65.145.3.23

"Spider Man"....and before that "Rush Hour 2".

What's the use of going out for the movies, when, 1) theatrical releses are mainly "trailers" for home video release, and 2)DVD is the best way to enjoy a film...with all of the commentary and film presentation features, it's like going to film school without the dull, pendantic teacher.

A majority of my DVD purchases are foreign and "classic" films, that one would ordinarily view at special run theaters. Living in the NYC area, say, just twenty or so years ago, there were many of these theaters that catered to people who loved these classic and foreign films...in a big way. They have all been shut down and replaced with multi-plexes that sell garbage, first run films by the truck full!

It used to be a genuine social event to go out to the movies...now it's a big pain in the butt! And for what ? Nothing.

That there are large box office grosses, means to me, that people are THAT desperate for entertainment and they will endure the most vilest of garbage just to get out of the house...or wherever they spend most of their time sleeping.
