As someone who thinks that he knows something, I am deeply concerned about corporate dishonesty. A number of months ago the Walt Disney Company announced that they were coming out with a movie starring Hannah Montana/ Miley Cirus, that was only going to play for one week and one week only. Now to the dismay of this author, that film is going on its 3rd week.
I am not one to complain about people making money, that is the name of the game, but the fact is that if they said "one week and only one week" that means that. Don't give me the "held over by popular demand". You knew that the film is going to be popular. You are charging a galling $15 DOLLARS A ticket. If that is not highway robbery, then what is?
I am all for Miley Cirus or Hannah Montana, but after her family said that she is not going to end up like Jamie Lynn Spears, this fact really disturbes me. For one thing DON'T BE SO FUCKING GREEDY and tell Disney that they should only charge a $2.00 premium, because of the 3d and the cost of the glasses from China. But this $15 bull shit. Families are struggling, and ripping people off is not the American Way

One Week.
One Week Only.
Held Over for Third Week.
Weak.
If anybody would know what is galling, it would be you, Mr. O'Malley. You are absolutely right about the dishonesty displayed by the Disney corporation. They knew damn well that it would play for longer than one week, but what better way to drum up demand and ticket sales. If Disney knows one thing it is how to make money.
My question to you is: Did you like the movie? Was it worth the $15.00? I know you have stated on this blog that you admire the franchise and its ability to stand head and shoulders over the Spears family, but I have a guilty confession to make. While there is no question that Miley Cyrus looks like your average teenage kid, sometimes her alter-ego, Hannah Montana looks like a very grown up blonde rock star. Sometimes this makes me a little uncomfortable. Any comments?
