Every decade or so, Hollywood comes up with a plot to get people to return to movie theaters. Well made movies that don't lecture or present an agenda or substitute quality and excellence with over-the-top special effects and mind-numbing violence. That's what will get traditional movie goers to return.

Now, even when there might be an occasional such movie, it gets next to no publicity or screens. Meanwhile, the latest movie about comic book characters blowing each other up can have six screens!

Young people go out to get out of the house and be entertained. Now, though, if you have a decent house and tv, there are better and longer stories to watch at home.
