movies

I agree, but I also think as part of the larger conversation about movies and cinemas it's pretty obvious how this fits in. People with enough money or sway can force their poorly conceived garbage down the public's throats long after it's clear it doesn't perform well. Hard for me to go along with the sympathy movie theaters are trying to drum up when there are plenty of local or indie movies I'd happily pay to see but instead they're screening this. Not to mention that articles like this, even though they're negative, prompt more conversation about the movie and may be the reason some people go and see it. It's a failure of capitalism in the microcosm. The market decided this was bad, but capital does not care. They will force it to the forefront out of sheer vanity.
