I'm trying to remember the last movie I saw that was worth $10.  Maybe
Terminator 2, but we have a blu-ray which cost less than that.  It's
been a long time since I actually wanted to see a movie in a theater.

   I'm spoiled. We have two "arthouse" theaters that are
pleasant on stormy days. Old fashioned places that probably
looked exactly the same in 1940.

  I get a lot of movies at the
library and have some streaming. But recently I've
watched the Holdovers and Oppenheimer in theaters.
Last week we went to two movies, both of which were
extraordinary. "Driving Madelleine" and "Perfect Days".
There are rarely more than a dozen people at a showing.

  I haven't been to a chain theater for probably at least
20 years. Last time I went I was appalled at the crowds,
the ads, the refusal to let me bring in food or drink... The
whole thing was sleazy and overpriced. And the movie
selection is generally "top 40".

 John Wick... yes... I have to admit that I find it engaging,
which is really ridiculous because the whole thing is just
over-the-top, speeded up violence. And Keanu Reeves
can't act. But occasionally I get in the mood for that kind
of adrenaline rush.
