The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.
One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

I rayleigh don't see what you mean.

You really need to see that movie.
That looks like the Normal Theater in Normal, IL....
Yes. It is.
I’ve been there many many times....
Shows old movies mostly....
I was there one night when they showed The Day the Earth Stood Still.
The director, Robert Wise, actually called in to the theater on speaker before the show. He was calling from England, probably 90 years. He died at 91.
Was a great thrill.
Best Sci Fi movie.
Remake was an absolute f ing joke....
