I was at a function the other day and the speaking was touting how pleased his company was with their box office receipts from the last year. His claim was that people obviously wouldn't go to the movies if they weren't making any good ones. This got me thinking. Well, first it got me laughing to myself but then I thought. Yes, Transformers and New Moon were two of the worst films I saw all year and two of the biggest successes. For them to reach the heights that they did though, there had to be repeat business and there had to be word of mouth (or word of tweet as it goes these days). People did drop their hard earned money to see these films and Hollywood will naturally continue to provide these forms of entertainment as long as they continue to do so. So, is it years of Hollywood conditioning that only makes the masses think these are the movies they want to see or are these really the kinds of movies the masses want? I can say I don't share the same taste as the masses but I cannot say they have none. They just don't have mine.Black Sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401179904634647186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17116344.post-69031370963599092262010-01-15T21:47:53.854-05:002010-01-15T21:47:53.854-05:00I find your comment that things are looking bright...I find your comment that things are looking bright at the box office to be a little ironic. Yes, things are looking good business wise for the box office but what are things looking like in regards to the people who are going to these movies. Considering that two of the big money makers are Transformers 2 and New Moon, I'd say not so much. It's nice that people are coming back to the movies. Now they just need to start getting good movies to see. Hopefully Avatar will begin to change that.Mikehttp://mikesyoutalkingtome.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
