Yes, and the media tries to whitewash this all the time by talking about ticket “revenue”. They don’t want to give us the reality.

“What’s a movie theater?”

Last year marked the second year that my wife and I didn’t see a single movie in a movie theater.

In fact we have watched an American made movie on our tv for years. One of the reasons to cut our cable was the added cost of the movie channels to our Comcast bill. Movie channels, we never watched and yet paid for.

Our lack of movie attendance or watching at home is similar to our lack of National Felon League watching on our TV since last year’s Colon cancer attack.

Yes, but I wonder if the difference is made up on international ticket sales? I actually think movies are generally better these days, hate me for saying that. But it is not the ones that win awards. Sin City, 300, Beowulf, Watchmen, Xmen series, Avengers series, Planet of the Apes....maybe there is a pattern there. Sci Fi and Fantasy have come a long way.

Actually with the level of sophistication in CGI technology today, real actors and actresses are obsolete. I know that Hollyweird cannot appropriate known faces and names, but I am waiting for the arrival of new “STARS” that are not people at all. The technology certainly exits today to make a full feature film without any real people and I would wager that you cannot even tell if they are real or CGI made up.

That is not a misspelling. Theatre is how it is spelled in England.

Without horror movies over peforming, it would have been much worse.

I like to go to movies in the early afternoon M-F and listen to a senior woman explain every line of dialogue to her clueless deaf husband as if they were home alone watching on their couch. Great stuff. i will die in a theatre asking someone to shut up of shut down their cell screen.

NO MORE LEFT OVERS.

The audience is spoon fed mush, warmed up mush leftovers, and liberal bile. UGH!

A new remake of an old film. We’ve seen the original, no need for the duplicate.

Political agenda - we live with it, know how it plays. WE WILL NOT pay for it a second time.

Hollywood has lost its magic, its writers, and many of its star quality actors have died.

It will not go quietly, demanding a large wake when the inevitable eventually occurs.

Liberals - they make a S***Hole of EVERYTHING
