Does anyone know what happened to the music in the Los Angeles Times Calendar section? Outside of Thursday's Calendar Weekend supplement, there seems to be nothing. And how many articles can one paper run on why people don't go to the movies anymore? It's obvious, nobody wants to pay $10 to sit through twenty minutes (seriously, I timed it at the last Star Wars installment) of commercials for some movie that must have been written by monkeys and stars a bunch of folks who are better at posing for Vogue covers and ending up in tabloids than at acting. Oh, and let's not forget how no feature is complete without the pre-film lecture from thespian Ben Affleck on how downloading films hurts people. Y'know, like him and a bunch of others who make over a million per film and still don't have to pay for their clothes. Note to Hollywood: Make a good movie and people might pay to see it.
Right now, I would rather read another piece comparing Bright Eyes to Bob Dylan than have to go through film industry editorials and celebrity lifestyle pieces that litter Calendar. Please, someone, hear my prayer and bring back the music.
