Bigger than Hollywood ?

You're about to see a sneak preview of the biggest blockbuster of all time. And no, you won't find Cruise, Kidman or Pitt in the credits. It's a video game called Halo 2, due for release next month. It's the latest epic from an industry that's even bigger than Hollywood, worth at least $40 billion a year. Just one title, The Sims, for instance can rack up a billion in sales, so you can see why the geeks at Sony and Microsoft are rubbing their hands with glee. And don't think this is just kids' stuff. This is a global entertainment revolution, and it's taking over all our lives.

Maybe because the movies out there are nothing but mind numbng trash that a 6 year old could concieve better?

Halo, for example, was more entertaining than any movie I've ever watched. And the cinematics made it interesting. PLus, sometimes you have to think in games... heaven forbid you think in a movie, you'd probably find a major plot hole.

I don't know... but then, most of the movies I watch are older ones.

Patton, Star Trek movies, the original Star Wars trilogy.

Heck, other than Insurrection the most recent thing I've seen is probably Finding Forrester, which was actually a very good movie.
