Well I guess I got that all wrong.

 I thought maybe there were other erstwhile movie goers who find that's is impossible these days to enjoy a movie without being reminded of  unpleasant political stuff.  I don't just mean the obvious, like a restaurant scene where the owner has a framed copy of "Nixon Resigns" hanging on the wall.  I mean, even that's okay, were it not for the fact that he left office more than a quarter century ago, and  "Clinton Impeached" might make more sense to the younger movie patron. Ain't never seen that though.  I guess I was the only person to drink a gallon of Dom Perignon in celebration of that event. 

No, I'm talking about going to a movie to escape, and seeing Barbra Streisand, or hell, any of several hundred left-wing Hollywood Bush bashers break the spell by their mere presence on the silver screen.  Or to be insulted by dialog that defames and demeans those principles I hold dear.  Who wants to pay for that?  Anyway, the New York Times has looked into it, and to the extent there are others like me, we are a statistical anomaly.  The real reason people don't go to the movies like they used to is that they wait for the DVD to come out.  Sorry.  I was wrong.  Thanks New York Times for setting me straight.
