I have not watched ABC, NBC or CBS or been to a movie in years. Why...because they do not produce what I enjoy watching. The entertainment industry is the only industry that does not seem to understand that they have to produce what people want to buy in order to be profitable.

I remember an interview with Clint Eastwood where he actually said something like..many of his pictures did not make money but that was okay because he made movies “he” enjoyed and liked to make.

Most every home in America now has it's own theater. With that going for them, if they were making movies WE want to watch, instead of what THEY want us to watch, they would be bigger than the G.D.P..

The British film makers are now leading by the way, they make films like Lord of The Rings, Chronicles of Narnia, and other exciting action films without all the PC BS, or Leftist propaganda. They are blowing Hollywood away.

So, let's just shut up and let the Brits do what they are doing best. Then we can permanently say good riddance to Oliver Stone, Spike Lee, George Clooney and their ilk.

He could say that because unlike almost everyone else in the movie industry, Eastwood is well-known for keeping production costs as low as possible. Remember the movie Mystic River with its all-star cast? Eastwood completed the movie in a amazingly short period and everyone involved with the production were amazed how fast and efficiently he worked on the movie.
