Should Be in Black and White

8> Increase canine theater attendance a thousandfold.

7> Producers can pawn off even lame flicks to Ted Turner as “classics.”

6> Makes it easier to watch all the mandatory snot jokes in today’s children’s movies.

5> Actors in low-budget horror films will be pleased that fake blood can be made from chocolate syrup rather than ketchup.

4> People will assume Keith Richards’ 40-foot-tall face in the new Scorsese film is some color other than gray.

3> Your 20-foot Philco TV console would again become high tech.

2> Helps preserve our nation’s dwindling supply of Technicolor.
