Why There Will Be Almost No Movie Theaters in 5 Years

[Jack Valentino]

53. The last current release I viewed in a movie theater was the anti-Bush movie

"Fahrenheit 9/11", later also saw a special limited viewing of 'Cool Hand Luke'
because my father invited me to attend it with him...

Now of course I had heard of 'Cool Hand Luke' but had never seen it or heard anything else--
I imagined it to be a cowboy-gunslinger movie....

so imagine my shock to be viewing a 'prison movie'!

I was like, "Dad, you invited me to see a prison movie?"
I never got a satisfactory response, possibly he had no idea either. LOL



I WAS just recently realizing that movies are practically never advertised on
regular broadcast channels anymore, or at least I hardly ever see any ads for them---
not like the old days.... There is precisely ONE movie which I recall being
"showing on Christmas Day" but I can't remember what it is...

Since I don't get a local newspaper anymore, I don't even know what is playing.
Seems only the top prospects get any media exposure,
or at least the media that I view,
and I rarely see advertisements for movies on the internet either
(or they pass under my radar)....

Possibly I would have a better idea if I were 'dating',
but I haven't been dating for many years,
and was conditioned not to go to the movies by myself, except at home....
(and to wait for them to come out on video)



so from my personal perspective, the supposition of the OP's article is likely quite correct!
