so, what do you see happening in the worlds of media and entertainment for 2005? new tv show themes? new movie rating system? any actor deaths? books or old shows becoming movies? box office records? actors or actresses getting a big "push"?
Paris Hilton contracts aids.
I predict:
A number of big budget movies will fail to live up to their hype and will "disappoint" at the box office.
FOX will continue to crank out crappy reality shows.
NBC will continue to crank out Law and Order spinoffs
CBS will continue to crank out CSI spinoffs.
ABC will start cranking out "Desperate Housewives" spinoffs.
The recording industry will continue to blame illegal downloading, and not crappy product, for its continued troubles.
Revenge of the Sith will get a PG-13 rating and will be the highest grossing film of the year, followed by Batman.
The networks will finally realize that 90% of reality shows suck. They will replace them with rip-ffs of Lost and Desperate housewifes. And more CSI type shows.
Topher Grace will become the next big male star.
Atlas Shrugged the movie will begin production.
Satellite radio will continue to grow and eventually replace FM and AM radio.

Nope. Just as cable hasn't replaced broadcast TV, satellite will never replace AM/FM.
