Studios love 3D because they can charge 150% of normal ticket prices. Studios also need to innovate something to get people back in the theaters. It's much cheaper for the consumer to invest in a 50" HDTV (which they'll use for TV and games anyway). Then wait for the sheep to ... pay $15-10 per person + $8 Coke + $10 popcorn, wait in line to get a decent seat, and hope there are no inconsiderate people talking or throwing popcorn. Read reviews from the sheep (not paid critics), wait a few months for the DVD, bluray release or a netflix stream. Then watch in the comfort of your own home have have a nice home cooked meal or a $5 pizza! I admit that I am one of those sheep occasionally, but I wait for films that I know I'll like, and I don't buy the popcorn.

Decency Group Says "$#*!" Is Indecent 821

The Parents Television Council says the "$#*!" in the title of the upcoming CBS show $#*! my dad says is indecent. From the article: "'CBS intentionally chose to insert an expletive into the actual name of a show, and, despite its claim that the word will be bleeped, it is just CBS's latest demonstration of its contempt for families and the public,' declared PTC President Tim Winter. 'There are an infinite number of alternatives that CBS could have chosen, but its desire to shock and offend is crystal clear in this decision.'" By this logic Qbert was the filthiest game ever made.
