Movie theaters are also having a major slump. There might be several issues combined going on here such as turning off/insulting fans, high ticket prices, economy not doing as well as being reported etc.

I know many Conservatives have been ticked off at Hollywood for a long time. Now the left has reason for disgust. The injection of left politics into sports could be a major factor for decline in NFL and at ESPN. Mrs. & I live in a big city - we went to see a movie last weekend at $18.75/ticket. We're going tonight to see another at $13.75/ticket. I think that is a lot of money for 1 seat. AFAIK the movie biz is not growing like crazy which can only mean that as prices have gone up and up over the decade they are reaching fewer and fewer people (economics 101).

For tonight's movie, I logged in to buy the tickets and reserve the seats and I kid you not not a single seat had been reserved 4 hours to showtime.

I watched GeoStorm at the theater. Massive Globalism is good message- so thick you needed a shovel, not a trowel to slather it all over. Simplistic plot. Very loud sound levels. It has the message of China as a primary partner among other nations and a US leader as a villain. And of course, it has a humanistic theme that a united mankind can do what ever it decides to do. I was thinking after the movie, I should have skipped it.

I find myself self censoring a lot of what I choose to watch and I find myself going to less movies due to content, violence and implicit propaganda.

I noticed the same thing for a movie last Wednesday. I think there were 5 people total in the theater.

You know private screenings aren’t all that bad. :)
