Someone called me in a poll some time back about movie going habits. I used to go once a week. I even used to give credence to and watch the award shows until shortly before the release of Farenheit 9/11. Now I almost never go, which I told the person, and I turn off the award shows in favor of news or old movies or sports.
In fact, I practically yelled at the pollster to tell her supervisors that I will not go and spend my money as long as Hollywood chooses to shove political statements and garbage from the left down my throat. I told her that I will not be lectured by high school dropouts and spolied celebrities who've no experience with hardship and real life, and that her supervisors need to get this message to Hollywood if Hollywood wants me to patronize their TV shows and movies. Finally, I told her I tell all my friends and acquaintances this same message over and over.
I felt a little bit bad about being angry with a pollster. Only a little bit.
I anyone is trolling here from the West Left Coast Hollywood crowd, do the math. I am not alone.
...and I bet they took you off the polling lists after your tirade (a tirade that I could not agree with more)! Good job.
It costs $50.00 to take my teenaged grandson to a movie, even if I can find one that we both like. And half the time the fifteen minutes of advertisements before the show include "public service" propaganda touting the gay agenda, lecturing us about recycling and cutting back on energy use, and demanding that we quit smoking. This in a theatre where popcorn costs $10.00 a bucket and all the buckets end up on the floor! Not to mention the large number of "children" (30 and under) blabbering continually throughout the program, either on their cell phones or to one another -- "so I'm like, whatever!" -- and the crying, struggling toddlers who have to go to the washroom every three or four minutes.
Going to the movies is not worth the trouble anymore. Except for Harry Potter and the Chronicles of Narnia, I'm staying home.
