Honestly, no. I’ve enjoyed some films but I would have enjoyed them at home on tv, too.

Pardon me but LINDA CARTER, i.e., THE REAL (& imVho the only) “WONDER WOMAN”, is DEFINITELY NOT a LIB of any sort whatever.
(She, using her married name, was once a regular customer of mine when I was in the HVACR business. - She is married to an extremely wealthy physician & lives in suburban Maryland, - NO, I won’t tell anyone her married/real name or where she lives, as she & her husband VALUE their privacy.)

I originally met Ms. Carter because she was renovating her very large home (which has NINE different HVAC systems & a “climate-controlled wine cellar”) & several of the systems “had recurring problems” that our techs were almost constantly having to repair/service/replace.=====> A renovation project of that size, like ROME, is not “done in a day”. - It took over 2 full years.
(I talked to her by phone so often, during their home renovation, that it got to be an “inside joke” in the company.- Our receptionist would go onto the PA system & say, “Tex, your GIRLFRIEND is calling again.” - Then everyone would LOL at me.)

I said all that to say this: SHE IS A COMPLETELY LOVELY MARRIED LADY (& in the best sense of the term, “LADY”.), who our HVACR techs were fond of personally/”spoiled to death”, if only because she constantly fed them her “locally famous” homemade sweet rolls & coffee/tea/soft drinks on every visit.
(I sometimes got some sweet rolls, IF the techs didn’t eat them all up, before they returned to our central office. = She bakes GREAT CINNAMON ROLLS.)

Yours, TMN78247

Well, I thought I read somewhere long ago that she was an advocate for Left-wing social causes (maybe regarding gay marriage and transgender issues?). I have no doubt that she is a very nice person.

I can’t think of a movie made in the last decade that I would pay to watch. I’ve purchased a few movies recently, but most of them are over 20 years old. And I will not watch a movie, even if I love it, that has the likes of Robert Duvall or any other Insane lefty in it. I don’t want a penny to go to them as a result of me viewing something they were in.

Does the phrase, “Tough $h:+” sound familiar?

I hope a more independent film industry rises, not stuck in Hollywood, creative and innovative and professional, utilizing tech that enables them to largely work from home. Not celebrity dependent.

Open the country up and stop trying to hurt all of us to get to Orange Man Bad and people will return to the movies.

She sure plays the role of lib to the hilt. It must be to keep working (though, does she even still act?). She was waving coat hangers around with Whoopi at a pro-abort rally during the Bush years, at which point she demanded he go back to Texas. I’m sure she’s super-nice to everyone who isn’t an unborn baby, though.

Pardon me for pointing out that that MANY of us “pro-life folks” were ONCE “pro-choice”, including RONALD WILSON REAGAN.
(FYI, I am so “anti-government control” that I once believed that the GOVERNMENT should STAY OUT of OUR PERSONAL LIVES altogether, including on the issue of abortion altogether BUT one of my “sisters of the heart”, who is Roman Catholic & VERY DEVOUT in a way that I will likely never be, convinced me that I was 100% WRONG on the issue.).

The eyes of many Americans, who are now pro-life folk were opened over the years, even IF we started out as “pro-choice”.

Yours, TMN7824

I go all the way back to the Leona Theatre in Homestead, Pa. - where you could watch them cram sticks of real butter into the popcorn machine.

A bunch of us would take the bus there on a Saturday and watch monster movies all day for like a dime. Imagine a group of young white boys (middle school age) taking a bus to Homestead today, unaccompanied by an adult......unless Homestead has recovered from what it was when I left the ‘Burgh area in the late 80’s.

If they do re-open, go to Stage Right Theatrics and their Conservative Theatre Festival.
