Instead, I use reviewers, some nationally and most of all reviews on sites like IMDB.com and RottenTomatoes. It's not as instant as text messages, but I can get a good idea whether I will like the movie from a couple of days of reviews. 688024@blogcritics.org Tue, 15 Jan 2008 14:24:41 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/08/31/124903.php#comment-688002 So we are supposed to feel bad that they aren't able to hoodwink more people into seeing their bad movies? Hahaha.. Other issues aside, if word of mouth is saying your movie sucks, the faster it spreads the better. At $10.25, we deserve a better cinema experience. 688002@blogcritics.org Tue, 15 Jan 2008 12:09:11 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/08/31/124903.php#comment-687993 I never go to the movies anymore, unless it's something that the entire family wants to see. The last movie I saw in the theaters was Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix. The movie before that was Goblet of Fire. The next movie in the theater I will see will be Indiana Jones, but after that it will be Half Blood Prince. With movies coming to DVD within 9 months of their theatrical release, and then with (most likely) and unrated version that is either longer or more edgier than the theatrical release, I don't really have compelling reason to go to a theater to see a movie. And the movies ARE bad. Word of mouth spreads more quickly becasue of texting and blogging and what not. But the drop of is so much becasue the message being conveyed via "new-fangled" technology is a message of badness. If a decent movie was made, I'm sure a message of goodness would move just as fast. 687993@blogcritics.org Tue, 15 Jan 2008 11:12:40 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/08/31/124903.php#comment-687976 Here's a tip to the movie industry: MAKE GOOD MOVIES 687976@blogcritics.org Tue, 15 Jan 2008 09:36:46 EST
