Once I get my widescreen HDTV, a new surround sound system, and HD-DVD's

Mr. PaulaB..... that you? :P

I heard Tristan and Isolde was the new Titanic. I know a bunch of 20 year-old college students who've seen it over 4 times each.

[Rummyfan]

Well, Bo was a damn fine horse!

[peacebaby]

I can't remember the last movie that really made me cry, besides The Passion.

[Sam's Army]

That will be interesting as a strategy. The issue I see is that DVD releases tend to allow for another round of hype for a flick and boost downstream revenues.

But if the product is bad anyway, it shouldn't matter....

[Mike Bates]

Ah, another sentimental slob, I see. :)

Hollywood is still making money

My guess is Hollywood is making more than ever between:

* domestic box office
* foreign box office
* merchandising
* DVDs
* selling rights for pay-per-view
* selling rights for cable movie channels (HBO, Cinemax, etc)
* and the huge money-maker no one talks about - selling rights to cable & network TV

Hollywood losing money? Not a chance.

Not unless you got me drunk in the middle of the night and flew me to Vegas...unbeknownst to me ;-)

"Dammit Beau, you never gave me no reason to cuss you before."

Sniff...sniff....

[baker_girl]

Have you watched "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants"?

[Rummyfan]

Lucky Ned Pepper, scar on his upper lip where I shot him.

What was you aiming for?

His lower lip!

[PaulaB]

LOL


Your post is something I have heard my hubby say...

wondering if you were his twin ;)

[NoClones]

hollyweird keeps making flicks like fudge-pack mountain they are going to lose even more!

the number of pervs out there to go see that crap are not so many that the creeps on the left coast can continue to make a killing for very long

unless of course they can have the public edu/dumb-u-cation system require viewing of such twaddle as necessary for graduation...

[najida]

I try not to watch tear-jerkers if I can help it.

I usually ask "What's the ending like?" and if they say "Well, it does make you cry at the end, but it's a great movie" I won't watch it.

Rather watch "The Incredibles" for the 34985th time ;)
At home,
On my sofa,
With my fridge, remote and bathroom close by.

[Millee]

Porno??? ;o)

[day10]

We've come near about 50 mile since McAllister.

We're right close to Ned Pepper's camp.

Tomorrow, we'll take him!

[peacebaby]

no, my daughters have. Should I?

[EX52D]

I saw that movie...I liked it.

[Millee]

Rooster: Boots, I got Hayes and some youngster outside, along with Moon and Quincy. I want you to bury 'em.
Boots: They're dead?
Rooster: Well, I wouldn't want you to bury 'em if they wasn't!

[baker_girl]

What!

LOL!

I think you've been around Laz, a little too much.
