Movies for Adults – Why Hollywood won’t make them anytime soon. By Edward Jay Epstein
Here’s the money quote:
The drop in the audience in 2005 is hardly a new phenomenon. Since the advent of television in 1948, the movie audience has declined in most years. Annual ticket sales have fallen from 4.6 billion tickets in 1948 to 1.6 billion last year, even though the U.S. population has doubled.
Regarding news, I’m getting an even amount from the Internet and magazines, but I watch almost no TV. With my hobby of reefkeeping, almost all my knowledge is from the Internet these days.
