We could very well see a decline in theaters nationwide regardless of whether Hollywierd wakes up or not. The old promotional "Coming soon to a theater near you" may have to be changed to "Coming soon to a theater somewhere".

Actually, there are a number of movies I woud just as soon did not come to a theater near me.

Show 'Gone With the Wind', 'Fiddler on the Roof' or re-release other classics, and I'd go. It would only take one screen at the multiplex, and it might improve the gate.

It might help if the actors would simply turn down some parts, too, but maybe their contracts do not allow that.

I can always see 'agenda' material on the alphabet and cable networks, anyway.

Agreed! That's why the wife & I haven't been to a theater since 'Dances With Wolves' in 1990. Nothing worth going to see. I've bought my share of DVD's, but they're all old movies (mostly Westerns). In addition, I tape a lot; again, old stuff.

When I'm watching Fox News and they have McCuddy on or something, I'm at a loss most of the time because I don't know the people he's talking about. Usually the wife has to explain but then she's not always sure.

Happily ignorant in a red county in a blue state.
