So Many to Choose From by allie912

So Many to Choose From

I don’t go to the movies often, but John and I really wanted to see They Shall Not Grow Old and it finally came to Richmond. The movie was extraordinary, but my antipathy for movie theaters was confirmed. The listings said the show started at 1:20 so we got to our seats at 1:10 prepared to settle in. Unfortunately we were subjected to the LOUDEST barrage of ads and trailers for 20 minutes without pause. Even with ear plugs I could hardly stand it. Fortunately when the movie itself started there were no additional problems and it was worth the loss of hearing. If you want to know what movie drew me out of my self-imposed cocoon, check it out. https://youtu.be/EHYRfukHToc Especially my British friends.
This was on BBC television in November 2018.
It was well received by public and press.
My Grandfather was in the Somme (he was lucky enough to return, albeit via a hospital bed)

@phil_howcroft I noticed in the credits one of the groups represented was from Nottingham.

@allie912 Allison , my Grandad was from Bolton in Lancashire (an industrial cotton town at the time, he worked in the cotton mills after the war)

I always get to the movie 10-15 minutes after the start time, I don't need to watch all the ads
