Those spoilsports who said science fiction would rot your mind… Maybe they weren’t so far wrong, after all. Like for instance:

Hey! Has there been yet another Star Wars movie since I wrote this? I’ve lost count. Now that I’m no longer a liquidator, I’ve lost any reason I had for keeping track of Star Wars movies.
3 more Star Wars movies have been made since 2015.
Holy moly. I could’ve cleaned up, if I were still a liquidator.
The original Star Wars was an exceptional movie, but I don’t feel that the sequels were up to snuff. I watched one a while back and thought it was mediocre at best.
I liked the first one. In fact, I might have written the first review of it: we got to see it in a sneak preview.
That would have been quite a privilege.
I was the movie reviewer for The Bayshore Independent, and at that time, no one had heard of Star Wars. Patty and I were the only viewers in the theater. The manager was a friend, and he wanted me to review this movie that had him pretty excited. I came back with stills for the paper, too. So if our review was not the first, it was certainly among the first.
That’s the problem. Lots of not so good movies to review.
It was better in the 70s–although there were a lot of rotters. A reviewer can’t go only to good movies. At least I got into the theaters for free.
These days, you’d have to have a strong tolerance for Comic Book Hero garbage.
P.S.: The flip side of being a movie reviewer: “Wizards.” “Mandingo.” You get the idea.
