Hollywood vs. Internet
Is downloading killing Hollywood or could it be the path to new beginnings? No, Internet is not Killing Hollywood not when it comes to cinema. Cinema has been standing still slightly for the last decade with no new ground breaking technology since the ability to create photo-realistic digital effects and digital projection besides 3D which has proved to be more of a gimmick that is warming out its welcome among film-goers.
Internet needs Hollywood in order to have great movies to download. Internet is also used to commercialize trailers for Hollywood. People still like going to the movies, not just for the film’s sake but also cause it are a couple and group activity. However when it comes to everyday movies that you rent in your local blockbuster, yes downloading is easier. If you could choose between downloading a movie for free at home, or get dressed, get out, take the bus or drive somewhere, pay for the move and interact with other human beings on a shitty day, what would you do? Of course you choose to stay home, it saves you bus fare / petrol money and you can do it in your underwear.
