lights out

Boy does this make me feel like I've got a case of deja vu. Four years ago, I was harping about all the street lights out in Shreveport.

This has been one of the strangest summers in recent memory when it comes to box office analysis, not because so many high profile movies have disappointed (although that has certainly been interesting), but because so many new releases are hanging out in the grey zone between hit and misfire. In an era where the success of so many movies is determined purely by opening weekend numbers, we’ve spent the past few months watching as movies has defied expectations after a weak opening or rode a solid opening into oblivion. The cut-and-dried successes can be counted on one hand.

There's been plenty of discussion about the lights out on the Texas Street Bridge (Neon Bridge), but you don't hear much about lighting on the major interstate in Shreveport.
