Too Many Movies

Yesterday I was talking to my mom, who regularly reads my blog...thanks mom! Anyway, in the course of our conversation, she tells me that I watch too many movies. She's probably right...however, if you think I watch too many movies, check out Nuke's Blog (see link on the right). There's a guy who watches too many movies. Sorry Nuke!

Anyway, I decided that this is a vice I, and those who love me, have to live with. I love movies...I've always loved movies. I remember one summer in high school, I saw 34 movies in the theater...usually going 2-3 times per week. We had a "cheap" theater where I grew up, so it wasn't as expensive as one might think. I just love the escapism of it...which is why I usually choose to watch blockbuster type films. I don't want to think too hard...I just want to sit back, relax and be entertained for 2 hours.

Now, I only get to the theater 3-5 times a year, but I still watch 2-3 movies (or TV shows on DVD) a week at home. Maybe the day will come when I've seen every movie I want to see, but I hope that day doesn't come anytime soon. In the meantime, I'll keep blogging about the movies I watch. After all, part of the fun of a movie is telling other people about it.

I don't think I said you watched TOO MANY movies--just that you watched ALOT of movies :)
