In the New Yorker...
Front-Ranger:
I went to the theater to see "Three Thousand Years of Longing" recently and there was a filmed introduction from the director, saying they had made the movie specifically to be shown in theaters and thanking the audience for coming out. Unfortunately there were only three people in the audience, including me.
What's with people these days? Yesterday I was in my front yard for about an hour and didn't see anyone other than a few people driving, biking, or walking their dog. It was a lovely fall evening.

I just got so used to streaming because it's more convenient and cheaper and I can put it on pause and I didn't want to sit in a theater wearing a mask for two hours.
But some movies are definitely better on big screens, and the popcorn is better than any you can get or make at home.
I assumed Hollywood would prefer theaters for higher profits but either the profits aren't that much higher or they just acquiesced to modern demands.

Just got the new issue. Some of the topics look intriguing.

Mine came in the mail today, too.

The Shouts & Murmurs are back to being stupid and unfunny. For a brief time in midsummer there were 2 or 3 they were genuinely funny. Maybe the regular editor was on vacation. I can't imagine the New Yorker isn't deluged with submissions that are actually amusing, so I don't know why they don't run more.
