Citing the truly horrific recent success of
Valentine's Day as an example,
The Telegraph examined the effect that the popularity of video games is having on movies. As some studio executives see it, if more guys than ever have controllers in their hands, it doesn't leave much room for ticket stubs, meaning movies aimed at
the ladies are performing better than ever.
Hey Ladies: We just want to apologize that the game industry's inability to make titles you'd be interested in has forced you into watching movies that
are relevant to your interests but also very terrible. Hopefully one of these industries will wise up soon. That, or you'll learn to like movies about Jason Statham building a car that can transform into an explosion. Either way.
