Movies are awesome
Jul/080
So, for a long time I wanted to work in movies. I wanted to write screenplays specifically, but I think that I would have done just about anything. I still sort of do, but I am no longer in a “take the plunge to LA” position anymore. I have a kid and I have bills and I’m not leaving Wisconsin anytime soon. So somewhere along the way I realized that it is most likely not what I am going to do with my life and I’ve accepted it to an extent. That’s fine, but somewhere along the way I lost my love of movies. Maybe it was just the constant letdown of movies I wanted to be good failing to live up to my expectations. Maybe it was my lack of a decent local movie theater. Maybe I’ve seen so many damn movies that I can see plot twists coming more than half the time. I don’t really know what it was, but somewhere along the line I stopped watching movies. I had Netflix for 6 months and didn’t watch one movie, it was crazy. Things are different now though. I’ve been watching movies like wildfire and I am LOVING it. I realize why I wanted to be in that stupid business for so long and am even thinking about writing again. I hope to have some mini-reviews up of stuff I’ve seen lately including two movies that now rank among my favorites of ALL TIME. Good times.
