When I did my military service they showed film like every wednesday or something and you bought this monthly card so you could see them. They always had a break in the middle of the thing when they changed the film rolls or whatever. When they showed Robin Hood: Men in Tights I didn't go back after that break. If there hadn't been a break I probably would have sat through it, but on the other hand, considering how boring the life was in the military and how few things we had to do it is a amazing that I rather stared into a wall than watched a bad movie.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.
