hardly one star now

it used
to be the plot
that put you in your seat
at the bijou.
the characters, the story.
whether mystery
or romance,
high drama of some sort.
all of it
on the big screen.
the writing bringing it
all together
with masterful strokes
of a pen,
but now
it's comic book heroes
and villains,
monsters and special
effects.
repeat and rinse
again and again.
