fuck doomers : el teatro uber alles



the meat roars a rebuke .....




================================================



hey plinker 
did ya se this
in 
the la times today:


"One of Hollywood's top filmmakers
 delivered a rallying cry
 to the nation's theater owners Thursday
 warning that one of the great American traditions
 — the collective moviegoing experience —
 was being threatened with extinction"

what bogositry !!!!


"Speaking at the annual  theatre owners 
      convention
 in Orlando, Fla."

          orlando ?????

" M. Night Shyamalan, the director and writer
 of such blockbusters as "The Sixth Sense" 
and "Signs," 


          and a misty wiffy fart faced wafer head 

"condemned those who are pushing 
        to eliminate
 the window between 
 the big screen release 
and its debut on DVD."


" Doing away with that window
 will not only destroy the exhibition industry
 Shyamalan warned
 but it will also diminish 
the artistic integrity of moviemaking"


destroy theatres ??????
please you slime 

 
"Art is the ability to convey
 that we are not alone," 

         fuck the guy quoting who  here ?? 
                              bill moyers ???

"When I sit down next to you 
in a movie theater
 we get to share each other's point of view
 We become part of a collective soul
 That's the magic in the movies."

"If this thing happens
 you know the majority of your theaters 
are closing
 It's going to crush you guys."



But until Thursday, the discussion had focused largely on the need to increase the studios' bottom lines amid this year's box-office slump. For the most part, members of the creative community have kept quiet — a fact that Shyamalan said bespoke


" a regrettable apathy among his fellow directors "



 "the human factor of the moviegoing experience".

" movies are an art form 
        that is  viewed  best
   on a big screen with a big audience"

"Shyamalan's is at odds with 
 another high-profile writer-director, Steven Soderbergh"



"The spirited discussion was notable 
in part because both are regarded as
 creative risk-takers, 
not mere purveyors 
of formulaic "popcorn" movies"

Shyamalan declined to discuss the summertime spat, saying only, "We're both fiery and passionate." Shyamalan said he believed Soderbergh "loves cinema," but if he prevailed, "I think he's going to kill it."



"Not all studio chiefs feel as Iger does".


entertainment Chairman Michael Lynton :

, "We at Sony believe very strongly 
in the theatrical window. 
It is our lifeblood as well as
 that of theater owners."

"the rise of piracy "
shorten the traditional six-month window"







At Thursday's closing night dinner,


" Shyamalan assured his audience 
that his movies are made to be viewed in theaters
 DVDs, cable and all other ancillary markets 
are just "souvenirs," 

"I came here to tell you 
that what you do is something sacred"


"If I can't make movies for theaters,
 I don't want to make movies,"
