Just for [livejournal.com profile] trinityvixen...

According to a report I heard on NPR (which makes it true, don't ya know), the reason that the movie industry is not doing well this year is...

*drumroll*

...the movies suck.

That's right, less people will spend money to watch White Chicks than, say, Jaws. Who knew.

Thanks for the update.

You know, this is going to provoke another tangental whinge-fest on my LJ. I can't believe people didn't like White Chicks, too. ::sticks finger down throat::

I have a new theory on top of movies costing too damn much: there are TOO MANY DAMN MOVIES OPENING EVERY WEEKEND. I checked last weekend because nothing seemed to be coming out, and there were no less than three studio movies, with two--TWO!--dumb horror movies just released to make a little cash before going straight to video (strangely enough, my little sister saw one of them, too). I seriously couldn't believe one nothing-weekend in September had that many movies opening then...Three-four a week is manageable, depending on their size and audience appeal, but like seven? No thank you!

Wow! That's frelling brilliant! Why didn't we figure that out?

Oh, wait, that's right, we already DID.
