एन्तेर्तैन्मेंट हस चंगेद

I'm sitting here watching Clue, and really enjoying the word play that is between the characters. The writers really did a good job on the whole movie. But has me thinking of how Entertainment has changed over the many years.

Growing up with older parents exposed me to music and movie/shows that were considered classics. John Wayne, Fred Astair, Humphrey Bogart, etc.. And I cannot help but compare todays movie industry to the past movie industry. Back when the movies just started and up to I would say the mid 1950's, movies had class, they had a way of expressing themselves without resorting to bad language or even graphic sex scenes.

A mystery actually played with your head, it was less action and more thinking. Now the mystery is generally people running around and of course you have your jumping out at scene. Horror movies were more about suspense and had some gore to it, and now they aren't even scary, they just throw an insane amount of blood and gore at you and they expect you to be scared.

Of course I shouldn't talk so generally about currant bad movies, when there are a few that get the wording, action and feel just right. Take for instance "Serenity" written and directed by the fabulous Joss Whedon. He knows how to write a show that doesn't need a lot of cussing or sex, this movie was wonderfully written and directed on probably a really small budget. The movie not only answered some questions that his show the "Firefly" left open, but it also allowed new viewers to come in and fall in love with the world of Firefly.

But he did that without resorting to having the F word thrown about every other word. Neither did we have to see any drawn out love scenes to understand that yes Kaley and the Doc got it on.

The seat from Hell

I took the day off of work, and after my appointment at the doctors office I decided to go to the mall. Scary I know, but I haven't been in a long time and it was still early enough to go without it being too crowded. After walking around some I went to see what was playing in the theater, I decided on "Despicable me". I won't go into the outrages movie prices or the absolute ridiculous refreshment prices, because well I did pay them.

So lets say I ranted about that and move on. When I went to take my seat, what did I find to my complete and utter annoyance, but seats that were made for people who are super model thin. But that you can usually work around, since in all the theaters that I have been to; you can lift up the arm rest. But wait there is another surprise waiting for me, the armrests don't move. At this point its too late to go to a different movie theater, the ticket had been paid, the refreshments have been gotten and the movie will start in a few minutes.

I was now standing over the seat I picked visualizing my Extra Plus Booty getting into this little seat, and actually getting out of it at the end of the movie. I finally sat down thinking that there was at least a 95% chance of me wiggling out of the seat, and only a 5% of me being stuck and having the most embarrassing day of my life.

Once I made the decision and sat down, I was now trying to find a comfortable position. No Such Thing in this little theater seat from Hell. I ended up slouched with me repositioning my legs every five minutes during the whole movie, and in the back of my mind a thought that kept running through my head, think thin, think thin..........

Luckily there were 10 other people at the movie, so I could easily wait until they leave to try to get out of the Hell seat. With moves that would do any kinder gardener proud, I scooched, wiggled, pulled and finally groaned my self out of the seat. Best part of this whole mess, no one is around to see me heft my considerable self out of a seat made for a five year old.

So to conclude this rant, If anyone is reading this blog and you are overweight, do not go to the movies at the Clackamas Town Center Theater if you don't want an uncomfortable time.

On the Plus side, I did really like the movie, I'm thinking of going again but at a movie theater that has better seating.

Everyone Has a Bit of Insanity in them.

I believe everyone needs to let there insanity out, if only to keep themselves sane. Some choose to confide to a close friend, others choose to participate in dangerous sports. Mine is going to be this blog, I am going to use it to be whatever I need it to be.



I spend most of my life reading books and watching TV, anything that will help me avoid the outside world. I can't leave the house without putting headphones on and blasting music, its my shield against the outside. I've let myself become so enclosed that I have a hard time connecting with people outside my comfort zones.



I have let myself mix all of my emotions (pain, fear,anxiety, etc..) into my obsession with food. So now I am going to be trying something new, here I will let it all out.
