Movie Industry's New Strategy
Permalink   


In this month's issue of Premiere there's an article about two guys who want to change the way that movies are distributed to bring in more cash to the industry. They want to distribute movies at the exact same time for theaters, DVDs and pay-per-view. Most theater chains and movie producers are against it because they feel it devalues the appeal of going to the theater. They primarily base the success of a movie on how well it does to bring in money to theaters. It's a simplistic business model. Would you be for for this strategy of instant gratification or would it really take out the entire allure of movie watching?

It'll never happen and it shouldn't. The wait and the build-up (reviews, hearsay, promotion) is far too important to the entire movie watching experience.

Yeah I wish, it would have made it a lot easier to blaze that blunt while I watched KILL BILL VOL.2

the upside is that you could have the opportunity to watch any sort of independent film without having to worry if it's coming to a theater near you. if it doesn't appear then you're not stuck waiting. also, they could market some sort of dvd package for oscar nominations. you could rent/buy all of them for a special price.

okay, I"m pissed. I wanted to go watch the new Woody Allen movie today because I did not want to be productive and it's not playing anywhere in my state or the ones next to it. I had the 411 operator doublecheck her spelling of "match" because I couldn't believe it. So, I asked her to look it up in new york just to make sure that I was not crazy. She starts naming off all of these theaters like I'm in new york. that was purely rhetorical operator chica, just check'n that your 'ol search engine works.

so, this is why major motion films should all be released at the same time. I can't help it that I have interest and have heard from word of mouth that there have been standing ovations for this film but I live in a **** state where the demographics don't match up with the film base. come on! where is democracy in the chance to see it? I will have to wait 3-5 months for it to come out in video. I don't even have the heart to see if they let Munich play here. Maybe because it's Spielberg's film. (I need a life but I have always been an obsessed retard when it comes to seeing films.)

when I was younger, I'd drive an hour to see a film if it wasn't in my town because I wanted to see it that badly (the English Patient, everyone's fave on this site). So, I was prepared to drive up to four hours to see it.

on a separate note, there's this hot guy outside of my building that has been trying to fix his engine of this car ALL DAY. He's got a great pair of jeans on and doesn't seem stressed at all. I've already run errands and bought several Starbucks and cussed out the 411 operator and he's STILL HERE. weird?! He now has his friend doing all of the work on the engine and the tires. why haven't they called a tow truck? the sun is almost setting...

I personally was in a great movie and I do not know any producer who agrees with the above!

no, I wish I could tell y'all but I'll get in trouble in IRL (real life). It's not that one.

He's not a main character but his background scenes are pretty ****ing hysterical. It's the kind of thing that you rewind just to watch him.

you're just trying to taunt me so that I'll give clues. DUH!


I know funny when I see it--and it IS FUNNY when you see a friend in a movie--period. The hysterical part is when he is doing sign language off the back of a parade car and slow dancing in the background. It was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Sorry JJ.
