Movie Ticket Sales Down - Blamed On File Sharing

[Atrocities]

Well we have all heard about it by now, the Supreme Court has ruled that file sharing sites can now be sued, duh, for promoting and or allowing copy written material to be processed through their sites.

Hollywood claims, albeit they have not shown proof, that sales are down this year compared to last year and that it is do to the piracy and file sharing practices of the Internet generation.

I venture to offer a more reasonable explanation for the alleged down turn in movie ticket sales and that is simply, why pay $100.00 to take the family out to see a movie, suffer through thirty minutes of commercials in a crowded over heated theater with rude obnoxious people who talk on their cell phones through the entire movie when you can wait six months and buy the movie for $20.00 on DVD and watch it in the peace and quiet of your own home on your own plasma TV home theater system.

Simply put, going to the movies has become more expensive, almost prohibitively so, and the experience has been tainted by commercials and the cell phone generation of uber rude yuppies.

Why pay $45.00 for two buckets of popcorn, 2 large drinks, and two tickets to see commercials? It just isn't economically sound.

This is why the movie industry is hurting and not because of file sharing sites and Chinese pirated copies of movies with time code and bad video lighting.

Also, perhaps we as an audience want to see more unique and revolutionary movies and not the same old same old rehashed crap that has been constantly filtering out of Hollywood since whenever. Also the fake and misleading advertising blitz that precedes all movies is becoming more and more of a turn off.

The more they hype it, the less you'll like it. People do not like being lied too and after shelling out $100.00 bucks to take the family out to see a movie that has been uber hyped only to be majestically disappointed by it is reason enough for most people to say to hell with going to the movies, I'll just rent it from block buster in six months.

So [censored] you Hollywood, don't ***** to me!
