I had the cheapness of viewing movies at home in the back of my mind when I wrote "There’s nothing I want to pay that kind of money for to see"... And "It may be fun to see in a theater, but can’t be repeated at home without a major expenditure". My second comment was focused toward 3D, but fits 2D movies as well.

Not having "theatered" since 1990, I can't comment on the audiences, but seeing the kids standing outside our local theater in the evenings I can understand. I'd frankly walk out and never return (after giving the manager a piece of my mind). So, I'm obviously not missing anything in that regard.

The last movie I rented (a year ago) was "Appaloosa". I like Westerns and really wanted to see it. It didn't disappoint me. The next will probably be "True Grit". Come to think of it, that'll likely be my rental experience for the year.

What gave you the urge to venture into film making from writing? Just curious. It would seem like a leap to someone like me not affiliated with either business. Saw you on Glenn Beck awhile back. Shouted "Gee, there's Larry". My wife responded "Huh?". Good luck with the movie venture, and I hope it leads to another successful and profitable career. Rock & Roll isn't one of my interests, so this movie wouldn't interest me. But I'd be interested seeing where the venture leads you...

I like western and I watch Lonesome Dove and Commanche Moon at least once a month. Throw in Broken Trail and Open Range and I’m set for weeks. LOL!!

We HAD a big DVD rental store near here not long ago. I went in several times but of all their thousands of modern movies I could find NOTHING worth renting.

I've been wanting to move into motion pictures since Patriot's History came out, mainly to do a "Free to Choose" type of miniseries on our book. I finally concluded I'd have to do it myself!

We have a sequel about music's impact on and penetration of Islamic countries in production, "Other Walls 2 Fall." But down the road I have a very good three-person dark drama; a terrific story about a Kennedy-like Mars project; and our ultimate goal (of course, keeping PHUSA in mind) is a story about the defense of Malta vs. the Muslims in 1565. Everyone tells us, "Hollywood will never make that movie." Exactly. That's why I have to.
