    Hallmark movies have gotten popular lately at my favorite pegleg establishments. 4 if the 10 in the “featured” list are hallmark.

    Last year I think we’d never see even one.

    It’s because movies really suck now. We’re literally scraping the bottom of the barrel.

    Why do movies suck now?
