I liked it when stadium seating came, but it soon was ruined by audience behavior. When whole families would tramp in, laden with food trays and talking was the norm, then we just stopped going. I do check out the movies on “On Demand”, but the lack of quality stuff has almost stopped that viewing, too.
There are some good ones out there, but darn few. Where are the “Beautiful Mind” types(Was that the title? With Crowe?), or a good action thriller that isn’t mostly tongue in cheek. The crash scenes have become boring and stupid. How about a comedy that doesn’t resort to bathroom jokes as the newest Fockers has?
Bring back plots that make sense, and actors that can act, rather than one-liners.
The movie industry should step back and re-examine themselves if they want serious viewers. But if all they want is to do is make money on nonsense, then I’m not biting.
When I do go to the multiplex theater, you have to sit through the previews, which give you an idea of the drivel that's being made. This is what a lot of young people are going to see.

We had some cold weather and ice not long ago, so I got out my DVDs and watched the 1960s versions of BECKET and THE LION IN WINTER.
Great drama for a cold night!
