Why do I watch the things I watch.

So I decided to do this series of why posts. Why did I decide to do a thing like that? I dunno. Good question. So this post I decided to do "Why do I watch the things I watch?" What triggered this, or in other words, why did I diced to write on this one.

This post gets sort of long, so please, stick with me.

The answer to that one is very simple this time. It is all in connection with the last three movies I watched. I guess I could through in a fourth one that I watched recently. Might as well add a fifth and... We could go on all day.

I'll start with actualy answering the main question. Finally, your saying. And then I will give a a little of an update for what else is going on, and then, I will delve into the movies themselves, very briefly going over a few basic points that I liked and didn't like, or whatever.

So, in answer to the question. There are many different variables, and I will try to touch on all of them without boring you to death (which I fear I have already done.) One is pure curiosity, did they do a good job? Are the graphics good? WHat is the story realaly about? The Aaction? Hoy about acting? WHat happens? HOw does it end? Etcetera, etcetera. This is the very heart of why I want to see the Golden Compass. This blends into the next one, did the trailer pull me in? A lot of times this is what piques my curiosity, the trailer looks good. And sometimes it doesn't even spark curiosity, just plain looks good, or funny, so I want to see the movie, I guess thisis actualy related to curiosity. Enchanted was that way, not as much curiosity. Then there are friends who tell me an aspect of a movie, or I want to see how they did something. Then there is when I am with friends, and they are going, or want to watch something. Ok, I could go on a long time, and it could bore you, as well as me.

So, the last however... oh, wait, what did I do today. Well, I went to work, finished the job we started yesterday and I feel like... well... At leats I wanted to finish it yesterday. Wish we could have. I was bummed yesterday when we didn't. Fealt... disapointed in myself. I also had to trim my beautiful long guitar fingernails yesterday. It is getting way to warm to wear gloves, and the nails would have only gotten snagged on things. Ok, back to today.

We went to the sports store today, and I looked at hockey sticks, and all sorts of fond memories started coming back. I gotta get backinto skating, but just for the fun of it and axersize.

Then we took the boys to the park to practice socker, or football as I like to call it sometimes. That was fun, since none of us know how to play. We are gearing up, you see, my boss got the wonderfull oportunity to coarch a six and under team, and has never even played it himself. You guessed it, lots of fun!

We love to get ourselves into scrapes, why do we do this? Ok, another why. Why do I get into scrapes? Later dudes.

Then I accidentily almost won a PINK ipod off of ebay. whew... that was close. BUt I did win the other mp3 player! And feel absolutely... well... how to put it... Yikes! I just clicked publish on accident! Ok, I can edit it. Such close calls in life anymore.

Back to how I feel about the auction I won. WHy am I so loose with money sometimes! What A doofus I am! I feell ike I got a good deal, yeah, but what good is it if it's not something I needed? It's not like I got it as a gift. Oh well, what's done is done, "God help me with my spending habbits."

Maybe that's my spending hobbits.

Anyway, I did find some great deals on skates on ebay, too. And I am waiting to see how the outcome is. I feel like that is better expenditure.

And now I am writting.

Ok, to the movies.

First there was Surfs Up. The previews made it look really funny. But it didn't quite live up to that. I found the style of naroration very unique, and interesting. Great concept, but also confusing. BUt, that could be because they lost my strong interest early on, or something. The humor was off, often. It wasn't a kids movie, not really, but to, um, whatever to be an adult movie. See, adults don't need off humor either. It wasn't really inteeligent, not that a lot of movies are. It did have it's funny parts though, and some parts I did like, but I won't be watching it again. In short, it wasn't worth my time, and I ask myself, "Why do I watch what I watch?"

Then there was the Inquiry, not half bad, for the style project it was. The romance was al little 80's, or 70's or something, real quick and dumb. like hello! You don't just meat aguy and kiss him for 60 seconds on the second day before you even are, like dating! Not that I would kiss even after dating. I might get...germs ;) I also didn't apreciate the way they stylized the story of Tabitha. I guess they were'nt really trying to styalize the story of Tabitha, since the girls other name isn't dorcas. I really liked brixus, or whatever the servants name was to the main character. The girl was cute, they just needed to add a lisp... LOL, JK. They could have added a wee bit more suspence or something to the secret mission side of it.

Then there was watter horse. Never saw the prievews, never had a person tell me how good it was. Just was dieing to see it! I wasn't disapointed. Acting wasn't bad, the story line moved well, the graphics were good (I have seen better).. It was, well... it was like it was fitting for some emotion at the end, and I almost let myself get my eyes wet a little. Ok, ok, I did!

And lastly I want to touch on Princes of Thieves. I would have thought it would have been cool if the girl would have maried the king, but it was ok how they did it, too. The history was a little mixed up. Robert of Loxley was every bit as much of noble blood as Maid Marion, from my reading. The fight scenes were a little bit lacking, not in blood, but tallent. I liked quite a few aspects of the movie though, when the portraid her growing particularly.

Well, that's about it. No band practice, yet.
