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.

Just think what you miss by staying home...

Sticky floors, seats with who-knows-what on them, kids kicking the back of your seat, cell phone yappers, and overpriced snacks.

I still enjoy the theatre. Nobody is asking me to fix them a snack. I never see a movie unless I’ve seen the trailer.

I refuse, however, to waste money on a lot of the trash that is out there. I saw a good movie this past weekend, “The Good Lie”. However, the “trailer” lied about what it was going to be. It was NOT a light hearted comedy, as portrayed in the trailer. It was a sobering look at the Sudenese War for at least 1/2 the movie. There were a few lighthearted moments after the “boy” got to America, but that wasn’t the main point of the film.
