i don't neccessarily disagree with the entire posting, but i find statements
such as this kind of worrying:
>
> When seemingly nine out of ten 'popular' movies are so strikingly similar
> (esp. Will Smith, Bruce Willis, et al), I have a problem calling them
> interesting. People go because they are told to,
people go because they're told to? this seems to accord more power to the
studios than they deserve, in assuming they 'tell' people what to do. people go
to the cinema for a number of reasons, which i probably don't need to go into
here, being 'told to' not necessarily high on the list.
not to mention assuming people are mindless automata who are incapable of
viewing cinema with any independent thought.
