Talkie, Film, Flick, Picture Show, Motion Picture...whatever you want to call it, I love movies. Today I'm thankful for movies. While I am a book lover, sometimes I don't have the time to read a novel and a two hour movie is a good substitute.
I like all kinds of movies. Wait, let me correct that, I like many kinds of movies. There are some that I don't care to watch. I'm not sure what genre it would be, but I'm not a huge fan of the creepy, horror movies where the little children in it are demonic or are the only people that can see evil ghosts that are terrorizing everyone else. I can barely sit through the previews. I do, however, love action, comedy, drama, thriller, musical, animated and classic movies.
The bottom line is that I love stories in both their written (book) and visual (film) version. I like renting movies at home, going to the cheap theater for second run movies, watching outside in the park and going to a first run movie.
Tonight I met up with two girlfriends to see the final installment of the Twilight Saga. You may be rolling your eyes about the movie choice, but you can at least agree that a Monday night at the movies with your friends and a purse full of candy from Walgreens is a great Monday night.
I am thankful for movies--all kinds (well except maybe for those creepy kid ones and the new Star Wars with Jar Jar Binks). I'm thankful for the entertainment that they provide and for the break from reality.
In summary, I will quote one of my favorite songs from Annie:
Let's go to the movies!
Let's go see the stars
Red light holler
Deep depression
What do we care?
Movies are there!
Only happy endings
that's our recipe
Welcome to a lovely
M-O-V-I-E
