This hot summer has dulled me a bit I fear and sure can’t let that happen. Yet. I’ve taken enough walks on the mild side so was trying to spice things up a bit in a very unwild way. Let’s not go crazy here. So I went to see Jurassic World and really liked it! What’s not to like about big, amazing creatures that can have very interesting personalities. And eat people. Ahhhh to be an adolescent boy again. (For all you millions of followers I’m not announcing anything that wild here.) I’ve seen a lot of movies this year which have been quite good. And quite adult. And slowwwww. And made me think. What’s with that? Time for a change. Going ‘out’ to see a movie was always kind of tricky. The whole dinner/movie evening was just never a good idea. Dinner first, sleep through the late movie. Movie first, struggle to see my watch in the dark wanting the movie to end so I could go to dinner #drink. So the occasional movie I saw had to be a ‘must see’ and I think I just got bad advice. Most award winners were bizarre, or trying too hard, and sometimes just sucky to this brilliant Boomlennial. Now, however, I’ve mastered the perfect movie nightish. That late matinee followed by #drinks and dinner is the way to go. You get those senior ugh matinee prices, the theater is fairly empty, and you can be entertained with all kinds of random sh*t. No high expectations. Enjoy! Soon the summmer blockbusters will be gone (and what does that word blockbuster refer to anyway???) and the more serious subjects of the deep, dark winter will be upon us. (That was quite a dramatic sentence. I do have electricity and heat geesh. Settle down.) For now, however, I’m going to expand my genre of movies and hope I don’t start playing video games next. Or get zits. Oops, still have those. Better tread lightly here and simmer that young spirit animal down a bit. Whoa Nelly. Do they still make Westerns? Now that would be ‘must see’. Bonanza in 3-D hmmm….
