Totally agree. Nothing for kids now. Mrs. Strac and I haven’t seen a good movie since Usual Suspects.

Saw Dunkirk the other night. As a movie; 2 Stars.

Spitfire, out of gas, glides over beach for about 5 minutes, then shoots down an attacking ME 109 while out of gas, then glides around, straight gentle glide, no turns, for another 5 minutes, then wobble pumps the gear down in the nick of time, lands on deserted beach, then burns the plane...

Cold popcorn.

Now have reserve seat in advance on internet.

Nah.... I’ll pass

TCM is my go-to channel! I record GREAT old movies and that's what I watch, myself, and send off to the progeny and their progeny. Also have "movie time" with HOT, made by ME popcorn, when they come to visit.

I haven't been to a movie theatre, to see a movie, since I saw "TOPSY TURVY", back in 1999, and shan't ever go back! Just not worth my while and any "new" movie, that I might decide to give a "try", is on one of the movie channels pretty soon after it has come out. Though these movies are far and VERY few between and often aren't worth seeing anyway.

And besides which, even as far back as 1999, people had less than NO idea HOW to behave in a movie theatre! Now, I've heard, it's even far worse.
