I can tell if a movie is going to be good by the opening music.  If it is wild and crazy, it tells me that the people who made the movie are very young and attempting to appeal to people of the same age as themselves.  If, however, the music is more refined, it shows that some serious thought was put into the feel of the movie and therefore attempting to appeal to a more cerebral audience.

Upon entering the movie theatre, if I smell dirty carpet before I smell the popcorn, I know they’re losing money and may not be around much longer. The owners are juggling the management personnel around in feeble attempts to keep it afloat.

I should think that for businesses in trouble, instead of going into Chapter 13 or filing for bankruptcy there should be a spray can they could use, not unlike the spray a bowling alley uses on their rental shoes.  But instead of being a broad-spectrum disinfectant, it would be a mental rejuvenator applied directly onto existing management, being sure to cover them head to toe.

Even after the initial application, general grumbling would stop and financial innovations would surface into conversations.  A teamwork environment would form with a common goal of improving profit.  Businesses would be saved with little or no involvement from the owners.

I know I started this post by judging movies by their opening music, and then just kind of wandered into saving a business through a chemical spray, (yet to be invented).  This unfortunate rambling is the result of Blog-fog.  It is a condition that affects 4 out of every 5 Bloggers.  As of yet there is no known cure.  I anticipate some day there will be telethons running on PBS asking for donations, but until that time, simply skip over these odd posts.
