I'm not doing the movie meme.

I'd like to say I'm not doing it because I don't want to f*** up everyone's web browsing but the flat truth is that I don't really care much for movies. I'm not sure I've seen more than 1-2 per year for most of the past couple of decades. Nope, haven't seen "Brokeback Mountain" and am not planning to.

There's enough drama/comedy/horror/war/fantasy/explosions in my real life available at no (financial) cost that paying $10 for a movie ticket seems somehow excessively masochistic.

Some local DC cinemas are having family-friendly matinees on weekdays. Ticket prices are greatly reduced, kids under a certain age are free, space is made available for strollers, etc., and the house lights are only dimmed 2/3 rather than full so parents can monitor/assist their kids more easily. I've heard one theater has an intermission mid-way through the movie to help parents perform kiddie maintenance (diaper changes, bottle feedings, etc.) without having to miss scenes.

Sadly, we are nowhere near civilization, and that sort of kid-friendly stuff might as well be happening on the moon :P

Plus, many of the movies *I* have wanted to see lately weren't rated G.

Harry Potter 4 (after I've seen the DVD's of the first 3)
