    TWILIGHT RELEASES LACK OF INTEREST

    Which is my core point exactly...the mainstream audience the major studios are catering their demographics to AREN'T by and large interested in quality but convenience...the under-40 generation has bought the streaming marketing model hook, line and sinker and physical media is now the poor...
