We cut our Comcast Cable last June when our monthly cost exceeded $250. We didn’t watch any of the movie channels, yet our monthly bill paid for them. We are saving about $125 per month, and Comcast apparently just came up with another big price increase. Relatives and friends, who didn’t cut their cable, are asking me how to cut off Comcast after their Jan 2018 price increase.

In over a half of year since we cut our cable, we have not watched a single tv movie nor gone to one.

My wife is not a prude, but when the opening sentence of a movie and basically every sentence afterwards contains the “F” word, she is ready to leave the theater or turn off that movie.

Then make sure you avoid "Three Billboards Outside . . . ". Pretty much every sentence in the movie has one or two expletives, including exchanges between parents and children. Cops are portrayed as mostly dumb, violent, and racist, there's a gratuitous swipe at the Catholic Church (comparing it to a street gang), and sadistic acts of criminality are winked at.

How do you know they are trash if you haven't seen them?

With some of these at least, you've missed some great art. Which is your prerogative of course.
