Lord only knows there's enough aural assault going on from the crack of dawn to sundown. Who needs it in their entertainment?<BR/><BR/>I wonder if there's a movie theater out at Leisure World in MoCo? I'd imagine it's pretty quiet and teenager-less. I wonder if they'd rent it out for an afternoon to the next generation of rising curmudgeons? Hm...J.M.

Call it Just Want to Enjoy the Damn Movie Meet-Up. We could probably get a huge number of folks to join and then we could negotiate discounts, rent out the theater, and just enjoy the damn movie!lacochranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122022168616822147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952376.post-6974687333306053692008-05-20T15:53:00.000+01:002008-05-20T15:53:00.000+01:00Hare Do is one of my FAVORITES!!I hate going to th...Hare Do is one of my FAVORITES!!<BR/><BR/>I hate going to the movies anymore my own bad self...it's too much of a pain.

I don't remember what the last movie was I saw in a theater, for the very reasons you list. And yet, there's nothing like the Big Screen for some movies...seeing the Rohirrim charge to break the siege of Gondor in "The Return of the King" just doesn't work on the TV screen at home...Bilbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14213505386288233192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952376.post-62596071539185338652008-05-19T16:09:00.000+01:002008-05-19T16:09:00.000+01:00Three words: Earplugs and Afternoon Matinee.

Although, occasionally, for cinematic gems like the opening of Pirates of the Caribbean or Harry Potter or Star Wars, I'll actually go on opening night and brave the hoary masses of teenagers.<BR/><BR/>And what's up with the price of tickets?! Holy inflated price structures, Batman! $10.50/ticket?! I don't think so. Of course, I'm getting old, right? I remember when a ticket was less than $6. (My mother, who's only 59, remembers when they were $0.10. I can't remember the last time a <I>gum ball</I> was 10 cents!J.M.
