They don't know "cowboys" from "sheep herders."

Who cares, the most important things to the pretend crowd is money and patting each other on the back with one hand while stabbing with the other.

Does this idea seem weird to anyone else?

I think it is a good idea. I enjoy watching movies but hate the theater experience. By the time the film comes out on DVD I've heard too many spoilers about it. Home theater systems are the way to go and Hollywood should encourage DVDs by releasing them at the same time as the theatrical release.

Not for the movie theatres I suspect though.

Well, they'll have the opportunity to get all the sucking out of the way at once, instead of dragging it out over months, ending up in those sad little $5.99 bins at WallyWorld.

There are a lot of great movies released pretty much every year, but even more dreck.
