“The Yalkut in Shemos 1 says (among other reasons) that the problem the Egyptians had with us is that we filled their theaters and circuses. “
Theaters and circuses in ancient times were completely different from theaters and circuses today.

True. But it needs to be pointed out that many of our rabbis do not see movies or theater as asur.
“Actually the modern are the exception. They, b’shitta, don’t have to listen to the words of their leaders. Much like the non-Orthodox. “

Rav Lichtenstein and Rav Willig are both 100% correct. There is a difference between asking for advice and asking a halachic shilah. I can’t believe that it is even an issue.
