| #8 For me to care Hollyweird and the MPAA's members products they would have to produce something worth the price of admission, they haven't in years and to get the hell out of lobbying Congress for laws to entrench and favor their business model. This combined with their support for politics I do not believe in means my money stays in my pocket and my eyes focused on other things. The same goes for The RIAA and their members products. Show business is bad for the US and civil liberties. "Hollywood" is bad news. |

| #7 Hollywood will go into producing blockbusters primarily and distributing movies made by smaller companies rather than trying to compete against the smaller movies. |

| #6 he didn't care about blacks, and ultimately he didn't care that he was bringing his own kin into a path to prison. True stories sting the worst, don't they? |

| #5 American Gangster made me incredibly sad...watching Frank Lucas sell his people back into slavery. |

| #3 Hollywood style movies aren't dying. They will just become smaller, more CG and designed to go straight to DVD or streaming skipping the box office. I see it breaking up at first like ma bell, then merging into several large firms later. |

| #2 saw American Gangster this week - really liked it - note those % (+/-) are daily Box Office $ - look for the number of theaters, total B.O. and what the movie's production budget was - Rendition is a (well-deserved) bomb - I hope all involved lose their anti- american asses. Critical reviews (likely better than audiences, given the critics' lib leanings) for Lions for Lambs (Redford's POS flick) are scathing - another box office nuke...heh I really liked Redford back in the day....Jeremiah Johnson remains one of my top fives (and in my DVD library), The Sting, Butch Cassidy, et al...3 Days of the Condor (although a good movie) was the start of his spiral down the anti-american path IMNSHO |
