A Great Idea
More Movie Watchers Staying at Home
Well I was thinking do you think at any time the people in Hollywood would make a deal with the Digital and Satellite companys to debut movie's on something like a payperview channel ? After reading that article thats when I got the idea, would you people enjoy it if they did ?

There have been reports over here that some directors like Soderburgh(correct spelling?) want to multi-format releases to help combat the downward trend in cinema goers. Possibly have cinema , dvd and pay per view all out at the same time to help increase revenue and interest. I'm not entirely convinced it would work, besides going to the cinema is second to none when you want to watch a decent flick

I personally would like to see Hollywood burn to the ground. I love watching movie attendance and profits fall through the floor. Not everyone can swing the $10.50 per ticket they're charging these days to make up for their lack of imagination.

That's what i'm saying, they could charge like $8 for the movie just relesed on payperview or something $8 is better than $20 just to get in and another $20 for a pop and popcorn.

Or maybe they could knock the star salaries down JUST A BIT so films cost 15 million instead of 80 or 90...and go back to charging us 5 dollars a ticket!
$10.50, $11.50, $12.00? To watch the worthless garbage they make today? I'll stick with DVD releases of old, GOOD films, myself...

I'm perfectly happy watching movies at home, and i'll tell you why.
1.My son works at a local video store so i get new releases the weekend before they come out and it don't cost me a dime. 2.I don't have to pay $10 for a handful of popcorn and a small soda. 3. NO annoying people to deal with. 4.I can enjoy a beer or two with the movie if i so desire....and i usually do.:D 5. Since i got my projector i watch movies on a 80 x 60 inch screen......its a beautiful thing.

Well - I tend to watch more at home - also hate people yelling, talking, etc. Just saw A History of Violence and spent the whole movie being annoyed by the shuffling wrappers and whispers.
BUT, that said, I think a lot is lost when you don't go to the theatre. For instance, I watched White Noise (ok, don't ask me why - and yes it sucked ass in ways I can barely begin to describe BUT...) the audience was full of teenagers and they totally freaked everytime something happened. Their reactions made the movie worth it. There is definitely something about being in a huge auditorium full of people shrieking that makes the movie experience something special.

First, sometimes that's good and sometimes its not. The screams from the audience is fine, but when they do it for EVERYTHING? I watched 28 Days Later at a theatre and there was a group of teenage girls who shrieked like banshees for a good 30 seconds after EVERY scare... like they were doing it because they felt they had to, like it was more fun to do than frightening. I wound up just being irritated by them and didn't enjoy the film (after watching it on dvd its one of my favorites)... Second, not everything out there is horror. But audiences scream at every movie that they're watching, whether it be consciously or not. I don't wanna watch Mr. and Mrs. Smith (I don't wanna watch it to begin with) and hear a bunch of people screaming "Oh God, hot!!!" or some nonsense like that to impress their 16 year old skater friends. The theatres are jjust a painful experience, I can't stand it anymore... I'll wait for movies on DVD, they're coming out quicker and quicker nowadays.
