Unfortunately
the CONSPIRACY didn't do as badly as we'd hoped, but we're thinking the slump may continue until December, when all the CGI comes out and the "comparisons" aren't too bad. But we'll say it again: the "movies" are no longer a mass medium, and eventually the same crowd that keeps banging its heads for pleasure
must get smaller.
P. S. Practically every NEWS HACK in creation must have come out for
THE KNIGHTING OF ST. EDWARD OF MURROW. We guess there hasn't been so much concentrated agreement (and humorlessness) since
the Nuremberg rallies. We'd further guess not ONE person at any of the eleven theaters knew ANYBODY who voted for DUBYA. SIEG HEIL!
Or should I say,
"THE FAULT, DEAR BRUTUS...."No, news hacks HAVE no faults.
P. P. S.
Another IMMORTAL movie, this one about one of the GREATEST WRITERS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, doubled its outlets and increased its gross by only 27 percent. Hacks, PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR FAVORITES NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU HUG YOURSELVES.
