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.

Amen.

There is something vaugely creepy about paying ten bucks to eat popcorn and enjoy someone elses pain and heartbreak...

Now if there are sword fights or laser battles, that is a different matter...

Exactly. Who needs to go to a theater for that when we have LJ?

And big explosions. And invading aliens.

Big explosions are key. Invasions are key.

Otherwise, I completely agree. I don't get why movies are so vastly entertaining. But then, I'm out of the loop on a lot of things.

But you & your dear hubby are so nice to look at that no one cares how out of the loop you might be. :-)

Well, isn't that a nice way to work a compliment into the conversation. [pats chair] Come sit by me.

And tell me about my eyes.
