Will Chick-Flicks Dominate the Future of TV and Cinema?
TV execs are now often lamementing the fact that young men are not watching much TV anymore. I guess, they, like myself, are too busy playing video games. Of course, we still go to the movies occasionally, and I sometimes watch TV, but in my case it's usually to be with my wife. If left entirely to my own devices, I stick to video-gaming devices.
Women play games too, but this isn't as big a threat to the emotional films derided as being 'Chick-Flicks'. After all, violence, warfare, racing, and other macho mayhem are much easier to simulate than the richly textured emotions of movies that are built around dialog rather than action. Some games do have intelligent, emotional stories, but, like in a movie, the emotion is pre-recorded, while in a good action game, the action is as much a creation of the player as of the developer.
Give it up 'Governator', Oprah and Playstation will render you obsolete.
