Movie theaters and loan papers
It really seems as if we are going to have a great summer full of original movies this year:
The Honeymooners
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Bewitched
The Longest Yard
Herbie
War of the Worlds
Dukes of Hazard And i'm not sure who sold their soul to the devil for this one, but apparently Miami Vice is a'commin in 2006
With a whole slew of negatives leaning against them, it's nice to see that the tope movie execs have just started taking xanax, as proven by this quote from a yahoo ap article:
"It's more fun to watch a funny movie in a crowded, uproariously laughing audience than it is watching it at home yourself, and given the right physical experience, people will leave their homes and enjoy (movies) in theaters," says Art Levitt, CEO of online ticket retailer Fandango.com. This is the type of vapid idiocy that is helping lead the decline of the movie theater. Perhaps there are other reasons why people don't want to go to see movies, such as: - noisy kids
- poor seating
- cell phones and rude people
- high prices for tickets and condiments
- rehashed crap stories and remakes of things that weren't funny the first time.
- no beer
- movies's straight to dvd w/ 4 months with extra features
- 20 minutes commercials....i mean com'n wtf mate?
- cheaper home theater setups, bigger tv's better sound etc. Perhaps if they weren't paying the stars $40 million dollars (tom cruise, WotW) then perhaps they could drop the prices just a little freakin' bit.

Dude...my wife and I went to see revenge of the sith a couple weeks ago. It was the first movie I'd actually went out to see in a while. We went to this theater that as of a couple years ago was the brand new nice theatre in the area and $@%#@ man..just the cost of the 2 tickets would've been enough to buy the friggin DVD, and then we pay $10 for some #$%^in popcorn and sit down in a completely ghettofied theatre that had worn and torn seating, plastic bags over 20% of the seats, smelled like mold, and had 3 inches of dust hanging off of the ceiling fans...I immediately felt like taking a goddam shower. Then this really fat guy after traversing the majority of the verical part on the statium seating sat down behind us. He had this breathing assistance thing that actually made him sound like goddam darth vader..how appropriate.
Then I decided... for the cost of my wife and I seeing 36 movies I can get one of these:

A 304 inch high definition display on my wall will be just fine by me...cause that wall is in my house, not in a ghetto dirty shithole. And popcorn will be about 700% cheaper.
Sorry for the long post, but you hit a nerve.
