Something Creative
I watch a lot of movies. Not having much for television channels and then the switch to digital so now I have even less movies are my escape. I like movies. The plot, the foreshadowing, the music…all of it is fodder for my mind when I’m stuck at my desk. I can escape & let my mind work with whatever is floating around in there. Action, drama, comedy all stack together to make for some interesting daydreams.
Of course I much prefer to read but I’d be even more broke if I spent as much money on books as I’d like to spend. So I have a Netflix account that I put to very good use. Since I listen to music a lot I enjoy a wide range of genres. I had seen “Across the Universe” & thought why not…Beatles music in a movie sounds like fun. Yeah, fun if you’re in a weed/acid induced haze. No plot really just a loosely based idea of a kid going to America from Liverpool and the whole cast singing Beatle’s songs rather than speaking dialog with weird, psychedelic images for spice.
Never before have I been so tempted to go out & find me some wacky weed…I mean the longer the movie played the more I became convinced that getting high was the only way to enjoy it. Musicals are fine but something with a plot like “Thoroughly Modern Millie”, or “Singing in the Rain” but not this crazy drug addled mishmash of music with cheap 1st year broadcasting class effects.
Guess I’ll have to either take up drugs or pay attention to the description better next time.
