Regal Cinemas movie subscriptions are reportedly coming this month

Not that this is necessarily a bad thing. It could discourage people […]

[ad_1] Cue also downplayed claims that Apple was shying away from mature content. He pointed out that the Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon project, The Morning Show, had issues, language and other aspects that were “definitely not appropriate” to watch with a child.
