This is my take on why people don't want to go see movies at there local theater and rather rent it in the comfort of there own home: If you have heard a political radio station lately (yes, they do discuss this) than you'll know they have been talking about this. The box office has taken a punch in the income profits. If you haven't noticed, not as many people are going to the theater to see films as they used to in the past years. I feel the need (or want. however you take it) to discuss why I think this might be (and why it is for myself). For one thing, the prices are so high, and with all the productions that have been coming out lately (more on that later) people plain just rather pay $3 or a bit more to rent a film than about $9 at times (sometimes less), not including all the pricey food, to see a film they'll probably end up hating or just getting bored with. Now than, to make this shorter here we go. This in a nutshell. What the hell is the 'big hollywood business' thinking with all these weak plots? I mean, it's either things that are quite identical to things we've already seen or some boring, noncreative plotline that isn't worth seeing. What is with all these remakes? Are people running out of ideals? That's what I like about Indie films. They are unique and creative and something different from other big production crap. Now, let me see. 'Dukes of Hazzard' might seem grand to some of you, but in my eye it seems like a rip off to the classic show and not that entertaining. There are some comedies that just go for cheap laughs. It's tiring to see films practically begging for laughter when they are barely funny at all. Just idiotic. The chickflicks a horrid, and just sappy. Drama and romance need a bit of a reality check. I could write on about this (with a great critical viewpoint on this whole issue) but I'm really running out of time. :( In otherwords, hollywood, get a life! -Hana
