Last night I went to the movies.
I really missed doing this, I love film and wished:
a. Movie ticket prices weren't constantly climbing. This is an issue considering how many movies I want to see.
b. I had more time to go.
c. I developed some shame and watched "The Hurt Locker" or something instead of five episodes of "Frank the Entertainer's Basement Affair" in a row. I have yet to see "A Single Man"! It's directed by Tom Ford! I should really get it together.
Anyway, while in the theater a preview for some movie starring The Rock came on, which in turn reminded me of every movie starring The Rock. I had a theory about these "films". On busy times like Christmas [Holler Jew Christmas, I participate], summer nights, midnight premieres, etc. movies often sell out, correct? Often people drove all the way out there, so they're like "Whatever, let's go see something else, what's playing?" Everything is sold out but...
THAT is how they get stuck seeing things like The Rock in fairy wings.
I would like to believe the only market for these absurd films is these accidental movie goers. Now, I am not a huge movie snob. Though I do like foreign movies and I enjoy a little b&w, I won't shun a little "Superbad" and I often quote "Stepbrothers" with my former roommates. They're funny! What I cannot accept is movies where TIME and MONEY is being used to produce something of the quality mentioned above!
[This isn't even that horrible, just incredibly bizarre.]
I want to meet someone who likes these movies. I want to meet someone who doesn't answer "Romances" or "Dramas" when asked their favorite genre of film, but rather "I like movies with the worst possible humor, script, and actors." Where are these people?! They obviously exist! Introduce yourself to me, I'm curious about you.
♥ Lini.
