Thank you. That is what I want, a positive portrait of what the African Americans have contributed. Other then gangsta rap. These men were the generation that opened the door to an integrated military and they sacrificed just like any other race of soldier in our history...
Bump post 54 and a few cooments

Modern films shot to make everything look gray or alternately everything look brown with lots of drab black mixed in. As ugly, colorless and run down and depressing looking as possible. It’s “arty” don’t ya know.

Movie house owners in small towns across the land screwed over by the Hollywood greedsters to the point that they were driven out of business. Result is tens of millions of potential customers with no local venue who have a long trip to attend a movie.
Also, training the youth in those places to NOT get used to going to movies.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Tens of thousands of original books and screenplays written but endless repeats of previously made films.

Films shot for the big screen with TV camera techniques.
Actually, there’s no sign of “Steve Jobs” available on, or even coming to, iTunes.
If it’s not available there and won’t be anytime soon, why would Apple fanbois want to see it?
Jem and the Holograms?
A feature length film based on a TV cartoon from the 80’s that most people barely remember?
What did they THINK would happen?
Was RatherBiased Lies (aka “Truth”) ever released in theaters or is it going straight to cable?
Aaron Sorkin wrote the screen play. His last movie was about a CEO A*Hole of a multi-billion tech company that was a success.
Good to see that Ray Walston and Monica Lewinski are still getting work
But it was the _first_ movie about the subject, not the _fifth_in_four_years_ (plus TV episodes, thick books, and at this rate probably a Broadway musical sideshow as well).
Most people don’t see movies just because of who directed it.
Vin Diesel, Michael Caine & Elijah Wood.
I will wait until they come out on VHS, if I can only figure out how to program the dammed blinking clock.
“Not a subscriber, so can’t read the whole article.”
All you need to do is copy the title and paste it into Google. When you get to it through Google, you get the entire article.
No, but that's how movies are green-lighted.
It's simple, really. Just wait until midnight and unplug the unit then plug it back in.
Based on a really bad 80's cartoon, who thought this was a good idea??
If they'd asked people if they wanted to see a Steve Jobs biopic most people might say that they wouldn't bother or that they've already seen it. But they don't ask most people.
LOL!
Early afternoon shows on weekdays are no problem.
The digital shafting angle is the latest manifestation but I think the mass genocide of the independent theater and drive-in owners started in the late 60s and ran into the mid to late 80s. Just my non-expert opinion.
I would bet that the new digital projection stuff costs upwards of a hundred grand. If you run on small margins then how the hell do you afford it?
Give us good movies to see! Make more movies too—We have lots of screens to fill. We, conservative Americans, should have our own studio and make our own films—when Patriot are the good guys—good history films, good dramas! Not all Special effects re-treads. Copies of TV shows etc... LIKE:
1. The Voyage of the CSS Alabama —a Civil War piece
2. The life of Sam Houston
3. Wasingtons Spys.
