“I see bad movies”
23rd September, 08
Close your eyes and imagine with me if you will that you are Bruce Willis (I know just bear with me for a minute)… You’re Bruce Willis and I’m Haley Joel Osment. Yes I’m Haley Joel Osment and in my best scarred shitless voice I whisper in your ear…
“I see bad movies!”
Yes dear diary, if we’re going to be friends then I might as well tell you. I might as well disclose my dirty little secret. I see bad movies. I know I know you look at me and you think, here’s a pretty cool chick with her indie cred and designer shoes. I bet she is quite selective about her movie choices. I bet you think I only watch films that are subtitled and or is directed by hipster movie producer with the cinematography this and the juxtaposition that. Nope. Nada. I don’t. I can lie and tell you I do but quite honestly, I LIKE bad movies and I watch lots of them.
Wait now let me define what I think is good (when in fact it might actually be bad). A “good” movie to me is something that I can watch and be entertained for a couple hours. If it can take my mind off the fact I have a pile of orders waiting to be filled, kitties that needs to be fed, taxes that needs to be done, that’s a good movie! If I can multitask and sew some brooches or stuff some gift bags while I watch it and not be totally lost with the story line, now that’s a GREAT movie!
O.K. now if I had a choice I tend to rent/buy/click-on action type movies (Yes a high body count within the first 10 minutes or so is nice), or horror movies. Don’t let the pillow-in-front-of-my-face-for-two-hours fool you. I love them. Zombie movies? Don’t even get me started… I watch them all! The good the bad and the ugly. Comedies are a hit or miss. Most of the time the ones people say are hilaaaaaarious just doesn’t deliver. I’m not a fan of romantic comedies (I find the constant rolling of my eyes interfere with my sewing) and I have to stab myself in the arm repeatedly with a sharp object to sit through any movie with “feelings” (not that I like hurting myself or anything but just to stay awake. yaaaawn).
Now you’re wondering why did I just spend all this time and energy going over this with you? Well with the amount of bad movies I watch the topic is bound to come up in conversation from time to time. I just wanted you to be aware that when it does, and I’m spouting some review or whatever, that you keep in mind what I deem to be a good movie. Buyer beware that I think one of the greatest films of all time is Starship Troopers! Don’t listen to me. Don’t go and rent it. Unless of course you have a sewing project to complete and no amount of blood lust will satisfy.
