I was very surprised to see this NOT on PBS!!!  🤔

FROM ARTICLE.

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (in theaters Sept. 12).

The 1930s bring money trouble to the well-born Crawleys. Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) gets ejected from a society event because she’s scandalously divorced (so unladylike!), and Harold Levinson (Paul Giamatti, 58), the yacht-loving playboy brother of Cora (Elizabeth McGovern, 64), is back from America.

➡️[*** I guess I will wait to see IF it ends up back on PBS.

Any Downtown Abbey fans out there?

What 2025 movies have you watched or plan to watch?

Take care,

 have never watched much Downton Abbey, but I might watch this movie. It seems like a series I would like, I just never committed or took the time to watch the whole show. 

The Long Walk seems intriguing, I will probably see that. Tron and Nuremburg as well. 
I really love the Now You See Me movies. I will definitely be seeing that. Hamnet could be up my alley. The other films in the list didn't particularly stand out to me. With all these movies I want to watch, I have been seriously considering signing up for one of those movie theater subscription/rewards programs. I love watching movies in the theater 🙂

Thanks for stopping by Matthew @MatthewP230724 !!! I do miss going to the cinema or drive in. In regards to the cinema, way too many "rude" folks = cannot "hear" movie. The drive in, that is from the OLD days. Lol, yes I am OLD compared to your age. I think you said 24??? I am 67 this month. I am NOT one to sit & watch movies but do like PBS Masterpiece. Take care, Nicole (Entertainment Forum)

A lot of the cinemas I go today have those big recliner seats that make you feel like you're the only person in the room. I recently went to an older style theater which I loved. Sometimes I like hearing other people's reactions and feeling like we are watching the movie together. But some people can be rude and take it too far, of course.

I wonder if there are any drive-in movies still operating that I could go to before the weather gets too cold. Maybe I will have to wait for next summer. Looks like the closest one to me is 80 miles away 😅

Also I love to watch PBS so much.
