I haven't set foot in a movie theater in four years (except for revival houses, such as the Silent Movie Theatre in Los Angeles & even that is rarely) because the majority of movies released these days (especially with major stars) are awful. <br />I noticed you gave "Inception" a good review. The media saturation for this flick (started in May!) was so deep I feel I've already seen it. This practice is commonplace. Maybe I'll catch this in 10, 20 years & find something in it to appreciate. Between 3 channels on basic cable (Turner Classic Movies, Fox Movie Channel & Independent Film Channel) my movie needs are fulfilled & I don't have to subject myself to LA traffic (an added bonus).Bx6207noreply@blogger.com
