there is a place on line and at every theatre where they sell tickets. No one forces anyone to buy or not buy tickets. there are dozens of onlone streaming options.

It’s a shame Teddy was a progressive. But at least he wasn’t an over-the-moon leftoid progressive. He insisted that we be loyal Americans who spoke English.

They can’t...writers no longer have any imagination, have lousy vocabularies, and so they turn to prequels, sequels, remakes, ghetto language, car crashes, outright pornography, CGI, badly rewritten “history”; all in all just utter garbage.

So maybe she should get off her dead ass and make a decent hollywood product for a change. Setting her crosshairs on clooney and penn might be a good start, but one suspects theirs are the kind of junk she espouses.

Sadly, you are correct.

Is she complimenting the movies with her reference to fracking?

I agree with her about too much crummy superhero crap, but the fracking analogy is asinine. Just what we can expect from Greenie Leftards.

I agree. That’s why I stay at home mostly and watch You Tube or buy what I want from Amazon or find an occasional goodie on Netflix. But it was really cool to take my kids to see Churchill at the movie house. A rarity for me.

Didn’t Jodie Foster star in Silence of the Bearded Clam?

Comic Book characters are great ‘entertainment’.....if people weren’t enjoying them they wouldn’t continue putting them out there...... They’re a great escape from serious issues facing the world where one can just relax and enjoy BEING entertained with fantasy and fun flicks.

Though I do not watch many the few I have with family members have been great.

Using my process of movie elimination leaves very few movies to attend: No hollywood history (think “Dances With Wolves,” “JFK” etc), biopics, political garbage, comic books or cartoons.

You know film making has hit a new quality low when the person running the CGI lab has more input than does the director, writers and actors combined.

Oh my God, another Hollywood elitist that feels they have the right through their mighty intellect and awesome edjumacation to dictate to all the unwashed and ignorant what is proper for them to watch as entertainment. What's a matter Jodi, not enough roles coming through for a semi attractive older condescending bitch type?

I, as well as a large segment of the population watch movies for escapism, there is plenty of drama and rotten reality all around us every day, so much so that we are loath to pay outrageous ticket prices to watch it on the big screen and support ridiculous paydays to people who despise us.

It's interesting how loud mouth elitist entitled athletes are discovering the same thing about the real America vs. the limited fantasy America they live in.

I’m truly excited about Entebbe in March. I hope it’s very good. It looks it from the trailer.

You and me both

Super heroes are politically correct engineering

And it gives ever feminized earning class males a projection of power they o longer have

Women as a super hero actually are better than men

And so forth

I won’t watch that crap
