Now that I'm starting to get a bit more normal of a life, I'm really starting to miss movies. And movie season is just starting, so there are so many that I am desparate to see. Peter has always been my movie partner, but now that one of us has to watch Andy, I'm stuck. Do I skip all the movies I want to see and hope that I'll eventually get to them on netflix (and have time to watch them at home without pausing 5 times and watching them over four days) or do I go alone? I'm hearing all these things about the Toronto Film Festival, and I'm getting so excited to see Little Children, but I have no idea how I'll pull that off. I'm beginning to think I need to go to craigslist to try to find a movie buddy as none of my friends are interested in going with me. I'm almost missing Steve from college. He's the one who got me interested in seeing every Oscar nominated movie. It was so much fun to have a partner in this who would be truly interested in movies with me. Peter has been a decent alternative, but he doesn't appreciate some masterpieces (Gods and Mosters for example-as I said the name out loud Peter says "Ugh, horrible movie").
So if there is anyone out there in internetland who lives nearby, isn't creepy, and wants to see movies with me, let me know. I have never been to a movie alone before, it's like eating dinner alone. I don't want to be the person everyone feels sorry for, and even the thought of going alone is depressing.
I actually might know somebody. I'll have to ask 'em. Good buddy of ours.
I would suggest checking out if any of your area theaters have crying rooms (rooms designed for parents with babies or rambunctious kids, not rooms where you go if you're feeling emotional). Mike and I get to go to movies only if there's a crying room. AMC Theaters has something called Reel Moms where they change up the theater just for parents and babies. http://www.moviewatcher.com/jsp/reelmoms.jsp
Oh no. Don't even start. "Gods and Monsters" is a horrible movie. There is absolutely no way that it could be considered a masterpiece. I can't believe I didn't walk out of the theater during that movie (did we see it in a theater?). It just shows how much I love you.
