Movies instead of the Web
_20:27
It’s come to the point where I can’t even tear myself away from the computer or the Internet using my own free will. I have to find something else that can distract. Like a kid who’s been punched by a friend that didn’t know he would really hurt you. He try’s to make you laugh - anything to preoccupy you from what is really going on.
Movies are somewhat like that for me. They always come out in theaters and then into a local Blockbuster, making it even more affordable to watch. I don’t think of myself as a movie buff but I like movies just as much as the next guy and maybe even more.
I think it’s the optional reality it offers me. Something different than what I currently have and see on a regular basis.
Tonight I watched “Double Take”. Not the greatest movie but good enough to pull me away from my computer and hold me down for alittle under 2 hours.
Maybe I should just start watching movies all the time. Quit my job and become a movie critic. I mean how hard is that really?
- Put one thumb up and the other down.
- Put both thumbs up
- Put both thumbs down
I think I’ll give it a try. Any movie suggestions?
Joel Says:
Here are a couple of movies that have been good deterrents from the real world.
1-The Game
2-Fight Club
3-Waking Life (of course)
4-The Matrix (Did I really have to say it?)
I have enjoyed watching these movies over and over again. If there is one in the list you haven’t seen, SHAME ON YOU!
