We went to the 19th St. Theater today, which was built in the 20's, to see 'The King's Speech.' I recommend this movie highly and hope that it wins an Academy Award for best picture. Colin Firth should also win for best actor.

The theater was packed, and the audience applauded at the end. Glad to see so many people supporting a local theater. (Allentown, PA) We live about 35 minutes away, and it was well worth the drive.

Someday, Hollywood will make a movie about GW Bush and call it The President’s Speech, detailing his leadership after 9-11/sarc. “Some men are born great. Others have greatness thrust upon them.”

I think you once told me you live in the Nazareth area. I’m out near Kutztown now but grew up in Allentown. Sad what has become of it, still has it’s good points. Actually Kutztown has a similar movie theater, can’t remember the name but took my wife there on our second date.

I saw it this evening too. I really liked it. Even the foul language didn’t bother me since it had a place in the plot. It wasn’t gratuitous. The audience applauded at the end as well. I hope it gets many Oscars.

I did have to tell the idiot teenagers next to me to put their phones away. Sheesh. If something’s so important that you have to answer the phone/send a text during a movie, then maybe you shouldn’t be in the movie in the first place.

This thread made me interested in the movie, so I looked up the trailer and viewed it. I just might rent it (when it comes out if not already out...)

Thanks to you and all the others for the head’s up.
