They are missing the hobbits now!

It appears that it's time to Pay the Price for past indiscretions towards the country and our President. Lets hope that the RED STATES will punish all those Hollywood types who crossed the line by Bashing our President.

The Hollywood Reporter blames a shorter-than-usual season for some of the drop in income. This year's fall season was one of the more frequently occurring 10-week periods, while the previous two years were both 11-week seasons.

Plus all the movies suck.

Alexander will sink them even further. It's getting BAD reviews. A couple of quotes from one review:

The movie forms a narrative that for a large part, doesn't make sense. And then, an hour later, scenes that should have been present early within the film are added back in to almost no effect.

. . .

I sat next to a VP of a major national theater chain who walked out of the screening, yelled back to the camera person "Jesus, are they trying to kill us? Who thought this piece of s*** would make money? I've got much better things to do."

. . .

This film lays there like an underpaid hooker and never seems to get up.

HOLLYWOOD IS TAKING BEATING AT BOX OFFICE

Give it 3 months and I bet there's a movie made about it....

After a while people just tire of paying $10-15 to be assaulted for 2 hours by vulgarities,murders,incest,and all sorts of deviant behaviors all without decent dialogue or acting talent.Now for that money you can rent an arm load of oldies but goodies that everybody in the family can watch.

When entertainment figures trade on their celebrity status
to make political statements, why would they be surprised
when the audience turns its entertainment dollars into
political statements.

Hollywood is mostly in the business of filling the
screen with lies (fiction) that is biased to support a
philosophy that if achieved, would get the audience
impoverished, enslaved and ultimately killed. We would
want to pay for this precisely why?

Few in Hollywood seem to grasp that what people want are movies they can see with their families. Look at the top 10 grossing movies ever and, as I recall, 9 of the 10 were PG or G...but Hollywood would rather make soft core porn movies or massively bloody, plot-less movies.

Well!! Well!! Well!! Jollywood, They must be Sodomizing each other, hoping to reach a higher plain of understanding to find out why no one wants to see their stupid, disfunctional, ignorant, foulmouthed, gross picture with no talent acting. They tell each other how great they are, that's how they are great!!

I've got movies on tape. Movies that were made when movies were worth watching. I getting so sick of TV and all the commercials, I think I'll join a book club!!

[paudio]

Well, I liked the Incredibles. Quite libertarian movie and surely was anti-PC, IMO.

Polar Express is financed by Steve Bing. He invested about 80 mil on it. So far, the movie has made 53 mil in its 13th day. His other investment: Kerry. Bing gave about 15 mil.

"Hollywood is hurting this season, with overall box-office earnings down . . . "

Maybe they should have spent more time pushing tickets at the ticket box than they did pushing crap down the ballot box.

[baseballfanjm]

If they made more good movies instead of the standard "Summer of the Sequel" we get every year, they'd do better.

Me, I've been taking solace with Netflix. I've discovered Akira Kurosawa's films. He may very well be my favorite live-action film director.

[AnimalLover]

Great news!!

[Bandaneira]

When a persons own life and reality becomes more interesting to them than what they see on the screen the poor quality movies don't have a chance to be seen. Film-making has almost reached its ultimate conclusion. As the saying goes "Pop will eat itself."

[8mmMauser]

When I saw "Shark Tales" I thought oboy Hollywood is jumping the shark!

[SkyPilot]

They could re-release Fahrenheit 9-11?

I know I won't pay for anything with Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Cameron Diaz, Ben Affleck, or a whole host of others. I'm not rewarding anti-Americans with my consumer dollars.

I did buy Passion of the Christ, however.

[BADROTOFINGER]

I managed to break my own vow of supporting comic book movies by missing The Punisher at the theater. After I rented it, I was glad that I did, it was awful. These guys have the reverse Midas touch sometimes, and they seem to make movies that suck in some twisted attempt at commercial appeal. I really dont get it. The Dolph Lundgren Punisher movie was Oscar caliber by comparison...JFK

[PleaseNoMore]

The radio station that I listen to every morning has a Friday movie review done by a local critic. From his comments during the election campaigns, I believe the guy is a liberal. He is usually pretty fair with his critiques of the films he sees. He even said that everything coming out of Hollywood is pure junk.

[LoudRepublicangirl]

Except for the Passion of the Christ I have not paid to go see a movie in a theatre in several years. For Christmas I will just watch my videos of It's Wonderful Life and A Muppet Christmas Carol.
