VERBAL OVER VISUAL

Friday ritual Barton Creek Cinema-first release front row
(used to be TinselTown on Stassney until they turned generic
now the summer holidays have turned all intellect down
Nothing worth the viewing.Nothing worth the price of admission
The quality of scripting less worthy of radio than widescreen
Special effects just bombs and guns and frowns
THE OTHER GUYS,SALT,mere animated childrens entertainment
so the children bring their parents (with a killing on concessions!
I would rather spill my rhyme upon their limitations
than spend money and time proving how few films reward time
Dollar BLOCKBUSTER ,free HULU-choices present
yet is our true need for summer-distractive entertainments?
INCEPTION IMAX and 3D the new AVATAR-we
need substance before our eyes and ears can commit
to a filmed version of distraction sold as entertainment
Turn to the radio(community-feel the need
to meet the vacuum of our conversation
in this heat,it takes more than air conditioning
to fix emotional global warming
