    mainstream blah blah

    Never liked Zombie flicks... Vestal's attitude tells me, may be a different flick, same alternative movie Director attitude, "I'm too good for you," and ironically, don't "get us," either. Didn't like Goths in High School... too much drama and white makeup, still is. Good thing I wasn't planning on seeing this anyway. Sadly, In spite of friend's initial positive reflections on the flick, find Vestal's politics too simplistic and mainstream knee-jerk for my tastes.

    I'll download movies I wasn't planning on watching in the theater or on disc anyway, but is often what leads me to buy the disc or on rare occasion, see on the "big screen." Time for the Hollywood mainstream to either embrace new technology or leave it to the digerati and stop complaining if they think the decline in traditional viewership is in some way related to more desirable modern alternatives.

    Doesn't seem like traditional distribution has really been negatively impacted, but if mainstream media can't figure out how to deliver content the way consumers want it, shut the hell up if folks use more desirable avenues that Hollywood artificially prevents rather than figuring out their own way to entice viewers and make the experience worthwhile.

    Our flapping forefathers with the tilt-a-whirl would be disappointed.
