I think there will always be theatres, just wondering how they're going to hand the revenue split with the studios when margins are squeezed. In good times, I wonder how the theatres are going to do.

If an athlete came to me and said he wanted to develop better athletic gear (think, Under Armor), then I'd say he/she has a good idea. He probably knows that audience well. He'd/she'd just need to get good people around to execute. @Sean Campo

I agree.

But think about, they really never had to make decisions on things like this. I mean, some get $5M at the age of 21. That's insane. Then they see their fellow players invest in this and that. See Jay-Z and Russell Simmons sell off their clothing lines for gobs of dough and think "I can do that too". What they don't realize is that some of these guys are excellent at spotting trends and get good people to execute - they can market the stuff themselves in some cases. Some of these guys mean well.

Think about it, the dot com thing happened a little while ago b/c everyone thought they could pick stocks w/o thinking. Some of these jocks have people whispering in their ears about how "this technology or business can change the world" - akin to some broker saying to a rookie investor about how "this technology or business can change the world".
