Don’t come around much anymore.

So, I went to the movies.

Finally the other day, I made it to a movie theater again. This was the first time I set foot in a movie theater since sitting through the drek that was Avatar, a Disney film masquerading as high entertainment with plot holes bigger than the Lincoln Tunnel.

Part of the choice of movie was about negotiation because I was in very pleasant company but, since we agreed on a Fincher film (and I really like David Fincher and the company) it was a win/win all around for me.

So, I went to see the social network...

I started this back in 2010 and in the ensuing seven years my opinion of Avatar remains unchanged. I did not see the Social Network in a movie theater so I’m wondering what exactly happened and who I was supposed to be going with because that never came off.

I don’t go to the movies so much anymore. I’ve got a friend who appears to enjoy the Friday night opening weekend movie but that isn’t my speed. The thought of standing in line to be in a crowded theater and likely have someone kicking my seat or talking around me doesn’t propel me to running out and spending close to twenty bucks on a movie ticket.

I’m one of those people who is really happy to go after something has been in the theaters for awhile on a weekend more or a Monday night or during a weekday and there is very little now that I can see warranting going to a movie theater to see.

Aside from the fifteen minutes of commercials you now have to sit through BEFORE the show even starts, it just isn’t fun like it used to be. Never mind the thought of picking up bedbugs or something else in a theater... yuck!
