This is a conversation that I have everyday sometimes only with myself. I know the reason why it just makes no logical sense how this keep going on year after year.

I was excited to see the headline in the Times yesterday, but after reading the article, I too could see that 16% better than dismal is still pretty bad. In my family of 4, I read the reviews and decide every movie we see. Are movies made to appeal to me, or advertised to me? Rarely. But the fact is, my husband doesn't have the time to go to a movie on his own. And my children are too young to go without me. Women are the gatekeepers of the entertainment choices for the family. When will the studios get it? You’re absolutely right, Melissa.
