If you really want a healthier theater industry:
Any other actions are attempts to distract from these two problems.
It’s already prohibited for them to own the movie theaters! And for good reason! It’s just that the US politicians have been too busy enacting fascism to update the law for streaming and TV.
Interesting - I did not know that! But that does confuse me a bit since Sony Pictures acquired the Alamo Drafthouse theater chain back in 2024
Ah turns out they removed that rule in 2020 🙃
Also make it 2005 again so people can't get a 50" widescreen TV for two hundred bucks.
Do people still call them widescreens? Aren't basically all tvs these days widescreen? Do they still make ones that are square shaped?
Probably? Maybe? Just thought it was worth rolling out the adjective since it was comparing to the before-times. :-)
