Estoy bien. Acabo de salir del cine. \u00a1Qu\u00e9 perdida de tiempo! La pel\u00edcula era mal\u00edsima.<br \/>\nDavid: \u00a1Siempre lo son hoy en d\u00eda!<br \/>\nOlivia: Supongo que nos estamos haciendo mayores. Pero creo que las pel\u00edculas eran mucho mejores cuando \u00e9ramos ni\u00f1os.<br \/>\nDavid: Supongo que es normal pensar eso. Pero las pel\u00edculas son para todas las edades. Deber\u00eda haber algo que disfrut\u00e1ramos.<br \/>\nOlivia: Las pel\u00edculas para todos los p\u00fablicos sol\u00edan ser mucho mejores hace treinta a\u00f1os. Ahora tenemos pel\u00edculas en 3D y muchas opciones con canales de streaming como Netflix. Pero aunque hay millones de pel\u00edculas, nunca encuentro ninguna que me guste.<br \/>\nDavid: Los efectos especiales son asombrosos.<br \/>\nOlivia: \u00a1Pero los guiones y las tramas son una basura!<br \/>\nDavid: No creo que les falte talento a los actores y a las actrices.<br \/>\nOlivia: No, son los guionistas.<br \/>\nDavid: Quiz\u00e1s deber\u00edamos ver m\u00e1s cine independiente. Pel\u00edculas francesas. Pel\u00edculas japonesas. Pel\u00edculas escandinavas. No s\u00e9.<br \/>\nOlivia: No me gustan las pel\u00edculas subtituladas. Siempre me distrae el texto y no puedo leer y mirar al mismo tiempo.<br \/>\nDavid: Sin embargo, los documentales modernos son incre\u00edbles. \u00bfNo te parece?<br \/>\nOlivia: Oh, s\u00ed. Tienes raz\u00f3n. Ahora hay muchos documentales muy interesantes y emocionantes. Es cierto, han mejorado. Recuerdo que los documentales de antes eran muy aburridos.<br \/>\nDavid: Estoy de acuerdo con tus opiniones sobre las pel\u00edculas modernas. \u00a1Pero est\u00e1 claro que nos estamos haciendo mayores!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, how did you get on?
