My daughter is heading to only her 2nd movie in a theater at the ripe old age of 4. However she has consumed tons of DVD's. She's very excited to see Cars, a G rated movie that is sure to please the whole family. I wish that you and your stogey old suits would open your eyes and realize that the time to market the DVD for this movie is NOW. Include the DVD price in the movie ticket as an option and allow the movie goers to pick up the DVD on their way out.
Would this cannibalize the need for multiple trips to the theater? Yup. Will my family of 4 make multiple trips to the theater to see that movie let alone any others? Nope. Could it drive more people into the theater for their chance to have the DVD? You bet.
You could have my $$ now, or you can put together a campaign to waste millions of dollars in 4-6 months trying to convince me to buy your DVD. Your choice.
Sincerely,
Father of 2 young DVD watching kids.

WC Rant ...
Dear FIFA World Cup officials,
Please feel free to instruct the hapless men in the "middle" to keep the yellow and red card in their pocket unless someone has lost a limb. This cup has been marred by incompetent referees taking it upon themselves to change the outcome of games. Let the players play. If anything, start handing out cards for excessive "simulation".
I know I'll sound like an old codger with this one, but for cripes sake, can you PLEASE tuck your shirts in? If the hoodlums in the NBA can keep their shirts tucked in, I think the players in the world cup can as well.
That being said ... I think we have been treated to some HUGE moments so far. Shaka Hislop comes to mind. Ghana exposing the Czech's as old and slow. USA exposing themselves as unable to overcome the bad luck that was somehow laid upon them. Amazing goals from all over the pitch.
Thank you to Germany for being a good host so far.
I'm sure we have great things to come, and I sincerely hope that we don't have to remember this cup as the one that the referees ruined.
