This weeks question was, what state do you think the movie industry is in? and i got some really good responses from the question and you can have a little look at them below.

I see the film industry riding the crest of the 3D wave still, it's turned the experience you *can* get at home into something more special. I went to see Avatar in 3D because I knew I wouldn't be able to get close to that experience at home. No matter what your opinion of 3D is, it has had a huge influence on cinema ticket sales. Which is a good thing. Regardless Also - more and more indie movies seem to be getting recognition thanks to Twitter/Facebook etc... Viral marketing made easy.
In summary - cinemas are doing better, Blu-rays are selling better, movies are an 'experience' again... will it last though?
The recession has been a huge help, but as home tech gets cheaper, how long until the 3D cinema experience is no longer unique?

I think the movie industry is doing too much of the same thing. Far too commercial now me thinks.

I think the movie industry is in a great state. There might be a ton of redundancy in form of sequels, but redundancy has always been a part of any art. It's not like you don't have a choice. In fact there has never been a time w/ more choices then now! You can go and watch TF3 but you can also go and see the new Terrence Malick movie.
Piracy numbers only hurt the dreams of CEO's who think that those numbers translate 1to1 to cash.
3D is debatable though! If it stays the way it is right now it's going to be a fad, b/c it's not a true technical revolution you sacrifice image quality for the 3D effect. A real technical revolution would be the change from 24fps to 48 or 60fps & a higher resolution! Games proof that higher fps do make a difference. If it does on your 42inch imagine what it would do on a giant cinema screen! There is also the question how broadband for everyone will change the media landscape.
de Kerckhove predicted in 1997 that the web will be moving us from an era of replay to an era of remake and if you take a look at youtube I'm sure we're already there. The question is will it be everyone or just a minority?

i think its doing ok, new movies are still making big bucks at the box office, our local cineworld has cut staff drastically though.
These are just a few of the response i got to hear more go and listen to my show here and also enjoy some of the music i play as well.
