As Toto has blogged before, technological advances in home theatre coupled with Hollywood mediocrity multiplied by ever-more expensive movie nights equals little incentive to go the movies - once a long-standing American tradition. ~ D.

We get a new original movie franchise and it's anti-American anti-technology pro-tree hugger primativist dreck. And popular enough that it will spawn endless sequels.
