Cannot name one movie I would even slightly want to go out of my house to watch or even from my comfy chair at home. Nuthin’. No celeb trips my trigger. No talk show elicits a response. No designer gown impresses. No glass box soulless hovel of the rich cantilevered over the ocean turns my head. That place is dead to me.

I'm sorry in advance, but Idontknowwhy, I'm fascinated by Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington: maybe because of how they've reacted to questions on "the racial problem in America." Fascinated enough to check out DVDs of their older stuff from the tax-payer-supported state-wide library system anyway.
I don't visit the movie bawdy houses mostly because I figure public libraries' purchases of umpteenillion copies all across this fruited land has already paid for the production about a million times over. I feel like, with all that money spent, taxpayers own the damn things.
Needed clarification: I'm sorry for not boycotting shows unreservedly, not for being a fan of the two mentioned, who no doubt read this 'stack regularly too. And Mel Gibson. And you know the others.
I was a regular”Go to the movies” kind of gal. Mostly art house and independent films and the occasional Hollywood film.
I’ve tried to go back to the movie theater. For the past year or so I look at what’s showing at my neighborhood multiplex, on a regular basis, and there is absolutely nothing I want to see. The subject/content is absolutely pure dreck, as well as being so evil and demonic.
I did recently go see the Bob Dylan fictional bio-pic, “A Complete Unknown”. A film that was very well done, had great music, was nominated for several Academy Awards, and won absolutely nothing at this year’s “Oscars”.
Of course when you do go to the actual movie theatre you are still subjected to minutes of “trailers” for upcoming films prior to the film you are going to see. Every single one was about a film with very dark themes, whether it be present day or futuristic.
I had to close my eyes on most of them. I did not want those images imprinted in my psyche.

That’s just me. I take it back, I will watch the Shawshank Redemption as many times as necessary. Especially the end. 😀.
Janet, SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, YESTHANKYOU.
My dad once referred to it as the “Shimshaw Designation” and that been its name ever since in our family. Try it out. Thank me later.
Cocaine bear was a laugh, though 😉
(Who or what was “cocaine bear”?…just another slang name for the 80’s?)
I’ll give you that. 🤣.
