A few years ago, I did write him an e-mail telling him he should read TOTV to get a better idea of what life in the Villages is like. He was only here two weeks around when King Kong was playing at the Old Mill Playhouse. I saw this movie on 12-14-05 according to my OMP ticket stub. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0360717/

Some others should e-mail him too and try to get him to look at a wider group of people here in the Villages and on TOTV. http://www.andrewblechman.com/

20 minutes before my movie started, I once heard some thumping against the wall when I was sitting in the Aud 1., at Old Mill Playhouse just under the projection camera. I thought, one of the couples among the employees must be romantically involved as that was the kind of thumping I heard. But, it could have been many other things and I have seen a large number of movies at OMP in that auditorium 1 and have never heard that kind of thumping again. Blechman's picture of the Villages is like mine of just that amorous break being representative of every afternoon at the OMP. It's racy and it gets your attention. But, usually this does not occur.
