I haven't been to a movie theater in years. I think the last movie I saw in a theater was "Jurrasic Park."

A friend bought my wife and me an on-going subscription to NetFlix a couple of years ago, and we go through the offerings and pick the DVDs we want to watch. We recently acquired a 26" wide-screen flat-panel television. Or we can watch a movie on the 17" screen of my laptop while sitting on the bed.

No hassles. Lots less expensive, no parking problems, and no kid behind you kicking the back of your seat.

P. S. I started following Batman in Detective Comics way back in medieval times, when it first came out. I don't really like what some recent meddlers have done with "the Batman Legend" lately. 'Tain't the Batman I grew up with.

The first Batman movie with Michael Keaton was good. Followed the basic genesis of Batman pretty faithfully. Subsequent movies have been getting weirder and weirder. I think Bob Kane, who created the character in the first place, wouldn't be too happy with what's being done.
