I found Helen Liston’s remarks about “Russian Jews” in her recent “venting”(as she called it) letter to the editor offensive.
I come from a family of Russian Jews who legally immigrated to the United States over 100 years ago to escape the Pogroms, where Russian Jews were slaughtered for religious reasons, pre-dating WWII by 50 years.

Once upon a very long time ago, I loved watching movies. I always saw the latest releases, the biggest blockbusters and even the worst flops. I knew the actors, the directors and the studios. Then, somewhere along the way, I seem to lose interest.
When I was a child, my exposure to movies was very limited.
