I am not a movie or TV person, cause ironically enough I find that I don't have the attention span for it. But because of my lack of attention span, I can't be bothered to be interested in the same thing at a later date.
I made a promise to my self about a month ago, I would spend the next year not being right, just dance. Do you remember my blog post? I had some responses questioning if I was okay. I meant I was going to try and just live this year. Along with that promise, I decided I would try and dedicate my time to watching classic films.
If there is anything I can't stand besides watching movies really far apart, is when people ask me.
Person: It's like such and such.
Me: What?
Person: Haven't you seen Star Wars?
Me: No..
Person: How do you exist?!
Person: How do you exist?!
Me: With ease?
Person: How did you manage not to see it?!
Me: The first one was released in 1977, the lack of my existing could help.
Person: Well you could watch it now.
Me: At this moment?
Person: Yeah.
Me: The combined movie length is 12 hours and 42 seconds.
Person: You don't have to watch them all at once.
Me: ...
Do you see the cycle I go through? Movies need to send me updates on twitter informing me if they are going to impede my ability to exist. Just saying.
Bah. About twice a year me and a friend get together and watch all six Star Wars movie then IMMEDIATELY all three LotR flicks . . . it's worth it.
ReplyDeleteOf course we approach near-crippling delirium as a result of sleep loss by the end of it, but by taking LotR out of the equation you're reducing the time spent at least by half ;)
