That's A Wrap!!!
I am not really the blogger type so I don't think I will be posting any new blogs. I did enjoy it a couple of times because it's like having one more person to talk to. I also liked it because it made me feel like I wasn't alone with some of the thoughts that I was thinking at the time. I have enjoyed everyone and I appreciate everyone that commented on my blog through the passing weeks. On to another topic, I really want to see the movie "Precious" and it is not playing anywhere but major cities. I want to know why they have so many commercials for it and everyone says it is a great movie but it is only in select cities. A movie that powerful and meaningful should be played everywhere so everyone can experience it. I am really amazed it isn't everywhere with Oprah backing it. Also, I don't think that is a smart move for the production company. Since they are not offering it everywhere, I think that is putting a cap on the money to be made. I thought the main point was to make money with no limits, not limit the money to be made. But my sister just told me that the movie will start showing in New Orleans on Nov. 20th. I will be down there after Thanksgiving so I have made plans to see it there. On the other side, maybe the people who made the movie have done the research and by only offering it to select cities first makes people in other places really want to see it and then offer it everywhere and make twice the money. Maybe it's the idea of people want things they don't have. Now that I think about it they may be on to something!!! That is only if this is their plan, if it isn't then it is bad business!!!

I probably won't be posting any more blogs after this semester either. And maybe the movie company is doing something like with "Paranormal Activity," by only offering screenings in select cities and then branching out after advertising like crazy and word of mouth. This method worked very well for "Paranormal Activity;" it's now the most profitable movie of all time (for what it cost to make)!
ReplyDeleteYou must me a business major. lol.
ReplyDeleteWell I'll tell you what, I watched the suckiest movie last night. "Drag me to Hell". UGH! Just thinking about it makes me angry; and last night, it made me wanna break my tv.

I really want to see Precious too. I found myself complaining about the fact that it hasn't come to Shreveport yet and then I remembered the good ole days when I would read the book and enjoy it! I forgot about the pleasure of reading and lingering over the story for a day or two. i forgot how good it feels to cuddle in pj's and juts lose myself in a good book. So thats what I intend to do. Buy the book and read it.
ReplyDeleteI have a stack of books to read, and one I'm writing, so I probably won't go to a movie any time soon!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you guys find the time!
