Save the Hollywood Studios-Do your part
The media have been running stories about how this year's film earnings are in a slump; that Americans are turning away from the movies and instead seeking their jollies on the internet, buying dvds, and God knows what else. It's total crap. It's just an ad campaign to boost box office numbers, the latest "screenplay" out of Hollywood :"Save the Holywood Studios".
My annoyance of this was confirmed by some facts pointed out on What's in Rebecca's Pocket. We are coming off a historic boom in box office numbers. The market is correcting itself, returning to pre-jihad sales.
This isn't the first time I noticed this fact being reported on or mentioned, but it got me today, as I KEEP hearing about how much they are hurting. it's as though they have written a screenplay for the ad campaign called "Save the Hollywood Studios" like the studios, their management and the "stars" are wounded Manatee lining the Florida coast after being run over by big, mean motor boats driven by bootleg downloaders, or visions of seal pups enveloped in petroleum after the Valdez spil being strangled to death by the viscous, evil internet. The poor movie moguls, what are you going to do to save them?
