This week, executives in the movie/theatre business took a break from resting their heads comfortably up their butts to state that they're concerned over lagging attendence and receipts at theatres, citing one of the worst theatrical slumps in twenty years. Shortly thereafter they beamed with excitement about the new movies on the horizon such as Bewitched and War of the Worlds, then resumed their cranial-buttock encampment.

Maybe it's because I'm charged $7 to sit through twenty minutes of stupid commercials before the movie? Perhaps I'm sick of paying $4 for a root beer, and then wishing I was dead halfway into realizing that I paid actual money to see a bad remake of the Dukes of Hazard?

Of course, maybe this is all the fault of the internets?
