Leave comments and suggestions for producers, filmmakers, and the six major motion picture studios HERE!!
THIS is the site where YOU let "Hollywood" know what YOU think and feel about today's films and what you would like to see when you go to the movies.
We would like to HELP film producers and distributors know EXACTLY what you want to see when you go to the movies. We also wish to HELP motion picture exhibitors and associations such as (in the U.S.) The Allied States Association of Motion Picture Exhibitors and The National Association of Theatre Owners - http://www.NATOonline.org.
Here is a WORLDWIDE lisiting of theater chains: http://www.google.com/Top/Arts/Movies/Theaters/Theater_Chains/; and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cinema_and_movie_theater_chains.

We hope to provide you with DISCOUNTS and a FORUM to discuss your thoughts and feelings on movies.

WHY WAS THIS SITE CREATED?
Many in the motion picture industry have the same lament I have about the content of modern films: The stories told are in general, a basic rehashing of themes we've all seen too many times before, whether it be on the silver screen, or television. Although there have been films made in recent years whose story-lines would never have been considered to be made into films in years past, a basic analysis of many films will almost assuredly reveal a familiar formula.
The number of feature films distributed to theaters has greatly increased. The total number of films shown in theaters in 1998 was twice the figure it was in 1987. There are more "good" films out there as well as "average" ones, but our decision on what to see has become more complicated. We almost go to the movies reluctantly as we expect "the same old stuff."
The industry has become genre-driven as opposed to story-driven. Producers have relied more heavily on "star factor" (casting well-known, familiar actors or those who have had recent successes) which forces us, the viewing public, to see the same actors in what are increasingly - the same stories.
Do you agree with me? Did you know that major American studios utilize "creative committees" when determining which films to produce? The demographic group American studios target most? Males, aged 14 to 23.
Thank you so much for visiting!
