Butch, after reading for a while I am constantly amazed how clearly you articulate your thoughts. Sometimes it could be a little more succinct but I am still left with a vivid picture of what you are trying to say or thoughts that you have. Also for someone as practical as myself it makes me want to open up and take a closer look at the world around me and not only the current problem/situation at hand.
Kirk, ever thought of writing something of a social criticism/analysis/philosophical column. . .it's enjoyable stuff, gets me thinking and since I want more, it would provide you with a motivation/deadline for making the next one. =D
Clearly, you should just use the word 'cinema' - that will remove any stage theatre / movie theatre issues you may have! :-P
