Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I knew you would chime in

We all understand that movie business is well, business. As I said, this is free economy, and bad films don't do much harm to anyone, becides just a few brain cells.

People often compare the junk films with junk food, and there ARE certain parallels. And as we know, junk food is an important part of the economy, even if I can't remember my last Big Mac (I do remember a Coke... about nine months ago...).

Bottom line - the ticket prices are what they are because millions of people employed by the industry make good living, and millions of consumers are happy viewing what the film idunstry is producing. But again, as long as this exchange happens voluntarily and no one is forcing ME to contribute (I can't remember paying to see an American film... been years... Last one was probably Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, or close to that) I am fine.

More importantly, like all other classes of junkies, the modern movie goers just can't get enough of artificial gimmics and silly visual effects, and those gimmics don't come cheap - rightly was mentioned the Titanic model, and all that crap - so expect the prices to only go up.
