Hooray For Hollywood (Box Set)

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: See Below

...to shock-because there were so many of them out there from mainstream Hollywood. Waters speaks truly. Don't waste your time with this, there are far too many good films that have and will be made about young people. When you pay to see stuff like this, it is the same as rewarding the folks who write obscene sayings on bathroom stalls. And up until 2001 were rewarded to the total tune of 201 plus million in total box-office receipts and video rentals and sales etcetera, that a hell of a lot of titillation. I would not be surprised if American Pie's producers were tops in this department while in high school. The DVD itself: Picture & Sound: Well, the DVD is Anamorphic Widescreen.

...This movie has become one of my favourite movies ever made because it is so unlike a Hollywood movie. Most films supported by a Hollywood studio are made to make money, this does not seem to be the case for Fight Club however. The movie didn't even make enough money in the box office to cover the cost of making and promoting it, however this happens to many films, the real way of making money is product placement and merchandise.
