It's so much easier and comfortable to watch a movie in your living room. Perhaps the theaters will go the way of the drive-ins.
They'd be better off asking "What's right?"
"It's so much easier and comfortable to watch a movie in your living room."
Yeah, but you end up with a lot of chewed gum underneath your furniture...yuck!
I went to Blockbuster today to pick up disks. Hitch was one of them and I have to say that Will Smith is no Cary Grant. The movies suck. Pass it on.
D) All of the above.
Or perhaps we're just sick and tired of the political message we've been receiving from the movie industry.
Kong has made it's roduction budget back domestic and foreign distribution. It should be good for another 100 mill or so., It was a needless indulgence for the director and I can't recommend it unless you like fights with dinosaurs and large insects.
I agree, my wife and I were talking this week about comedies this year and came to the conclusion that they all sucked.
They're making a movie called "King Kong"? How does it end? I love surprises.
Yeah, "The Passion of The Christ" made Mel a sizable chunk. Others may want to research what sells.
Right, right, right, right and right. Oh,and one other thing - It's the lousy content Stupid!
Maybe Hollywood should ask itself, "Why do they hate us?"
I agreed with the statments about the changes in viewing habits. I don't believe it is so much a matter of falling sales, as it is a change in the source of revenue. I expect that one day movie theaters will be as much a relic as drive ins are today. Home theater is the future.
You're probably just too male to appreciate the movie. I watched it with my wife and oldest daughter. I fought to stay awake, and they talked about it for days.
the problem is what they put *into* the movies along with the inane pontification from the clueless, artless communist low-life that pass themselves off as actors, producers, writers that make up hollywood.
if hollywood wants to be a communist tool to push the agenda of antonio gramsci, that is their perogative, just as it is mine to boycott them and try to convince my friends to do the same.
personally, my goal is to avoid seeing *any* movies in theaters, although i yield occasionally to the movies my kids insist on seeing (the incredibles, nemo and a very few others)
Perhaps if Hollywood made at least *some* movies which didn't read like a DNC talking points memo - set to a flaming homosexual agenda - they wouldn't keep losing half their potential audience.
Just trying to help.
I mean, I'm totally fine with not going to movies (ever) - just explaining why I don't.
From the producers and directors to the actors to the critics and distributors, they all want to cram a political agenda down our throats.
The whole industry has to be in Synch to get the brokeback viewer results they want. Don't believe that, then watch the weekly movie critics analyze Fahrenheit 9-11 like a normal agenda free movie.
They make me sick.
