So I know how I watch movies which is on my laptop, man. And that's how I suspect a lot of people do it.
I really don't have any solutions and I don't like movies that do.
Comedy. It was just huge in my house. Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness, Monty Python and all those James Bond movies were highly regarded.
