Hey kids. Been away awhile, but felt I had to tell yez about my bad experience at the theatre this summer. So...I’m probably the biggest Tarantino fan in my area (which ain’t sayin much for the podunk peasant area I live in), and the minute I saw the trailer for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, I was salivating. Took my son and nephew out to eat at Shoops (which is our local Jack Rabbit Slim’s classic burger joint—excellent food, btw), made em each ‘cough up a buck’ for the tip, and then we went to the local crappy small-screen cineplex to see the flick. Ok, so far, so good.
So, the lights dim, my arms sprout gooseflesh, my nipples harden...and—no picture. Oh, we could hear the movie, just couldn’t see it. Lousy #@&$% digital projection system! So I led the march out so we could all get our money back, and went home thoroughly disheartened by the entire state of modern theatres for all time. Tell yez, it broke my heart.
But the blue ray comes out Nov.5, so I’m lookin forward to that. But I doubt I’ll EVER bother going to the movies again. Bad enough the screens are so small, the picture so lousy, the price so outrageous—now ya can’t even see the dang flicks thanks to these crap digital projectors.
