I see several movies per week, but vow today that my movie viewing days are over. I refuse to give money to Hollywood after last night's mess. We control the money, it is now tome to show them...

I'm with you. But I don't know what else I can boycott. I already refuse to even watch on TV any movie that has Julia Roberts, the Baldwins, Streisand, Sean Penn, Madonna, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Meryl Streep, etc, etc, etc, etc. It's actually great, because it's given me a lot more time.

But there has to be something else we could do. Maybe the 90% of us who are revolted by Hollywood's putrescence could come up with the seed money to start a new film center, somewhere like Houston or Oklahoma City.

My inexpert feeling is that Dallas-Ft.Worth metroplex has that sown up,
having had long-term production of Walker, Texas Ranger and a couple of
made-for-TV films.
And now there seem to be local-color shows like "Cheaters",
"Dallas SWAT", etc.
It ain't Hollywood and probably never will be. But it does have
at least a nucleus of talent and money.
