I haven’t been to a movie in 20 years. Screw ‘em.

***I haven’t been to a movie in 20 years. Screw ‘em.***

I don’t blame you. A multi-theater was built near here about five yeaars ago and I never found anything worth going to see, until TRUE GRIT.
I will probably never go to a movie for another five years.

I tape lots of old movies off TCM so I have a library of GOOD films to watch on cold nights.

Everyone says I am partially deaf but I can hear the old movies very clearly. Diction and clarity of speech was prime back before 1980, not so today when so many actors whisper or mumble their lines, and the music overpowers the dialog.
