You know why I hate movies? I was talking to a friend last night who admitted to seeing Twilight seven times in theaters. Seven times!?!? I mean, did they pay all seven times? I don't think there is a film in existence that is worth seeing in theaters seven times. And of all the movies to watch...Twilight!? I don't get it. I just do not understand the craze over that movie, book, franchise, whatever it's called. All these sad, romance-starved women have to read a book about a vampire to feel giddy about their lives? I mean, in real life vampires are scary, weird, dangerous, revolting. If you met a vampire in an alleyway, you'd scream like a mofo. If it's Eddie Cullen though you pass out. I hate movies.
You know why I hate movies? Because people don't get movies. They don't understand what's so great about movies. There are people who's minds are so linear they couldn't see a box if they are shown a square. They see the world as one thing and not a million things. How can someone see a movie that so blatantly insults their intelligence? How can someone see a movie that offers no moral, ethical, residual value? When I think of your average movie fan I think of how R.P. McMurphy was after his lobotomy. Your average fan doesn't understand what makes a movie a good movie. They don't even understand what makes a bad movie good to them, they just think it's good! I hate movies.
