fanatic.

I am a MOVIE-FREAK.

No matter how many times I may have watched a movie, I can still manage to waste my time watching it again. I keep telling myself to pull away from the television. TV is bad. It robs you of your time, your brain, your life. aiye. Maybe another day. Maybe I'll surrender another day.

Movies i've watched in the last month:
Bend it like Beckham
Happy Gilmore
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Da Vinci Code
Matchpoint
The Family Stone
While you were sleeping
Elizabethtown
Mona Lisa Smile

Movies I want to see:
X3: The Last Stand
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Happy Feet
Kinky Boots
Derailed
The Break up
You, Me, and Dupree
The Lake House

When I watch movies, I get so tied into the plot that I don't necessarily recognize the holes and pitfalls. There's my empathy for you. Therefore, i get easily swayed and emotional. Horrors are no good for me. Because I can't see past the movie and realize it is all gimmicks and story-telling. Man, even typing about horror movies is giving me the creeps.

Anyway. I need to face reality. I can't keep thinking my life is like one of those fairy tale movies. Prince Charming isn't going to come knocking on my door. My career isn't going to fall into my lap. My family will fight but won't necessarily make up at the end. Life isn't a movie. Life is real. I need to face it. And stop living in my own little wonder world.
