AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a CNN poll regarding the current state of movies, with participants expressing a general lack of enthusiasm for recent film releases. Many feel that the quality of movies has declined, making them less inclined to visit theaters. Some participants mention specific films like "Bewitched" and express a preference to wait for DVD releases rather than watch them in theaters. There is nostalgia for the past when movie theaters offered more appealing options, particularly during hot summer nights. The conversation reflects a sentiment that few new releases are compelling enough to warrant a trip to the cinema, with some humorously questioning the relevance of current film choices.

:smile: Wish I'd seen that poll while it was still open. I'd have added my vote to the majority there. :biggrin:
The poll is still open, actually, you just have to go to the cnn.com home page and look for it in the lower right corner.
 
I'd like to see Bewitched, but can surely wait till it comes out on DVD. But if my power goes out one more time, I may go to the show just to stay cool.

I recall when movie houses used "conditioned" air to draw people in on hot summer nights. They just don't have that much to offer that's better then my own sofa.
Expect frozen Coke.

I agree that once in a while something comes out that I'd watch, but it's rare that I feel compelled to run to see something in the theater. I haven't even turned on my A/C yet (probably will need to do so this weekend though), so even that's not a compelling reason to head to the theater yet.
 
Bewitched, Herbie, The Honeymooners, Batman. I'm confused - what year is this?
