Once again the movie industry is throwing itself a lavish party, one in a series of them, even though there is surprisingly little to celebrate.
Movie attendance in 2011 hit a fifteen year low and while the industry isn't doing as badly as its counterparts in the music industry, beneath the greasepaint and glamor, it is panicking every bit as badly. There's still plenty of money to be made, but the industry has the clear sense that it has lost its audience. And it has. -- Sultan Knish a blog by Daniel Greenfield

Who wants to waste 20 bucks to watch half-naked multi-culty rejects from the 'Young and the Useless'
wade through digitally created gore, spewing profanity in a script designed for 6th grade mentalities and hormones.

Short attention-span theater...bah!
