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.

The slump, now three years running, prompts the industry to ask: 'What's wrong with the movies?' They'd be better off asking "What's right?"

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.

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.

They're making a movie called "King Kong"? How does it end? I love surprises.

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.

"and, perhaps, decreased enjoyment of the movie-house experience because of unruly audiences"
Bingo!
The last movie I was to you couldn't hear the damned dialog with the high volume conversations and yelling going on in the audience. I thought I was in a football stadium. I marveled at how inconsiderate people could be.

nothing wrong with the "movies" - hollywood's technical movie-making prowess never ceases to amaze me.
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.

The slump, now three years running, prompts the industry to ask: 'What's wrong with the movies?' IMHO,
no originality
too much violence
too much immorality
too high ticket prices
bend over concession stand prices
NETFLIX
movies on demand
too many computer enhanced effects
for starters.
FYI, haven't been in a movie theater since 2002. Why bother?

The reality is that I will not go to a movie, none at all, that are left wing indoctrination or has one of the "movie stars turn political activist" in them.
I will not spend my money on movie stars that hate america. I will not spend money on movie stars that speak with hypocritical abandon.
Sorry, hollywood.

Personally my favorite pick for the Oscars this year is "Broke-Back Ticket Office". If they can't clean up their act, I hope a number of the Hollyweird elite go belly up, the sooner the better!

The news media who cover the movie industry can't or won't connect the dots between the obscene, public anti-Americanism displayed by Hollywood and the slump in ticket sales. More than half the country voted for Bush twice. Insulting Bush is insulting a huge hunk of the U.S. market. These over-paid jackasses don't understand that acting talent--something a lot of fraud artists master--does not equate to a superior intellect.

They just haven't came out with much I wanted to see this year. Also, it's not a problem for my husband but I don't like to go to movies, no matter how good, that have actors/actresses that I don't like in them. In other words, if a star promotes an agenda that I'm morally against, I don't just forget about that when a movie comes out.
