We didn’t even make our annual trip to a movie theatre last year.
Besides skyrocketing ticket costs, nothing new - just remakes of what had been successful and sometimes hadn’t, poor acting and of course liberals, who hate America in key roles were reasons not to make our annual single movie trip. Last but not least use of the F bomb throughout a movie is an instant turn off.
We dropped Netflix and Dish midyear and went to Comcast. We have watched one pay movie on Comcast in 8 months, the new Robin Hood. A Brit friend, who is a writer and amateur Brit Historian, told us to watch it for what might have been history at that time plus Russell Crowe doing an excellent job.
With Comcast we don’t have any premium movie channel and may watch 1 or 2 free movies per month on Comcast’s On Demand. Most of those movies are 1-2 decades old. My wife has a F bomb rule. Use of it 3 times in the first 5-10 minutes means the free movie gets cancelled. My rule is any reference that America is a terrible country, I’m out of the family room. My wife has noticed how the F bomb is often part the Anti America movies’s limited dialog.
