sorta got a kick out of the Whine Line in the METRO SPIRIT,someone called and complained “young gangsters are taking over the 20 plex”.What,I bet they slid thru one of the many Exit doors,A young Gangster buy a ticket?

This just in,THE RUSKIN FAMILY DRIVE-IN could be driven out of business if it can’t find the cash to convert to digital. Well,that is about all I am reading,mom and pop outfits getting the dog ditch.What was so bad about 35mm film.Progess I know,tell it to the Ruskin’s folks,tell it to them.
