3. The theater experience. Moviegoers above 30 are weary of noisy fanboys and girls. The annoyance of talkers has been joined by the plague of cell-phone users, whose bright screens are a distraction. Worse, some texting addicts get mad when told they can’t use their cell phones. A theater is reportedly opening which will allow and even bless cell phone usage, although that may be an apocryphal story.
Ebert is always so spot on.
I’ll tell you why movie revenue is dropping…
In other news, Lindsey and I went and saw Girl With the Dragon Tattoo today. It was not bad, Craig did a great job and I think it is hard to compare Mara to RApace’s (edit*) amazing performance, but Mara held her own really well. I wouldn’t call it a must see, but I would say that it is a great version of a dark book. Ending was modified a little, I assume for setup to sequel.
