Movies....

I haven't gone out to a movie since 'Bridges of Madison County' and that's 18 years ago now. I liked it, because Clint Eastwood played something other than a bloodthirsty gunman. The multiplex where it was showing left a lot to be desired though. The floor and seats had popcorn scattered around, and it looked like the place hadn't had a good cleaning since it had been built over an older single movie theater a few years before. That helped persuade me against going back.

The rest of the persuasion comes from looking over the current crop of offerings
they're euphemistically calling 'movies' these days, instead of naming them for the glimpses of Hell or Purgatory most seem to portray, and which few if any of us would actually want to visit. What's happened to the current crop of movie makers, to make them focus so much on the blood and guts and gore instead of showing us something to inspire us to try to become better or finer human beings? Where are they getting their definition of 'entertainment'? From Hell?
It often looks that way from my vantage point here in the big chair...
