I recently had correspondence with the producers of A Billion Lives and asked a question as to why the excellent doco A Billion Lives is not available on line as a pay per view event. His reply was that it is that is the way the Hollywood Stuidios want it. My reply was as follows:
I appreciate the fact that you and your production team are doing an excellent job. However the Studio Moguls for whom you work are not interested in having you excellent film released to the global market and only want to reap profits from Box Office attendances. This to me and others makes no sense in view of advances in technology.
I am sure you are aware that movie theaters like dinosaurs are facing extinction, it is the era of wide screen plasma t.v’s and home movie systems.
How many DVD rental shops have closed their doors as people are renting movies on line like Google Movies where you pay for a pay per view event and not have to worry to return the DVD on time?
I am one of them.
Why should people attend movie theaters where you are packed in like sardines in a can when you can and pay for the privilege?
Why should we be told that you cannot vape in a movie theater, enjoy a beer or another alcoholic beverage when you watch a movie of your choice?
I make now apology when I say to hell with movie theaters and their owners and management
My family and I last attended a movie theatre when thefinal episode of Harry Potter was released and vowed never to go to a movie theatre again. People are not cattle to be herded in queues or corals. Nor do we appreciate being exposed to infectious diseases like the common cold that some sneezing and coughing person may have sitting next to us. Then one has to find parking and in our case pay for parking.
What is the difference in paying Box Office prices for Pay per View events on line. I am sure your Hollywood studios would reap the same profits especially if the pay for view event would be the same price as a Box Office admission price.
I am one who does not deliberately go out of my way to be rude to people but sometimes ‘Shock Therapy is needed’
That dear Aron, is why I say screw Hollywood. I also suspect that some of the studio owners have shares in tobacco companies and pharmaceutical companies that are bitterly opposed to e-cigarettes and therefore are implementing a policy that you mention. i.e. when they do the movie theatre rounds.
How many more people will die before they are allowed to view your excellent movie online in a method I mentioned above?
Profit before Human Life Aron?
