Make better movies, and maybe things would turn around.

I’m astounded there is any business for theaters at all these days. In the old days, the “big screen” was impressive.
Now it’s sitting in the corner of my living room.

You mean you don’t want to rush out and buy tickets to movies that would gag even 13 year old viewers? The best adjectives that I can come up with for the movie crop is idiotic, disgusting, stooopid, lame, moronic,. . . I think I need some help with a few more .

I stream from both Netflix and Amazon and far too often liberal content of TV shows and movies causes us to delete whatever we started watching because the content is anti-conservative, immoral or minus a cognizant plot. Liberal references in “The Good Wife” series to Sarah Palin and Obama got it readily delteted in my house.

I can't speak for everybody, but my absence from any local theater is my precaution against having to fumigate my house for bedbugs.

The Municipal health department is probably on strike.
In three years it's gone from really bad to intolerable.

I watched the new Hunger Games. It sucked. Of course I didn’t care for the ones before it much either.

All the GREAT MOVIES have already been made. I am now watching a FRITZ LANG movie WESTERN UNION with RANDOLPH SCOTT (angelic choir sings “A-H-H-H”)that I’ve never seen before.
Who needs modern trash.
The problem with modern “Made for the whole family” trash is the plot is ...A troubled teen who helps kids who are disadvantaged, blind, deaf,overcome their problems and all ends well. I have never been able to stomach such films, even when I was a kid!

Nonsense! What we need is scripts designed for adults that kids can go to. Look at all those great adult themed movies made before 1968, yet still safe for kids, when the movies decided to “police” themselves, threw off the Hays code and started turning out the most vile and blood soaked movies ever made.

I have been to a movie theater once in 5 years to see a James Bond movie and it sucked. But movies are as big as ever, just that people are watching them at home.
