    Because you may have an idea for a campy space opera and the three largest movie studios pass so one of the biggest franchises in cinema history never gets made; Harrison Ford remains a really good carpenter, the Indiana Jones trilogy never happens and an entire generation of nerds never gets into animation or graphic design. Industrial Light and Magic? Never exists. Terminator 2, Jurassic Park etc etc never come to be. That's why consolidation in any industry is bad.

        I truly believe the answer to the question of "why are we here?" is "so Road House gets made"

        I wont get too deep into it but I went to the advance screening of Justice League tonight. I enjoyed the heck out of it. It is a fun popcorn superhero flick that doesnt try to be anything but that. Scooby I hope you like it

              Saw Murder on the Orient Express last night. Enjoyed it immensely. Lush scenery and costuming, good acting (for the most part).

                    It's good to see the Golden Globes has seen fit to nominate the side-splitting Get Out for Best Comedy. That was a laugh a minute.

                      It looks to me as though the movie's producers made the strategic category choice to run against a weaker field. It worked for The Martian which won "Best Comedy or Musical."

                      Apparently SF and Horror do not get respect when they run in the Drama category.

                          Plan Del Fuga (Getaway Plan):

                          A thief expert with blowtorch is hired by a group of the Russian mob for a bank assault.

                          Good flick. One twist was revealed a bit too early, but it panned out. Nice little heist movie. The ending has you wondering a bit, and in most cases I don't like that, but in this case, it works. It depends on how you interpret the main character
                          Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                              I am against this. Don't mess with a classic.
