Movie Industry Blames Texting for Bad Box Office

Posted by michael on from the buying-your-gross dept.

cybercuzco writes "The movie industry is blaming poor sales of such movies as Gigli, The Hulk and Charlies Angels not on the fact that they were poor quality, but because people text message other people telling them that the movie stinks. Industry executives say that this undermines a carefully crafted marketing image. Expect texting to be banned by the MPAA in the near future."

    What does it matter? Trinity dies at the end of the movie anyway.

    With this administration it's not about "easier" it's about "the only way".

    BTW, I've lost any sympaties to Arnold Terminator once I've learned he is a republican. While all holliwood are republicans, the brainwashing will always win against a speech freedom.

    The party is moot, it is simply all greedy jews. Just do a roll call on the players in hollywood - you will find an extremely dispraportionate high number of jews -

    -who are the wealthiest lobby in the US
    -who, in return support Isreal,
    -which, in return pisses on Arabs,
    -who, in return blow up Americans due to our support of Israel.

    It's a reverse, sublime, holocaust for everyone but Jews. The progress is slower, but more total.

    Before you mod this as a troll, *think* about it.
