In Hollywood, 2003 is rapidly becoming known as the year of the failed blockbuster, and the industry now thinks it knows why.

The problem, they say, is teenagers who instant message their friends with their verdict on new films

great idea for a cell phone commercial:

a guy writes to his friend  --movie licks dick, going to bed--   and then slumps in his chair and falls asleep

==then the narrator comes on==

when the movie only gets slower, tell your friends how bad it is faster.....AT&T (or what ever)

HA! I would have thought the solution then would be to actually start making good movies. Not expecting us to believe that just because it has a budget of 300000 Gizzillion it has to be good. Point in case, the las Bond movie...... Utter shit, the last Terminator..... Crap.

But hey at least Arnie won't be acting as much now right!?

  :D

hmm, why make better movies? i wouldn't be surprised if they tried a lawsuit against the SMS providers. i still wouldn't be surprised if they won.

People are stupid.

I really liked Finding Nemo and Pirates of the Carribean, and the movie industry sucks. It was obvious that The Hulk, Charlie's Angels 2, and Gigli (and nearly everything else for that matter, but I still need to see Terminator 3 and Tomb Raider 2) were going to suck. Industries should stop blaming, they're almost as bad as the american public.
