Monday

the only reason we could afford it is we are all senior citizens and we went to a Monday afternoon matinee, where we were four of about ten people in the theatre.

I usually just wait until they come out on streaming. The last few times before the downton movie, the music was too loud and if it was played in a scene where there was conversation, the music drowned out what the characters were saying. The actors seemed to whisper, mumble or sound like they were talking with their mouths full, rendering them unintelegible. And it's just to expensive.
