Hollywood quality that we've all come to expect

After recently going to the movies, and reading this article I can't help but agree. I really dont think that the ability of potential moviegoers to download movies off of the internet is seriously hurting revenues. I mean, seriously.

2 Prime Time Movie tickets: $19
1 Water, 1 Hot Dog, 1 Nachos, 1 Large Soda, 1 Large Water: $18
Total movie going price: $37

I paid $37 dollars tonight for my fiance and I to spend about 2 hours in the dark watching a movie. Thats a full tank of gas, thats admittance ALL DAY to a water park, thats going to the fair, thats a whole buttload of rentals, thats a new PC game, thats 1 month of playing WoW, thats two months of playing city of heroes...

Let me be frank: I want my monies worth, and for the most part all hollywood does is shovel a pile os steaming horse shit into my brain. "You'll pay through the nose for the mindless drivel we remove from the horse stables attached to our multimilion dollar mansions and you'll like it you sniveling-pile-of-shit-that-is-consumer" says the MPAA.

Gee, I dont know why people arent going to the movies... do YOU?!

It's no wonder people are willing to spend time downloading and watching a crappy cam job of a movie. The sound's off, people are laughing during the movie through your computer, and some dude gets up seven times to use the restroom... but the bottom line is that you didnt pay $40 for the privilege of watching someones excuse for cinematic creativity (read: whatever the movie crew could throw together between the actors rehab stints)

Lets face it. People who go to movies like going to the movies! If they like a movie they'll see it in the theatre again and again and again. Even the people who download the movies go to see the ones they like in the theatres. It's an experience that no ones livingroom can match! you have a product going for you and it's called the "experience" If you bring up the quality of the movies that you put out on the market you will dramatically increase the quality of the experience of going to the movies and you'll make lots and lots of money which is, i know, what you want to do. Again: You're not competing with movie downloads on a frame per frame basis, but an EXPERIENCE PER EXPERIENCE basis... and lets face it... you can win on that premis.

You expect people to WANT the product you're selling, even at a greater price than it's worth. You CANNOT sustain that business model. It WILL break down. As your quality declines so does demand... but... you've flooded the market with a staggering amount of new movies *cough*crap*cough*! So... if quality is inversly proportional to supply, and if demand is directly associated with quallity, demand is therefor inversly proportional to supply in this case; because the more titles you produce at once the worse those titles are and (now this is important) the less I feel like spending $40 on a crap shoot at the movies about whether I'll have wasted two hours of my lifetime on a steaming pile of horse apples

Am I making sense here? Am I coming through? Or are you comfortably numb sitting there in your offices thinking to yourself "if we flood the market with this crap we'll force them into paying us for our incompetence! its great! its wonderful! its easy! its foolproof! they CANNOT RESIST IT!" Yea you're delusional, and it's backfiring... you dun crossed the line, and are getting the only backlash that you could reasonably expect.

HEY! MOVIE INDUSRTY! If you produced goods with better quality than algae... you wouldnt have so many problems with bottom feeders....
