For a number of reasons, I am boycotting movies.
Me too. Haven't been in a theater for about five years and that was against my better judgement.....but some friends invited me and I just couldn't turn them down.
I don't like crowds, rude and totally inconsiderate people, people talking throughout the movie, way too cold air conditioning, the price of food and drinks and lousy choices available, having to drive (especially at night), not being able to stop the movie to go to the head or fridge, strange smells, no dogs allowed to watch with me and be petted, not able to back up or skip forward or pause or change channels, (or just shut it off and go away), no control over the volume, not being able to play with my guns or doing word-find puzzles, trash on the sticky floors, not having my phone available, stupid advertisements in some theaters, most people's choice of artificial scents wafting all over the place, uncomfortable seats, babies crying, being trapped in a germ-infested environment, having to wear outdoors clothes inside in bad weather, having my back to empty spaces, strange smells, having to pay good money to be in such an uncomfortble environment at all, etdamnedcetera.
At home I can watch whatever I've checked out of my local library for free or whatever is on Prime and not have to be infected by any of the things mentioned above.
I'm happy the way I am and how I choose to live.....so there!

I can relate to the materials they used to "get the words out".
I got "Shanghaied" into teaching conversational English to local civilians in Hiroshima. My First Lieutenant found out I had been a grade school teacher before joining the Marines. He was dating a young lady and been trying to teach her English and asked me to help find materials.
I told him if he could find some help we could gather what we needed. We recruited four more instructors and the lieutenant posted notices everywhere he could think of. A Brigadier General got wind of it and helped spread the word and gather materials. We ended up with magazines, newspapers (someone donated a two year prescription of ten copes per week of Better Homes and gardens. The women in the class loved those.), comic books, used books from libraries, barber shops, waiting rooms, etc. Someone gave us a set of World Book Encyclopedias. We had instructional manuals, greeting cards. and packing slips....you name it. Stuff soon began pouring in from all over.
Mark Twain was very popular as were many western writes. The Japanese men compared cowboys to Samurai for some reason.
The Red Cross and Christian Ladies Traveling Library Service all joined in and a number of American and Japanese groups as well.
It wasn't what anyone would call orthodox or even reasonable, certainly not professional, but in eleven months we taught about eighty Japanese enough English to get by and three young ladies were hired by Komatsu Tractor Co. to work on their international switchboard. One young man got promoted because he learned to speak English better than the others where he worked.
It was a great time and our after-class events taught us a lot more about the Japanese than most Americans will ever experience.
And the Lieutenant married his girl friend about a month before I rotated back stateside. The entire class was invited to the four day gala affair.
Her dad was a millionaire due to investments in dairy products all over the western Pacific, so the new hubby resigned his commission and as far as I know still lives in Japan.
I had no idea we had done something that others had done before, but I'm still proud of what we did.

Had mine done on 2008 when radial whatever was still the favored thing. I told the doctor it was like detergent ad on tv: the whites were whiter and the brights were brighter. I still love them compared to the "bottle bottom" lenses I had before.
Two years ago the VA sent me to a specialist to have the "film" lasered off. An hour forty minutes in the waiting room, less than five minutes in the chair, drove myself home after waiting in "recovery" for fifteen minutes or so.
I'm very happy with it. Not bad for over 15 years with NO Problems whatsoever.

The book Kings Row was written by Henry Bellamann who was born and raised in Fulton. He later went on to be and accomplished professor and writer of music and poetry. His greatest book was Kings Row - about all the dirty secrets hidden in a sleepy mid-west town. At first Fulton was delighted home town boy makes good. But the exposed hypocrisy started to strike too close to home.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Bellamann
The movie Kings Row was packed with stars. It was considered Ronald Reagans' best movie performance. They had to skirt around many topics in the book like incest, homosexuality, suicide because of movie code.
Never heard of that one, Warden. Just put my card in the get it from the public library. Should have it about a week.
Thanks for the tip.

Altamont is right up there with Cimarron Arms for making me happy in dealing with them over a medium span of time.
I truly enjoy doing businesses who are both honest and honorable and who do whatever it takes to make their customers happy. It's a rare thing in many places these days.

He had issues with pharmacies, not necessarily Walgreens.
Exactly what the hell difference did that make?
When are we going to find a way to put an anchor in stupid news media stories and the story tellers?
I find it harder and harder to fine ANY news worth watching.

As if they could build one of those in time to use it and manage to hide that mess from the tankers.
