Well, I don't have Apple TV so I won't get to see it this year.

I felt the same way about the movie Greyhound starring Tom Hanks. I had been looking forward to seeing that film at the cinema; but, COVID hit and it never made it to the cinema. Then, Apple got a hold of it and played it on Apple TV, which I do not have; and, I do not intend to pay for another subscription just to see one film. A week ago or so there was someone on the Varney & Co. show who was talking about how much money the movie made on Apple TV. I wonder if it ever dawns on them that they could make even more money if they allowed Netflix or Amazon Prime Video to show the film as well.

Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit wrote a while back, that if we have movies (or tv series, I suppose) that we like, we had better buy them now before they either disappear, or are re-edited by some "woke" SJW, so that you won't even recognize the film. I have added the movie 1776 and The Crossing to my blu-ray collection just in case. Also, the local PBS station used to show the film How Green Was My Valley on Thanksgiving afternoon; but, they haven't shown that movie for years now, so I bought a copy.

A year ago I decided that is was time to get a DVD of "Blazing Saddles", so I went to buy a copy, and after a bit of thought, instead purchased the entire Mel Brooks DVD collection.

Brooks is 94, and hopefully will live many more years, but not so many that he sees his masterpieces torn to shreds and destroyed in the name of WOKE.
