Movie anyone?
I have fond memories of going out to watch movies. I used to be an avid moviegoer B.C. (before C-Man).
I am so looking forward to the day when C-Man can sit through and watch a whole movie with me. Then I might be able to return to the movie theaters again. Aah, the bliss of paying way too much to walk through sticky aisles, sit on some unidentifiable and unnervingly stained seat and the scent of stale popcorn brings a certain joy that only modern American entertainment can provide. All uncertainties vanish once the lights dim and that familiar sound of the conch shell of Consolidated theaters bellows over the speakers and you are whisked away to another realm for anywhere from 90 to 180 minutes. Of course, I think that day’s a long way coming. He won’t even watch Finding Nemo or Toy Story because they’re too scary. Or the other possibility is if I ever date again. The chances of either happening anytime soon are slim to none.
Because my mind is a hole of oblivion, I made a list of upcoming movies I want to see someday (probably on DVD):
Enchanted- cute and mindless fun.
Beowulf- tried to reread this one earlier this year in German w/English on the next page, but failed miserably. Settled for the graphic novel instead, but all I got was a stupid fine for returning the book late (I know, what kind of librarian am I?). I look forward to this movie version, despite the lukewarm reviews.
Love in the time of cholera –finally broke down and bought the damn book since I can’t seem to get my hands on a library copy since Oprah made it one of her books (my copy is lost). Only finished half so far. Have not had a chance to read again since the weather has been dreary and I can't find the book anywhere (I think it's at work now).
I am legend – will make an some attempt to see this one at the theater. Will Smith is brilliant and oh, so sexy.
Sweeney Todd- I love musicals. Okay, I love live musicals, movie ones are so-so.
Juno- looks witty and like something I’d like to watch.
Grace is gone- can’t do this one in the theater. Will wait for DVD, need box of tissue.
National treasure: book of secrets- liked the first movie. I love the whole genre of religious/historical/secret society thrillers.
Be kind rewind- Sounds hilarious. Sis: you probably hates Jack Black too since you hate Will Ferrell, but come on, you have to admit that Blades of Glory was pure genius.
My mood: tired, need to wake up early to catch a plane
