Whoa, today our group went to see "Elecktra". All I am going to say is: WOW! Nothing revealed about the movie, but it was my sort of film! I know that real life is out here, but I don't have to like it, do I? If I were the only one, then the actors who make the movies they do, wouldn't get the BIG BUCKS they get. So, don't be sarcastic, or doubtful, as to the veracity I exibit towards what is totally my reaction, to this movie, okay? I could live in a movie theater.
Watching one made up existance after the other. Anything from A to Z. I like to laugh, I like to cry, I like to be afraid, very afraid, I like to be emotionally stimulated, by some events that I pray that I will never have to live throught myself. I like to be entertained, whether I'm paying for it, or someone else is. For that time, I am in the zone. When it was Star Wars, it was the best, when it was Star Trek, it was the best, when it was Harry Potter, it was the best, when it was Matrix, it was the best, when it was XXX, Vin was the best, oh, and Riddick too!
It's like a billionaire kid, in a Mall sized candy store. I don't have to chose, I can have it all. Some of us like, "only this type of entertainment", hey, if that's your thing, don't justify it to anyone. It's your choice, me, I'm just the type of person who wants to have it all! I once sat and read a book about the infrastructure of a city that was being planned, because I had never heard of anything like that before. After I read it, did I like it or understand why you have to map out everything just so? No, but I'm glad that I took the time to read the information. Well, now I don't remember it, but once I did. I don't want to have all the experiences that are available to be had. (But), if it is in a form that I think I would enjoy, bring it on. Movies, non-pornographic movies, and non snuff-movies, (hey, I've heard that those things do exist, so I am just clarifying), most of any others I am interested in seeing. Even movies that I don't know the language, but are sub-titled, or dubbed, I'll sit through. Gosh, I want to know of other cultures, I 'm not a purist. Only American movies, for us good ol' United States born people! Nah, I wanna see what they're doing "over there". I even wanta know, how they're growing rice, or making bread, or going to school, or falling in love. I wanta see if they're making peace with their enemies. Maybe we can learn something usefull ourselves. 'Cause even though Americans say stuff like, "America, for Americans", many of them that says it, mean "their own kind" of Americans. They may not even be "Native American", either. So, that is the type of stuff I would rather not be involved with, even though I am born here, and have a terrible mixed-up genetic background, myself. I like to be "in the dark", eating popcorn, watching something that came out of the minds of some of the most creative beings on this earth! As far back as I can remember, was to a theater in our home town, and my momma had just given birth to a new little brother for us kids. By the way, I was one of three girls, in a family of 10 kids. So, this one night my daddy was giving my momma a rest, and took us older kids to see, "The Giant Behemoth". He paid like 10 cents apiece for all of us, and 15 cents for himself. Then he got us each a bag of popcorn! Oh, good times, good times. Except, that I spent the next 85 or so minutes hiding behind the seat in front of me, screaming my scared head off, as the other people in the show kept screaming "shut that damn kid up, we can't hear the movie"!!! Yeah, they may have wished he hadn't introduced me to those thrills and chills, but it was the start of a brand new life for me! I didn't really see the movie, until many years later, when it was played on television, and I was a lot older and could hold my terror. Oh, man, I thought that was the best thing ever. Big huge screen, loud noises, action.
I loved them all. Horror, Suspense, Cowboys and Indians, Love Stories, Documentaries. Whatever, bring 'em on!!! Now, fifty years later, I've still not see my fill of movies. When the actors die, as years go by, I say, "Thank you, for the memories". I want to turn to someone, and say, "remember them in that movie"? Alot of times though, whoever I'm with happens to be too young to remember what I'm talking about. So, I'll just go back into my own memory. Yeah, I love the movies. And this last one, "Elektra"? That was like the 1,000,000,000th, cherry on top of the "banana split", that I started enjoying, oh so long ago. Movies, yummy!!!
