Author Topic: Skipping the movie theater altogether? Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-17-2010 12:33 PM                     I say: Let it fail. Then let the backlash begin. This is what happened when Hollywood underestimated the impact of Television, suburbia and the "teenage" revolution. They went down in flames and then...change occurred... ...and that's how we got JAWS...and blockbusters... ...and that's how we got greedy interest from the corporate sector... ...and THAT'S how we got HERE! Maybe it's just time to reboot!  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 12-03-2010 01:36 PM                     Right on Manny. Now we need to just sit back and enjoy the carnage.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

America could screw itself out of its most high profile creative businesses.  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-04-2010 06:04 AM                        Greedy corporate interest? Ha ha ... yeah ... back in the glory days, they didn't make movies for profit. It was all about the "art".  |  IP: Logged
