I think you fellows are missing out on a superb invitation to save a fortune in dollars and loads of time by not wasting either at the movies. I don't think I have been in a movie theater since Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, maybe, and the time before that was when I stood in a line around the block in Dallas freezing my parts off to see Goldfinger in December 1964. If there has been a movie worth the price of admission and time in recent years, I must have missed it. I wish I could call it a boycott since most of the industry are gun-banning liberals, but I just don't care about them.

The trouble is they are fiction. Even the ones that aren't fiction are fiction. Ever since Walt Disney and John Wayne appropriated David Crockett's aura for crass commercial purposes, creating bogus fiction, and conned us into wearing coonskin caps and "Old Betsy's", I've resented it, especially after I went to the Archives while at UT and found out the swinging of Old Betsy was a complete fabrication! I'd give anything to know what really happened, as it really happened, and not a penny for somebody's dramatic recreation based on historical events. If you want to read such fiction, stick with newspapers.... they're a lot cheaper.
