The audiences have become even duller than the people who make the movies who are bored and disappointed by their own work so much that they are willing to give awards to films that are not written for teenagers and children.
Seldom have i left a theater without wanting my money and time refunded. I think that "Dorr under the floor" was the last decent new movie i have seen.
The popcorn is a better deal than the movies.

HI FRUCTOSE CORN SWEETNER.
Remember New Coke? It was a scam. When they brought back the old Coke, it wasn;t the same. They replaced sugar with HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SWEETNER.
Then everybody did it. Now instead of sugar, soda pop has HFC.
They said it was because it was cheaper.
SURE, BUT THAT ISN'T WHY.
Sugar is fuel. HFC is not. HFC must be converted by the liver into fat before the body can burn it.
You think you are getting sugar because it is sweet, but it isn't fuel so you CONSUME more of it to get the energy your body is expecting. YOU STILL DON'T GET IT. Unless you buy ENERGY drinks that actually CONTAIN SUGAR.
Bottom line is that you BUY MORE PRODUCT and get less POSITIVE RESULTS which is why we have 64 ounce BIG GULPS.
Fruit Juices are good for you, RIGHT? Not if they are sweetened with HFC. You might as well be drinking soda pop.
An obesity and diabetes epidemic and lousy tasting sodas are a small price to pay for MORE PROFITS for the FOOD INDUSTRY.
Pumping hormones and antibiotics into animals which we not only eat, but feed to our children shows exactly how much these people care about health. You saw the video for the downer cows being forklifted? What is a little tainted meat for school children when compared to the loss of income if a cow was deemed "inedible".
You are what you eat, speaking of DOWNER COWS and MAD COW.
Well, at least there is a bright side to all this. At some point in the near future, mosquitos will probably have to think twice before they dine on one of us.
That is what it is called and it is carefully planned and has been a long term project initiated in the 1980s using news media and the entertainment industry to program people to prey upon each other.
Remember, "Miami Vice"? Great way to market an entire lifestyle to kids watching tv. At the same time the white house was used as a base for drug smuggling first to Homestead Airforce Base in Florida and then to Mena Arkansas, with Clinton working with Bush as partners in crime.
I don't think the pictures will do any good as much worse passes for entertainment and psychopathy is now the new norm of mental health. (no pills to treat it i guess so it is OK)
People do not care anymore. Last night a drunk was threatening people at the local shopping center outside of a shoe store. I asked the manager to call the cops before someone got hurt. Five minutes later I asked her if she had called them and she said no so I went next door and had that manager call the cops and he did. When I went back out, the beligerent drunk had taken up residence in the shoe store where he remained until the police came about 25 minutes later. The manger of the shoe store decided to call for help when it was her problem. Otherwise she didn't care one bit about someone threatening people in front of her store.
People will not care until it is a family member or a friend who is killed and then that really doesn't do any good. The democrats and republicans and their corporate masters have flushed america down the tubes. Enjoy the free fall.

it's a rhetorical question. There is no american press.
Such drama, such excitement, such smoke.
Three very bad choices and no solutions.
You really cannot blame them, in washington dc snitches and witnesses get killed.
The police are not there to protect people and some people actually realize that so why cooperate when all you are doing is putting a target on your chest. How many people have good experiences with law enforcement versus how many have had bad experiences with law enforcement?
People have been taught to act this way. Why?
Maybe it is because america has been taught to be the biggest and baddest thug on the block.
As above, so below.
The real criminals are in the white house and congress and they are much bigger fish..
It is really all about the sales commission and short term profits. They sell our technology, our machines, our factories, our jobs, the value of our currency and our future, but you can't beat the commissions and oh those short term profits.
I can understand herding reporters into a toilet, but letting them out?
That was a screw up.
"But a Clinton spokesman Doug Hattaway said: "These accommodations should in no way be taken as a comment on the quality of our media coverage.""

SNL probably gave them some ideas.
