movie-goer until everything was aimed for 18-year-olds or 5-year-olds. I'm an adult. Make some movies about adult things. The last movie I remember seeing was 1917. I've seen movies a few times since then, but nothing memorable. Tried to see a movie about Mary Queen of Scots at one point, but it was projected incorrectly and you couldn't see anything it was too dark. Got my money back on that one. Admitted to me that the equipment wasn't working properly, but had no trouble showing the movie and charging admission.
