Cracked quote

By Eric Robinette | Tuesday, March 21, 2006, 03:38 PM

I found this doozy of a quote in a USA Today story on the state of movie theaters.

“The movie business is a little like the drug business,” says Greg Laemmle, president of Laemmle Theaters, which operates 16 theaters in Southern California.

“We are the pushers, and our customers are the users. Even if business is good, you have to keep giving people what they want.”

Considering the quality (cough) of movies this year, that gives a whole new meaning to the term drug abuse, doesn’t it?

What an interesting way to portray the industry. I guess I agree a bit. I like what I like. I see movies I like because I want to! Can I live without movies? NO WAY! So I must be adicted.

Does that make those stupid movie ads the baby powder of the movie business?
