Not going to happen

They said TV would spell the end of the Movie Theaters, didn't happen, then VCR's would kill the Movie's, again, didn't happen, sorry cable, keep dreaming. It's kinda funny, but people actually like to GET OUT OF THE HOUSE once in a while, mingle with other people, see a video on a HUGE screen.


Madness
Like a flea circus at a dog show.

Hey, I still remember back around the early 80's when it was predicted that cable would kill off movie theaters (haha!). Oh yeah, & at that time, basic cable was $2 a month!!!

As for rentals, I'm perfectly happy taking a stroll down the street to the supermarket (open 24 hours) just after midnight on Tuesday mornings to get the new releases from the Red Box ($1/night).
