MOVIES!

[Reginald Ret]

Heh, i was on the other side in this scenario.
My friend who works at a comic store didn't know who Flash Gordon was.
So i got all annoyed and indignant and stuff.
I Practically forced her to watch the 1980's  movie and im pretty sure she didn't really enjoy it.

though this would have been hilarious

Highly reccomending Firefly/Serenity

I stay relatively up to date on movies, I don't have enough time to sit and read for any good length of time, so it's a great way to get in a story.

I watch movies like a junkie pops pills but I also refuse to watch anything I "absolutely must" Tell me why and I might listen. Even if it's popcorn blockbuster tripe but the fx are well done and the ott action just believable enough to be funny. I prefer it if you can tell me about the cinematography or the direction, some little nuance that the actor brought to his characterisation but now we're into serious bizness territory - the real reason I watch movies - the same reason someone who's serious about art stares at a painting. Some of it is just soaking it all in but the deconstruction is much more fun. I guess even those weirdos who are always telling me I absolutely HAVE to read books probably get that as well but I won't do it. Drowning in a sea of someone elses verbs doesn't do it for me - I'd rather catch the movie. So it's nowhere near as good as the pile of decaying woodpulp - I can live with that.

Some books or films offer certain 'concept sets' or metaphors etc that are useful to use as reference points in certain types of discussions. If I'm reccomended a work in regard to an expansion of the ideas being used in a certain area, then I'll try to get into it rather quickly. That said, I don't take book recommendation as I'm knee deep in my present reading list.

Thanks for the recipe on how to make you watch whatever most shitty movie I want you to watch

There are tons of "big" or "landmark" movies I've not seen.  I've never really been much of a movie buff.  I loved Star Wars when it came out but it came out when I was a kid and I was into spaceships and robots and junk.  The LOTR franchise came out at a point in my life when I really needed some escapism and those movies really fit the bill.  Otherwise, I only go to the theater for date nights.  Whatever the wife is into seeing I'll tag along.  So there's tons of shit I've never seen and probably never will.
