Liberals run Hollyweird.

Completely.

Why even go?

“Who can afford to go to a bad movie anymore?”

You nailed it right there. The price of a ticket (non-matinee) is really high. Many people, unless they’re hard-core movie buffs, won’t shell out that kind of money. The concession stand will take you to the cleaners too.

The last full-run movie I saw was “Olympus Has Fallen” and that was back in March of 2013.

Who wants to go to a theater without a gun?

Hollywood bimbos will have to find some other way to subsidize their BS lifestyles.

But how is Dinesh D’Souza’s film doing?

I read an interesting economic analysis of this on a business sight that was talking about the fact that Hollywood doesn’t care. The reason is because profits are up. There are no mega-bombs like last year. Also, there are not a large number of (expected) mega-tent polls this year. So while raw numbers are down, they are making MORE money than last year.

And in the end, that is ALL Hollywood is about ... making money.

I can but I choose not to. Hollywood has been on my boycott list for quite a while. their lack of attendance suggests that I’m not the only person who has grown tired of Hollywood’s leftist agenda.

Bad selection. I’m normally a summer block buster junky, rarely in June and July do I go multiple weeks without hitting the theater. I didn’t see a single June release, my only July movies were Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and the Monty Python thing (which really doesn’t count). Next one in my pipeline is the James Brown biopic August 1st. Just not an exciting season, even the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie is a skip for me (hated the Guardians of the Galaxy comic no way I’m paying to see the movie).

Obama’s fault? or the Christian right boycotting Hollywood Liberals? I’ll take the latter for $100 please, Alex.

How’s that ‘gay every ten minutes’ working out ??!

TV is right behind in the ‘nobody watching’ category.

Time for the floundering studios to cut overpaid performers at least 50%. It’s high time the Leftist Hollywood crowd gets to feel the pangs of the Obama economy.

I rent movies either at the library for free or at redbox (long story). The last several times we’ve gone to redbox there was nothing there we wanted to see and we left empty handed.

Waiting for the Expendables to come out.

Saw the first one on a recommendation, didn't expect much, and thought it was a 'hoot'. Second one was pretty much in the same vein. I expect this too present what's advertised, and that would be fine.

If I have time, I'd like to get to the new Planet of the Apes movie, but other than that, what's even out right now?

Roku 3!
Defund Hollywood and Cable TV at the same time.
After 10 years happy with DirectTV, I will NEVER go back.

We only saw two movies this summer. Grand Budapest Hotel which was all right but kind of over-rated and Godzilla, which could really have used a script and some actors. There’s nothing out there anybody with an IQ above room temperature would pay to see. Tammy? Sex Tape? Giant robots? Geez.
