Not with all the woke garbage they keep churning out.

I have not been to a movie theater in a long time. Most movies are just garbage. It’s full of cursing, sex, lgbtq garbage or some social justice message which is actually unjust. If they use God’s name in vain even once, I’ll never watch the movie. I’m not wasting my time watching something I’ll hate.

Apparently not. I’ve been once in the last ten years.

Not at all, it’s a room full of filth and stickiness. Can’t control playback, such as pausing to do something or rewind to review a scene. It’s packed with inconsiderate patrons of various sizes and volume levels. Your wallet gets violated for the simplest snack items.
I’d much rather watch a movie at home with my own comfort and convenience Why muddle up the experience with unappealing criteria?

We do enjoy going to the movies. But, we find so few movies that we want to see that we end up going only 4-5 times a year.

Not anymore - 30 minutes of previews and commercials is grating. People talking, the glow of phones of people texting, the smacking of popcorn is all too much to endure.

With large Home Screen TV screens with excellent picture quality and sound, makes watching at home ideal.

Only to Christian themed movies. Nothing else is worth it.

It’s okay. I really enjoy watching movies more at home. There used to be local theaters that showed many great movies, but that hasn’t been the case for decades. It’s inconvenient and expensive to see a movie in a theater now. At home, we can be comfortable, spend less, and eat snacks that don’t require a second mortgage.

Most movie theaters have smelled pretty bad for many, many years. Yuck.

Yes, I love going to the movies. We never finish a movie in 1 sitting at home and I like taking the ride of watching a movie start to finish so I like the “requirement” of doing so at the theater.

We go every week. Action, drama, romance, comedy, kids, foreign, comic books. We don’t watch horror.

Absolutely love it. Love everything about it. We go almost every week (movie club membership). Popcorn, reserved seating, immersion, Mrs Statguy. It’s the best. Sometimes the movies are good, too. πŸ˜‰

We have two very nice theater complexes in town, and one that needs an upgrade. Also an art movie theater. Enough variety.

The Kendrick Brothers, Karen Kingsbury, and Angel Studios put out some of the best. Do you have other Christian producers you like?

No never saw it, not my type of movie. Let me ask you, - when did you guys on the right become such soy boys. Where you have to go into a corner and cry when there is a Black, a gay, or a woman(with a leading role) in a movie? Here let me give you a tissue so you can cry it out 🀧😭😭😭😭😭😭

We never ever complained about a “black” or a “gay” or a woman in a movie. Not once. That’s your pathetic projection. Try again.

Yes, I believe we see most of these. Kingdom Story Company, formerly Kingdom Studios, made The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Quite good.

Every Disney/Marvel/Star Wars movie, Barbie, Bros, Woman King, Terminator 6, Ghostbusters, Moonlight, Hidden Figures, Rings of Power, Velma, Santa Inc, Oceans 8… thankfully the public is tired of the wokeness so they were all huge bombs.πŸ’£

Did you realize that was written by Dallas Jenkins, who wrote, and is directing and producing The Chosen. Back when he wrote it, he couldn't get anyone to invest in the movie, and that “failure” is what led to The Chosen, now the highest crowd sourced show ever!

Have you seen this one, by my fave author?

And this tv show, based on my fave of all her series? She dropped three seasons at one time! Starring Ted McGinley and Roma Downey!

Yes. Mrs Statguy was a projectionist in college 50 years ago. I don’t think she watched the movies — just the progress of the reel and the timing mark.

I know there are some Christian movies that’s come out. I think I’ll go see the Passion of Christ 2 when it comes out.

We don’t go to garbage. We enjoy religious themed movies — the church organizes outings. There are more now than ever.

DEI- ok great! Then having a Black or gay person or a woman in a leading role is not woke! Wonderful! I agree πŸ‘ now can you give me an explanation of a few movies that are all woke to you? πŸ€”

DEI- let’s try again, I said Sinners has an African American theme, because it actually does have an African American theme. It’s ok to say the truth πŸ™„

And if Disney is doing so awful with movies they will change their movie style. It’s called the free market
