Yeah there hasn’t been much interesting . But I also wouldn’t want to support some of the wackos producing in starring in many of these movies .

From the article you posted, which no surprise, you didn't read.

“Studios are lagging behind for the very simple reason that they are relying on retreads and reboots, and most of those aren’t being well received,” Exhibitor Relations senior analyst Jeff Bock recently told Business Insider. “Audiences are continuing to flock to streaming in droves for challenging content and that doesn’t look to change in 2018, or the near future.”

But don't let the facts get in the way of your tingles.

Yeah -- you didn't read the article.

Yeah -- you don't pay attention to the changing entertainment industry

Yeah -- if it makes you happy to think it is because of Republicans and that makes you feel good -- go for it.

You think Trump supporters want to support anti American actors/ producers ?

My Republican friends watched all the same movies I did.

Movie ticket sales are down, mainstream ratings are down -- the way we get our entertainment is changing and Trump and his fans have nothing to do with it.

I know, right? There's going to come a time when all the ideas for movies are going to run out. In fact, I think we're witnessing it now. My wife and I love going to the movies but the stuff we're seeing is just re-hashed themes from old movies. They just polish them up a bit and re-brand them.
