Hollywood. They siphoned my money. Seriously. Right out of my wallet into the land of silicon … The number of movies I saw this summer, it’s pretty much ridiculous. Amongst the trips to the theater (located conveniently 2 blocks from my apartment in Philly) to the streamed ones on my computer, I can safely assure myself of having seen around thirty, if not forty, movies this summer.
I admit, for a college kid on break, that might not seem too astounding, but factor in a forty hour work week and I can assure you my life has consisted of either work or movies (and sometimes even both).
For example, I just happened to have finished watching The Hangover, while at work. It’s hard to judge a comedy when confined to a stifling hot corridor at work where my laughter to any slightly comical scenes would surely have been unwelcome. That’s one lesson learned. Don’t attempt to watch a comedy in a scenario where you are afraid to laugh. It most likely will detract from the movie…
However, I can’t complain too much. Seriously, I just got paid $14 to watch that movie. Oh well. Looks like I might go see another frivolous movie tonight just for the hell of it. Or maybe some free bowling….that requires one to buy $10 worth of food.
