I Remember When...

I heard this story, it makes me sick! Really, what has this world become???

I remember CDs and cellphones with physical keyboards. The old days sure were strange.

You explained this much better than I could, but bottom line is: not all homicides are criminal and charges are not pressed in non-criminal homicides.

The fact remains that a human being is dead for no reason other than greed.

“Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”

John Donne

Greed ?

So if I come and take something of yours and you call the cops and I resist and they choke me out and I die, it will be because of your greed ?

I agree with hemet dennis here. It's a tragic accident that is unfortunately the kid's own fault.

Now you get in when they say you can, you leave when they say you must even if the theater is only half full, and and it costs more. Greed!

No, it's just inflation. Also, films cost a lot more to produce these days then they did when a ticket cost $1.25. There are better theaters, better projectors, better sound. If movie tickets still cost under $5 everyone in Hollywood would go out of business.

That still doesn't explain why, when the theater is only half full you still can only watch the movie once.

Incidentally, Gone With the Wind was released in 1939 and is still one of the most gorgeous movies ever made, in my opinion. New and improved is rarely better. (Also my opinion

)

Who wants to see a movie twice in a row anyway? I think my brain would be fried after four hours in a theater.

Do you have any DVD's that you've watched more than once?
