We had it for a while and used it almost exclusively at the Magnolia or Angelika Theaters in Dallas to see classics and movies about actual human beings with scripts instead of CGI cities being ripped apart by gym rats in long underwear. Now, the only movie ticket clubs around are exclusive to chains like AMC, which might show three movies a year we want to see. <br /><br />Does anyone know of an AMC Stubs-like ticket club that covers the so-called "art house" theaters? <br /><br />BTW, I had to prove "I am not a robot" to post this. I wish more of the characters in movies these days had to prove they weren't robots.

There are so many of them that I can't remember them all!<br /><br />Do you enjoy any of these shows? Why can other countries make shows like this, but US studios apparently can't (or won't) anymore?<br /><br />I'll hang up and listen.<br /><br /><br />Tom LeykisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967832658513095847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-37431073917482724472020-01-08T06:45:39.919-08:002020-01-08T06:45:39.919-08:00Have you seen Jojo Rabbit yet?
