Movie Madness - "I don't get it!"

Welcome readers to the first Movie Madness post. A place of worship for those like myself who have a passion for going to the cinema. While the occasional review might be posted in here, this is more about the experience as a whole. Boring so far? Well that’s because we are still in the pre-movie advertising section, where I try sell you the merits of this product in a cheesy advertising voice while showing you cheaply produced slides.

Now for the previews...

Movie Madness is about the movie going experience as a whole, not necessarily the particular movie being seen. Future articles may include descriptive diatribe of a particular patrons patronage, or scintillating stories of sexual stardom in the back row (Not me! Im a pervert, I prefer to watch). There could even be the odd article about what other movie goers thought (if its particularly controversial, or tease-worthy) , and I may even throw in the occasional rant on a great movie that I have just watched (look for these, as they are great opportunity's to poke fun at my weirdness). So stay tuned.

The Main feature.

Now we get to the main event... If you have a similar taste in movies to me, then you would appreciate movies that subtly provide a witty life commentary, and require more thought involved to actually understand. Movies such as Sideways, Serenity, and even Waiting are a few that come to mind. They seem to take the long difficult road to no-where in particular, but in my opinion, they do it in style. Now… What surprises me about these types of movies is that there are people out there that really… Just don’t get them. Which is fair enough, but if you “Don’t get it, then say you don’t get it, or admit that it was a little too cerebral for you, or that you didn’t find it entertaining. I like listening to other peoples opinions, on life, movies, and even politics, but when those people make it clear that they don’t understand something, but still call it a pile of bleeping bleep, it kinda makes me arch my back and think, well hang on… If you don’t get it, then how can you really say whether it’s nonsense or not? Sure, it’s an opinion… But is it really their opinion? Or just a defensive reaction to being made to feel a little dumb cause they don’t get it? Anyway… Each to their own… I guess they are entitled to that opinion, as I’m entitled to think that their opinion is misinformed and ill judged. ;)

Gotta love opinions... So many choices, so many differences, so many right ones so many wrong ones.
