money-grabbing SOBs
There's an article floating around (reference on slashdot) about how Hollywood will go bust real soon now. It's not alone; Jack Valenti has been preaching for ages about how P2P is destroying the movie industry, etc.
I've not been to the cinema in at least a month.
And the last movie I saw was filmed largely on location in Ireland, which puts it on the lower end of the we-paid-money scales. People with money build Ireland rather than filming there.
Not trying to be overly blasé about the whole thing, but, uh, who gives a shit? It's not like Hollywood[tm] has been producing a stream of unflawed brilliance for any length of time now. If the current trend towards waiting for DVDs (and, shudder, watching nasty-ass copies of a movie videotaped at an actual screening) takes hold and forces Hollywood to actually THINK about production and, well, making a movie people want to pay money for, then I'm all for it.
Death of the $thing predicted, film at 11.
