Seen Anything Good Lately?

When I first bought a domain and started writing, I would give little reviews of movies quite often. This was largely driven off the fact that I watched an insane amount of movies. This meant that I wasn’t really spending time doing much of anything else so I didn’t have anything else to write about anyway. In more recent times, though, I’ve really cut back on how many movies I watch. I have that Blockbuster Total Access thing, and have actually had it for a few years now. I love that they do the change your envelope for a rental thing, that basically means that if I wanted to, I could be watching about 2 or three movies a day. That’s crazy. I have been going out less lately, but I still haven’t been doing many movies. I probably only watch less than one a week now. I do miss watching and reviewing, though. Even though my reviews usually just consisted of me pointing out all of the negative things in the movie. I guess I shouldn’t say I reviewed as much as I criticized. The problem was that there are just so few good movies. Especially this crap that they put out now. There is so much wrong with these movies that it is really easy to just tear them apart. By contrast, I recently watched The Philadelphia Story with Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, and James Stewart. This is a movie that was made in 1940 and is leaps and bounds better than what we have today. There is great acting, good humor, and a really good story. Why is it that we don’t have quality stuff like that anymore? Look at this summer. Nearly every movie that is coming out this summer is a sequel to something, or looks so horrible that it probably should have never been made in the first place. Those two aren’t mutually exclusive, either. Why do so many people say how disappointed they are in the crap that Hollywood gives us, yet this stuff is still getting made and making millions? Why are we having record breaking movies coming out that really aren’t that good? Stop going to see the crappy movies, and maybe then we’ll stop getting them. If you feel like you just have to go see something, at least wait a few weeks so the theater gets the money instead of the studio.
