once in a while you need to look at the results to see if your actions are having the desired effect. Your personal boycott of "trash" does not seem to be working, in fact there is more "trash" as you would call it than there ever has been. Therefore, it may be time to reexamine and perhaps modify your boycott strategy.

he is only one peson. I agree with him that we should vote against drivel by not supporting it with our dollars. But, like I said in my other post, we must likewise support that which we like by going to see quality movies in their intiial release. So much of the success of a film depends on that.

  I vote with my dollars and I always try to catch good movies in their brief theatrical release. To be honest, this is for my own benefit rather than to send a message. I just enjoy movies more on the big screen than the TV. But as far as a vote for quality, I am afraid I have been outvoted by the vast majority of the world's moviegoers.
  Anyway, I like all kinds of movies. I even went to see Mission Impossible 3, which was an OK way to kill a couple of hours.

    and of course it is for your benefit. It comes around and goes around.

      if I see a movie which will be seen by just a few people and I like it, I try to write a brief description here to do my small part to throw some business its way. As with The Proposition, usually to no response, but at least I tried.

        I've been doing the same, and often there is no response... but you never know, sometimes people will remember the titles. And it is always nice to have someone say he just added it to his Netflix queue.
