Though I never lived through them, I think I miss the studio days when the buzz around a movie or a celebrity&#8217;s image was carefully controlled. At the very least, I&#8217;d like to go back to a time before the Internet when behind-the-camera movie gossip wasn&#8217;t dressed up as breaking news.

That&#8217;s too bad because, according to a boring business report in Variety, it cost $49.2 million on average for one of the studios&#8217; specialty divisions to crank out a movie in 2007. That&#8217;s a 60% increase over 2006. Meanwhile, marketing jumped 44% to $25.7 million.

Now playing in a living room near you 
The death of theatrically distributed films has been rumored for ages; probably since the rise of television. Maybe longer. TV hasn&#8217;t killed it. Sticky floors, bad projection, uncomfortable seats and noisy audiences haven&#8217;t killed it; VHS and DVD haven&#8217;t killed it.
The latest threat to your local movie theater is [...]]]></description>

Ellen Page in Juno
From time to time I like to take a look at what other people are saying about a movie I&#8217;ve reviewed, especially when my opinion doesn&#8217;t seem to match up with the majority. This week I think it&#8217;s about time I owned up to my minority stand by examining the Juno Juggernaut.

I don&#8217;t like to talk about box office totals much because they&#8217;re a meaningless measure of a film&#8217;s quality. On the other hand, in context they&#8217;re a good indicator of the public&#8217;s acceptance of this or that movie and when a movie I love tanks, I want to know why.
