Hollywood faces more empty seats: Bad movies = bad sales

This New York Times article taps in on the frequent “floppage” of this summer’s anticipated hits. This seems like a long time coming... I have read so much about decreasing sales in Hollywood recently. The funny part is listening to all the absurd reasons they have for people not going to the Cineplex. What does it really come down to? Well, the movies are getting worse and worse. This summer has had the worst movies since, well, last summer (which also sucked). So why are ticket sales dropping? Is it because the gas prices are too high to drive a mile and a half to the theatre? No. It is because there is so much good TV on these days? Obviously not. Is it the fault of “teh interweb!!11!?” Sorry, but no. I tell you, it is the craptakular selection, the cut and paste passionless films, the “star studded” heartless attempts at creativity. I think I have seen 2 movies at the theatre all summer, and I really like to go to the theatre. It is high time that Hollywood take ownership of the foulness of their film-making.
