Shocking, the only form of protest they seem to notice is when it’s against property.

Did you watch the video? He literally talks about that and says the same thing. And, this video helps explain why that became a thing in the first place.
How? There are no good corporations. We are all enablers. There is no conscious consumption under capitalism.
I wanted to go the movies this weekend but the movie I wanted to see is no longer at my local theater, I would need to drive 45 minutes to see it. It’s only been out for 2 weeks but I could go to one of three screens in the local theater still showing Captain America which I have no interest in. It wouldn’t bother me so much but this about the fifth time this has happened in less than a year.
P.F. Flyers?
Last month, Elon Musk revived the term and told Fox News host Sean Hannity he used to be “adored by the left” until they were infected with TDS.
From what I remember, it had nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with you calling the experts who successfully rescued a bunch of children trapped in a cave, “pedo guy” along with all your other aggressive tactics to silence critics. Followed by the Twitter purchase.
It’s a lot of different factors and unfortunately the movie industry has just been going on inertia and greed for years and this is the result of that.
Another commenter mentioned prices. Prices for everything have risen but when it costs more for a month of a streaming service than the price of one movie ticket it makes the movie ticket harder to justify.
Speaking of streaming, it’s obviously far easier to stream a movie at home rather than make the effort to go to the theater. Add the cost and complexity of child care if you’re a parent and a night out at the movies is expensive and a headache.
Take those two factors out and you’re still up against the issue of time and marketing. This is the more personal one for me so these examples below are my personal thoughts and feelings.
Before the night of the Oscars, I had only heard of two of the nominees for best pictures and only had the chance to see one in theaters. I see the advertisements but I’ll be honest unless the ad really piques my interest, I don’t know where to watch said movie. Is it streaming? What service? I don’t know they showed the logo at the end but I wasn’t paying enough attention. Is it in the theater? It is? Ok, let’s go see it, oh it was only in the theater for two weeks but you can stream it now on Amazon for $20. I don’t want to stream it and I wanted to see it in a theater. And if I want to see it badly enough, I don’t want to pay Jeff Bezos the money to do that so I’ll wait until it’s on one of the ones I subscribe to. Or it’s a movie like Mikey 17. I’ve never heard of that movie anywhere except on this website and about half the times it’s been mentioned, it was in articles like this saying, “why isn’t anyone going to the movies?” Same shit happened last year with “Fall Guy”. Movies used to be allowed to grow and find their audience, now it’s all the bottom dollar and extracting that value as soon as possible.
Let people enjoy things, just ignore it if you don’t like it. Who cares, as long as it isn’t hurting anyone.
Sadly I highly doubt it.
“I take away from what I heard today that we’re doing exactly what the American people sent us to Washington D.C. to do,” Edwards said, as several protesters pounded on the doors nearby.
Talk about not reading the room.
At point in the interview Michelle Martin, the interviewer asked him to explain it for people that hadn’t seen it on tv and he couldn’t even do that.
I listened to this interview this morning and wanted to reach through my phone and smack some sense into that guy. The interviewer kept asking direct questions and Edgar kept giving non answers. And I don’t know how many times the interviewer corrected him that Khalil is married to an American and is a naturalized citizen but Edgar kept saying he was here on a visa even after being corrected numerous times.
His responses were right out of the authoritarian play book, never acknowledge you’re wrong and toe the party line. I know it’s the point but goddamn is that exasperating.
Join me, I’ve been boycotting them for years.
Just look up Foxconn in Wisconsin if you want a preview of what’s to come.
Great movie! I was flipping channels in a hotel and stumbled across it. It was 1/3 of the way in but I was immediately captivated. I need to watch it all the way through at some point.
Not as bad as others thankfully but mine is: the world shut down due to a global pandemic.
Destroy property, it’s literally the only thing they care about.
