Movies As Free Advertising For Companies Poem by Ian (John) McCleary (Son of the Cleric)

The movie industry acts as a promotional tool for companies like Mattel and Nike. It is in the business of not making movies as an art form. It is selling product everytime a movie based on a video game or comic book is released. While children and adults are drawn to seeing movies like this, it is also a bit disillusioning to see movies of this kind produced and the lack of creativity involved in coming up with them.
But as if we had no choice we continue to give them revenue, as if we were incapable ourselves of our own creative entertainment.
