Nobody's worried, just citing their opinions. As for me, I never saw the movie. Movies, along with sports and television are entertainment there to take you away from economics and politics.
One movie I did see was Stripes. "Lighten up, Francis" .....you need to Dude.

That the trend...You can do a US$150M movie at the cost of US$13M

It cuts both ways. Jobs lost in the states....and moves to the cheaper India.

....and Indian smaller companies getting competitions from a bigger funded Western companies with global establish marketing channels.

This is just a minute symptom of BIG Corps taking over globalization.

Wow! I stumbled over this page and is truly alarmed that art created to distract from the realities of our rough world is being misunderstood. Stop the negativity and get out of your boxes please. Live a little.

Bollywood movies would be okay if they would just hire some professional sound engineers. The musical score and audio dubs in Bollywood movies are so bad it makes me cringe.

Indians audiences probably don't notice this because they grew up listening to such crappy sound quality. I think Amercian audiences won't settle for it and it will continue to be rejected.

Even though I don't speak Spanish or Chinese, I like watching latino and chinese movies because the sound quality is often as good as movies made by Hollywood.

That's my two cents on the subject.

Indian actresses put our actresses to shame:

so cute and really feminine...everything a guy could possibly want, hehe
Nothing is wrong with western women. Physically they are still lovely.

...but physiologically...they are under stress.

The demand for Man & Woman equality is taking its toll on both sides. When women assumed equality and took the functional role of men...the women in high possibility may lost their femininity.

When they hold the functional role, accountability and took charge...they become masculine (behavior wise)...and this may turned-off most "real" masculine men. It is negative-positive / north-south poles sort of analogy.

Future generations would potentially be worst as:
"Masculine" husbands and "passive feminine" wives produces "masculine" sons and "passive feminine" daughters, but....
"Masculine" wives and "passive" husbands produces "masculine" daughters and "passive feminine" sons

This is potentially dangerous. What is next?:
Homo sexuality is usually a resulting symptom of this

We are not looking at a huge depression...Stop believing everything you see on the internet...Besides, people need to have a little relaxation and if chatting about silly stuff like this makes people feel better about the hard times we're in, then who is it hurting?

I wish Hollywood would return to Hollywood and stay out of Washington. Every time Sean Penn, Alic Baldnut or Jamie Lee Curtis opens their mouths I cringe.
