Questioning the assumptions that govern our culture, this book
focuses on one medium -- the movies. In particular, it examines how
movies are packaged, distributed, and promoted, exposing industry
secrets such as how Miramax often buys distribution rights to
movies it then fails to distribute, presumably to make sure its
competitors don't get them. The book shows, for the first time, how
the corporate ownership of movie theatres defies antitrust laws and
precedents stretching back over 50 years. While the average
American can usually find a book or record that has not been
endorsed by the mainstream media, when it comes to movies,
consumers are powerless against what Rosenbaum calls 'the
media-industrial complex'.
