It is a very poor business model keeping those two movie theaters closed.

And I have no idea what people nowadays mean by "Hollywood" as many movies are made in Georgia, Great Britain, Ireland, Poland, New Mexico, New York State, and in many other places all over the world. With actors and actresses from all over the world. And by companies that are world wide in scope.

They’re talking about the “Hollywood” mentality, you can find that in other places than Hollywood, CA.

I look at movie theaters like landlines in homes, an extra expense for an outdated service.

They are maybe worried about COVID coming back. There is also the problem that "Hollywood" did not produce enough movies while COVID was around and they have yet to catch up.

I can certainly agree with that assessment!

Normally, I would say that they are a bunch of weenies if they are still worried about COVID, but then again, we're talking about Hollywood

No. We are talking about the developers who could schedule all kinds of movies aimed at Villagers.

Most new movies are being streamed now, no? There really aren’t all kinds of movies available just for the old, over fifty crowd.

I can think of hundreds of movies that they could be showing. One of them for instance-- Dirty Dancing - Wikipedia

Or 27 of them with the various James Bond movies.

Or Clint Eastwood movies.

Why pay out a fistful of dollars to watch those old shows? Better off to stay home and watch ME tv if that is what type of reheats one desires.

Have they always remade every past hit with a new cast, or is this a new trend. It seems every movie that was a hit in the 70's to 90's has been remade with a new cast. They never measure up to the original.

This evening I received a notice from MoviePass which brought back memories of going to the movies almost every other day. Those were the days.

"We are so excited to announce that we are beginning our launch sequence to bring MoviePass back. For those of you who don’t know MoviePass was sold back in 2017 to a private equity group and due to mismanagement subsequently closed its doors. Last year I, one of the original Founders, bought the company back with the plan to relaunch it. Time Magazine did a great piece that does a wonderful job of explaining the sequence of events that lead to this point.

I want to thank everyone for their support in helping us get here. So many of you have called, emailed and even stopped me on the street to show that you still had your original MoviePass card and talk about how much you loved the service. So if you were a 2012 OG or caught the wave towards the end we look forward to welcoming you back.

We will begin relaunching the service beginning Labor Day - September 5th. But prior to that we are opening up our waitlist to be able to join."

It may not be the same this time around.
