Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

So, the younger set isn't going to movies?? I thought Hunger Games, Harry Potter and Everything Aimed at Young People makes far more money than everything else??

Even so, they're going to scare away old folk with texting in the hopes that teens will start paying $13 each to see a movie? Sounds idiotic to me. No 19 year old is saying "I would totally take my girl to see Avengers for $26 plus $9 popcorn and $5 drinks even though I have literally dozens of entertainment options at home, but they won't let me text in the theater."

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.

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.

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