It’s fourth down in the fourth quarter with 20 seconds left and we—patriotic Americans who believe in our republic and its Constitution—are on the one-yard line and losing against the radical left-wing “woke” horde …

From the email:

 

Monica Benninhoff: “Loved your commentary about current movie situation.  My husband saw THE SHIFT (Angel Studios) this morning and totally enjoyed it. Sunday morning at 11:15 a.m. was not a big draw the week before Christmas. There were only 3 other people in the theater with us, and we were able to chat amiably because we knew we were all Angel Studio fans, probably from 'The Chosen' series.”

 

Jim Bertelmann: “I imagine that a good number of your readers will add their favorite movies worth repeatedly watching to your list of which I will add several of my own favorites.

  1. The Sound of Music
  2. Fiddler on the Roof
  3. Schindler's List
  4. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (I've possibly watched this a half-dozen times over the past 60 years) Completely absurd, but the casting was and is brilliant.”

Larry Weaver: “Roger, I once heard someone say that there are 3 great art forms that America gave to the world: American movies, jazz, and musical comedy theater. Based on my lifelong experience, that made sense to me and as an American, I embraced that and it made me appreciate our American culture even more.  From going to Saturday matinees in the '50s watching 10 cartoons and a Superman or Flash Gordon serial all the way to still going weekly in the '90s, it was part of being an American. Now, that is gone. My wife and I, other than going to a few movies when the grandkids are in town, haven't been to a theater in at least 10 years. The last movie I saw that I thought was excellent, not great, but very well done was Schindler's List. Since then, I can't recall seeing anything memorable. It is a loss. You are right. Sitting at home watching on the "small" screen isn't the same.”

 

Barbara Sudell: “Perhaps one of the reasons that people don’t go to the movies anymore is the invasion of our privacy by selecting which seat we will sit in.

 

"I know that I will not go to a theater that makes me select my seat.”
