    Our facility is partially reopened and our comfortable theater will allow a few residents as long as they wear masks and social distance. There is twenty recliner chairs and several sofas and side chairs. No popcorn or beverage allowed tonight.

    Which one? Redford or DiCaprio?

    Man, I miss the days when these movies played on a Sunday afternoon.

    I only gave it 20 minutes but that was enough.

    I thought you were watching it in the theater? Were you in there alone? Sorry it was a dud.

    I had the same reaction to the first one starring Robert Redford. Didn't read the book. Maybe that's why.

    Every time I've read the book first, I've really hated the movie.

    I did read To Kill A Mockingbird after I had see the move a million times, and was surprised that I felt as though I were reading the movie's script.

    Yeah, as I recall there wasn't a lot of talking in the movie (Great Gatsby). I got the feeling you were expected to know what was going on. That's why I thought the book might have helped. I was really lost through most of it.
