    I'm addicted to Disneyland. Disneyland hobbies are expensive. If I become a bum people are going to say "Don't give him money, he's just gonna use it on Disneyland."

    Sounds like Disney is having the next big corporate duel with AMC (in the vein of Fox and Time Warner) over what else? Money. Disney is trying to shorten the window between theatrical release and DVD release but theater houses are not happy about it. In fact, AMC Entertainment, the nation's second-largest theater operator, is threatening to not carry the film which could potentially mean millions of dollars lost on that oh-so important opening weekend.

    In one way I side with AMC... as the film should stay in theatres (I'm a firm believer that the film industry will be changing soon and that we as consumers somehow need to save what the movie experience as we know it is...)

    But... the other part of me wants AMC to suffer... as they sold their souls out with supporting the liemax theatres they've been installing...

    It's also kinda funny from the AP perspective that AMC has theaters in both DownTown Disneys.

    Really, AMC? How much money is there going to be left to be made when it's in its 12th week of release? And even then, people will still pay to see the movie in IMAX 3D. The DVD or Blu-Ray isn't going to give the same experience.

    Apart from that window being smaller as an advantage to the consumer, I'm not forseeing AMC getting a whole lot of sympathy considering how much ticket prices are these days anyway, ESPECIALLY with the liemax. I was so upset when I went to see Day the Earth Stood Still in "I-Max" and it was a regular sized screen.

    Separate topic: Is it me or is this movie's plot starting to smell like Return to OZ?

    And Narnia, as tiki mentioned a while back. Hopefully the similarities won't come off as too jarring.
    Yes, our world has indeed become a world of motion. We have engineered marvels that take us swiftly over land and sea, through the air, and into space itself. And still bolder and better ideas are yet to come. Ideas that will fulfill our age old dream to be free. Free in mind. Free in spirit. Free to follow the distant star of our ancestors to a brighter tomorrow. - World of Motion (1982-1996)

    Eh... Narnia wasn't ever portrayed as a "dream" to the kids. Would seem that Oz would be more fitting, with the journey to the fake place being possibly just a delusion.
