and cost.
You got one right here. I refuse to see any movie that has any association with George CLooney, Ed Asner, Susan Sarandon, any of the Baldwins, Meathead, or any of the rest of the Bush bashers. I don't care how good the movie is supposed to be. I've had enough of the useful idiots in the Hollyweird crowd.
I've taken that a step further, no cable or satelite either & I rarely watch air broadcast tv.
Have you seen "The Great Raid", totally awesome movie!!!!! It wasn't released in hardly any theatres, because of its Pro American theme, it is out on DVD now.
ABC CBS NBC CNN its all the SAME, Propaganda.
Might as well call them all AmeriJazerra.
Show them how much Gravitas Hugh Bris has. Vote with your remote! Shut down the Alphabet channels.

I agree with this. I don't really care so much that they disagreed with the President because I often do too especially on the issues of Federal spending and immigration. But the Hollywood crowd went way beyond disagreeing to down right anti-American and seditious. Many are also on the wrong side of the culture wars and I refuse to support their decadence. There is little forgiveness in me for these offenses and there are a lot of the actors who I can no longer stomach seeing their face even on free TV. I certainly will not pay to see them. This seems to be an ever expanding group. The latest is Heath Ledger who I used to kind of like but after his role in Buttcrack Mount'n is forever banned from my TV screen.
A couple other things are influencing my movie viewing behavior. First, the movie offerings stunk. There were very few must see movies in 2005. Second, home theater is getting much better and even if you buy the movies at first release on DVD this works out cheaper than a visit to the theater. I have not yet bought one of the new flat screen TVs (LCD or Plasma) but I intend to buy one after about one more step down the cost curve. I did invest in a really good audio video receiver and surround speaker system and Dolby 5.1 has made even my current TV amazingly better.
Not to mention the idiots in the theatre who think they're watching the movie in their livingrooms & won't keep their mouths shut.
Drives me crazy
I agree. My other reason is the movie makers continue to try to set an agenda and jam it down our and our kids throats like homosexual. Trying to make one think it's just another type of lifestyle that is normal. When in fact is one terrible SICKO lifestyle with the same evil spirits as are part of porn.
When I saw the first advertisements for Munich, I naturally wanted to see it.
After hearing that it drew moral equivalents between the terrorists and the avengers of the victims, I was very disappointed and decided to take a pass.
Nowadays I check out every film to see if I am going to be lectured to by oh so much more intelligent liberals. If the answer is yes, I stay home.
