Well, that should teach me not to treat Judy as
if she were a grownup. :-)
Seriously, Judy, if you'd like to learn something
for a change, why don't you do what I do and read
the movie trade papers? There is an article almost
every week about declining movie attendance,
percentagewise per population, with one of the
primary reasons given being a reluctance of
audiences to go out at night, especially to movie
houses that aren't in safe, well-lit shopping
malls. As I remember from a recent article, a
huge percentage of city-center movie houses have
folded in the last decade, and the primary reason
given for it was *not* competition from videos
(because there was no such mass failure among
suburban theaters) but fear of crime in the
city centers.
That said, back into the Pissant Bin you go...
