Picturehouse, WIP RIP

Warner Bros. has put the locks on Picturehouse and Warner Independent Pictures.

The "specialty" divisions have presented great films such as Picturehouse's La Vie en Rose, Pan's Labyrinth and the upcoming Mongol, and WIP's The Painted Veil, A Very Long Engagement and Paradise Now.

Good riddance. Mindless schlock is where it's at.

Whew! That means my dream of "What Happens in Vegas II" is one step closer to reality.

My long-time habit of "Friday Night at the Movies" is rapidly coming to an end, as it is getting harder and harder to find anything worth viewing at the small-town "cineplex" (8 screens) available to us. Judging from Warner's action, it is not just locally that quality films are not being supported with viewer-ship. What a sad thought for what this portends for the state of "culture" in America!!!
