Rantoid - On The Subject Of Missing Movies, And Movies Likely To Go Missing...

[patentdragon]

Here's a lesson on entertainment economics that I feel has to be presented in such "it's THIS frigging simple" format, it may as well be in "old-school" computing style...

10 BEGIN
20 IF John Carter is on on opening day at my local cinema
30 THEN go see it on opening day
40 ELSE go and see it in Dundee on the Saturday
50 END

For the cost of the out-of-town trip, including bus fares, I could do a double-header at my local - if my local could be arsed showing TWO movies I wanted to see on the same day.

Am I being unfair to my usually excellent local cinema? Hey, they show JC in opening week, I'll go for the VIP package...!

I think the world of movies has just been chafing my "gentleman" these last couple of months. Buggering around with titles seems to be the order of the day - I wonder what else the fuckin' genii in Marketing think they should be calling their movies...?

Iron Sky - Oh God Please Don't Sue Us, It's A Comedy, Not A Documentary On Current German Socio-Economic Policy...?

Alien 0 - Prometheus...?

Men In Black 3 - Except There's Actually Two Of Them, And Their Shirts Are Actually White...?

Consider my ire expended.
