Musing on Movies



I love movies, but I really don't watch them as often as I would like to. I don't pay for TV, so my options are Netflix or the theaters. Let's be real here: most of the movies on Netflix are crap. There is a time and place for crappy movies, but I would much rather read a book. There are a few gems on Netflix: it kind of reminds me of shopping at a flea market, picking through a thousand useless things until you find a quiet treasure. The movie theaters are great with friends. Sometimes I go movie-hopping, where I pay to see one movie and stay and watch two or three. My favorite movie is probably Les Miserables, because I'm a sap and it's one of the few movies that makes me cry every time. That coupled with the incredible soundtrack...perfection. I'm also in love with Ferris Bueller's Day Off: I watch it every time I don't quite make it to school.  
There are my results from the quiz:
    YOU ARE 33% EXTROVERTED.
    You are moderate in activity and enthusiasm. You enjoy the company of others but you also value your privacy. 

    YOU ARE 50% AGREEABLE.
    You are generally warm, trusting, and agreeable, but you can sometimes be stubborn and competitive. 

    YOU ARE 42% CONSCIENTIOUS.
    You are easygoing, not very well organised, and sometimes careless. You prefer not to make plans. 

    YOU ARE 42% EMOTIONALLY STABLE.
    You are generally calm and able to deal with stress, but you sometimes experience feelings of guilt, anger and sadness. 

    YOU ARE 100% OPEN TO NEW EXPERIENCES.
    You are open to new experiences. You have broad interests and are very imaginative. 
    If my life was a movie, it would be weird and over-complicated, with little coffee cups hidden everywhere.

  1. How fun and fitting to watch Ferris on your off days...that is a classic from my youth. And I know what you mean about Netflix--I often wonder why we even have it; the treasures you speak of are so few and far between. Thanks for building a blog and jumping in to our class! We are glad to have you.

  2. I love movie hopping - my best friend and I perfected the art of it a few summers ago and now we almost never just see one movie (but we always only pay for one...)!
