i’m a big movie watcher – at least i used to be.. i would watch movies while i did other stuff.. cleaning, homework, programming etc.. i’m mostly into comedies, but whatever.. so i downloaded a clockwork orange a couple weeks ago and it’s been sitting on my server since then, and i’m really wondering if i want to watch it… i started one day at work and shut it off after like 10 minutes. i started thinking about some other movies that i haven’t watched, purposely.. like schindler’s list, and natural born killers. i had a discussion with some peeps about it recently, and i was kind of like “i don’t want to watch a movie where i come out and feel totally drained, like it’s work to get through it.” i don’t want to be depressed after watching a movie, and i’m not against movies that make me think, but i don’t want to exit a theatre and feel like i’ve just been beaten fiercely around the head and neck area. dig what i’m saying? and i wouldn’t even say i’m picky about the movies i watch. “stupid comedy? sounds good. jim carrey in his 3rd grade play? sounds good. funky midget softcore on tbs? i’ll give it a look-see. excessively moral pseudo-drama? i’m up for it. 3 hour black and white holocaust drama? hmmm.. i think i’ll pass.” anyone else have any movies that they’ve been purposely avoiding? why?
