Anti Tech Oscar Favorite Losing At Box Office

The big story on Oscar Sunday is the thought that "The Artist" will win best picture & possibly best actor. Yes a movie that uses 1920's technology: silent & black & white. Supposedly a really good film.

But no one is seeing it. The box office take even after a big weekend is 31.9 million. That's chickenfeed in blockbuster Hollywood. But actually most of the nominees have made around that much including "The Descendants" & "Hugo".

What does this mean for tech lovers? That more & more films will be big, loud CGI movies. Well, except for that navy seals film that made the most money this week. Meanwhile Blockbuster has announced that they will be closing even more locations. Oh well.
