You have to enjoy yourself when you go to the movies. People don't want to spend their hard earned money to simply go see a history lesson.

My parents separated when I was 2, and my dad always lived in Chicago and my mother in L.A. I'd go back and forth and sometimes spend the summer with my dad, but L.A. was home.

Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.
