It's sad that if I go to NYC I only seek out revivals of dramatic classics like "All My Sons" and the upcoming Marisa Tomei starrer, "The Rose Tattoo," a Tennessee Williams classic. Hell, even Spielberg is getting into the act with an unnecessary remake of "West Side Story" (though his excellent casting of theatrical professionals make that one interesting.) And don't get me started on the Juke Box theatrical musicals. Gag!!!

Creativity is moving to streaming & episodic tv. There is a ton of original content at your fingertips via those venues and with a home cinema I enjoy them all cinematically!
