Youch! Talk about editorial - these articals are loaded with emotional inaccuracies. Since when does record profits mean that 8 out of 10 aren't losers? It could just mean that the other 2 made loads of money.

Of course, I notice he's only talking about theatre profits - and he doesn't mention if any of those 10 were never released in theatres (direct-to-video or made for TV).

I do like the comment that they see the entire public sector as a load of criminals because they are themselves criminals. I'm all with that. They view me as a criminal, and I certainly view them as criminals.
