**** no I wasn't serious. If anyone wants to see the power of degrading capitalism, look to Hollywood. Stars earn $15 million a film while the gap between the rich and middle/lower class widens as if under the staff of Moses, and our entire nation flocks to theaters to see worthless shit like Friday the 13th, in the defense of escaping their own lives. On top of that we watch these stars come together to celebrate each other's accomplishments, maybe send a message about some social cause, get their $30,000 packages for presenting, and talk about designers who take ****ing cloth, weave it into some hideous mess, and sell it for tens of thousands of dollars.

Why just football? Almost all of the major sports. Consider how much NY taxpayers are paying for two new baseball fields, one that stages a team that just spent almost half of a billion dollars for three ****ing baseball players this offseason alone. Then consider how much it costs to actually watch them play in person. It's a ****ing joke. Consider NASCAR, if that can even be consider a sport. We worry about gas prices and supporting dictators with control over oil at the same time as cheering on cars every weekend that go in large ****ing circles 500 times.

A 2009 Oscar nominated Producer that called me yesterday asking for my participation on his current film wasn't on that winner's list.
I'm hoping he wins. For purely personal reasons and gains of course. ![]() Last edited by DaneMcCloud; 02-20-2009 at 03:18 PM.. |

I think people still flock to the theaters because for the most part, its still one of the most affordable forms of "night out" entertainment. But thats rapidly becoming less and less a truth in the age of $10-15 a ticket.

I agree. Its funny though because you wouldnt think that? Seems entertainment would be one of the first things people would cut?
