Well, I can’t actually even remember when I was to a theater to see a movie. Wait. I think it was to see the last ‘Star Wars’ movie! I grew up with ‘Star Wars’ and in fact it was my total obsession through my teens so I had to see how Darth Vader came into being. The original three movies were awesome in their day but the newer ones don’t seem to meet the standard. Yeah they are great action flicks, if you’re into that which I’m not. I wish there would’ve been less emphasis on the needless action and more play on the dialog, which could’ve been written too,with deeper development of the political plots and interpersonal relationships that were not fully fleshed out for the sake of the action.
I like movies but for some reason don’t find them enticing enough to go to a theater. Or maybe it’s the waiting in line, or the worrying about when would be a good time to get up and go to the bathroom (because I will have to at some point) so there is that stress. Or maybe it’s being sequestered away deep inside a dark cavernous building with no windows or visible signs of the outside world. I prefer to wait for them to come On Demand or on cable. Or maybe a boyfriend would change that perspective… who knows?
I can’t really say that I have a favorite movie, but if I’m pressed… ‘The Ghost & Mrs. Muir.‘ Erase any picture you have conjured of the campy 70s sitcom with Charles Nelson Riley… it is nothing like it. Nope nothing at all except the very basic concept of a woman moving to a cottage by the sea and encountering the ghost of dead sea captain. This 1949 film, that horrendous series was based on, starred Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison in a romantic drama and has always had a special place in my heart for some reason which is odd because generally I hate old films, especially black and white ones. But I do long to live in a cottage by the sea, sans ghosts of course.
