'Kindness' covers all of my political beliefs. no need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities... we have done something to make others a little happier and something to make ourselves a little happier, this is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances, we must try. I didn't always know this... and am happy I lived long enough to find it out. -Roger Ebert
Theaters are dying. Why go to a place with ill-mannered people, screaming brats, incredibly overpriced refreshments, uncomfortable seats and sticky floors when you can stay home with your Bose stereo system, a BarcaLounger and a 60" HDTV, pay almost nothing for refreshments, pause the movie if you have to pee and don’t have to put up with boorish people and their unspanked brats? Seeing the movie at home is worth the 3 month (or less) wait. I predict a time in the near future where you’ll pay ten bucks and the movie will be downloaded into your DVR the day it opens.
