If the movie holds my attention and it is entertaining, I don’t care about any of the rest of it. I’m retired and live in the country. When I have to go to the big city for medical appointments or to run errands, I almost always go see a movie while I am in town. And I enjoy almost all of them. I don’t read reviews or listen to critics. I don’t care about their opinions. I just want to sit for a couple of hours, eat some popcorn and be entertained. It is make-believe after all.

I haven’t sat in a theater in years. If a movie stinks, I like to turn it off and switch to something else without rewarding the same idiots that turned out the stinker with even more money.

I also can’t stand sharing a moving with a bunch of people on cell phones, crying babies, and obnoxious teenagers.

And I am not so easily amused that any garbage will hold my attention. I don’t have TV because it is a bunch of boring, repetitive junk that is so painful to watch the only way they can attract an audience is by turning it into pseudo-porn with sick, perverted stories that must have come from the mind of an antisocial 13 year old.

If they were smart, they would stick with the stories that have captivated imaginations for thousands of years rather than apply the same lack of intelligence and creativity they use for everything else.

The actual stories of the Exodus and Noah are noble and inspiring. If they want to create mindless tripe, the least they can do is come up with their own own title.
