Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

[Moonliner]

So I went straight to the source on this one and asked a teen.

Headliner is aghast at the idea of allowing texting in theaters. Not being able to text is definitely not keeping her and her friends out of the theaters. Price is annoying but it's also not the main reason. Nope, according to an actual teen they don't go to more movies because there just are not that many movies they want to see.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it theater owners of America.

They are still going to movies, just not as many/often as previous generations.

In 1946, 4 billion movie tickets were sold in America. The number last year was less than 1.3 billion.

See! Disney killed the movies after Song Of The South.

PS: The Haunted Mansion Reboot has me excited:

Del Toro saw the 2003 film with his daughters; when asked about his involvement in the new project, he said, "the thing I want to do is remake it." Elaborating, he commented, "The movie I see in my head of 'Haunted Mansion' is not, I believe, what everyone is imagining it to be. It's not just a regular world with a haunted mansion plopped in the middle. I really am thinking of a movie that has a heightened reality." Del Toro said that Hatbox Ghost would be the main haunting and added, "We are not making it a comedy. We are making it scary and fun at the same time, but the scary will be scary." It is to be filmed in live-action 3D. It was later announced by del Toro that he is aiming for a PG-13 rating for the film.

Aha! There is hope for the future!

And I agree- there are few movies I consider worth seeing lately.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but she's a smart kid, probably a 90 percentile type or better. She's your daughter. Makes Headliner a bit of an Outlier, if you ask me.

Unless the second post is an expression of horror, I find it inconsistent with the first post.
