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.
Our christmas for my hubby and I this year was the DVD and some movies that we both enjoy....next year comes the new T.V.
I did happen to go to a friend's house and watch 'War of the Worlds' on their t.v. and I was impressed with the make over, I don't like Tom Cruise, but the movie was great....they have the surround sound and the whole bit, it was a great night at the 'home movies'
