The future of how people will watch new movies via social media

I believe that new movies will have a set time and date on their release in the future and not only can you watch them at the movie theatre, but you can also pay to watch them streaming at your home TV. This is going to kill the movie theatre business, but people want the comfort of watching movies in their own homes, plan and simple. The film companies are going to have to cut out the middle man (theatre companies) to fight off all the piracy that the majors are losing money to. How will the movie theatre’s survive then? They wont I think this new business model will kill them and for them to accept this new distribution model, the major film companies are going to have to buy out the theatre companies or this will never happen. But, just think when the new film is coming out you can sit down with your family or friends you can drink, eat, smoke, etc. whatever makes you comfortable in your own house and watch the newest release as it comes out that day from your television and your couch. Now that is beautiful, don’t you think? Then there is no reason for piracy, if the price is right. Good old Bob Barker. The movies will have to be distributed through social media via Facebook and Twitter allowing you to share, comment, like, etc. So, the price for watching these films is the real issue for it will be up to the people to watch and decide, so it's up to Hollywood to make good movies! The people will be the rating system instead of film critics, cause in a way aren't we all critics?

The death of sequels! Birth to Trilogies!

Now i don't know how many of you saw the Hangover 2, but don't waste your money please. Me being a huge fan of the first Hangover  for it seemed that Hollywood finally got it right, but is a sequel really the right choice in this situation. Money wise... I would say yes for everyone loved the first one, why wouldn't the spend money on the second one. Film wise... Hell No! The to films were absolutely identical in there structures, besides a drug dealing monkey (which was pretty cool).  The bigger question will there be a third? For a film like the Hangover only comes around every ten years. The film that comes to mind is, "Animal House" for it would have ruined the first one if they would have made another right after the first. Sure there would be a whole new cast and different ideas, but we've seen that before! The second Hangover definitely made me wish for my money back and I don't recommend anyone seeing it even bootleg for the disappointment is so bad it hurts the image of the first Hangover.
There's a new, "Planet of the Apes" movie coming out which if your going to remake such a huge film it's better to release it knowing that it's going to be a trilogy or more for the anticipation is there knowing there is still more to come. The Hangover did this wrong and that's why it sucked! The new, "Planet of the Apes" film reminded me of "Jurassic Park", but better! Can't wait!
