Every Reason Why Movies Are Awesome

It's just weird to think about we have this medium that has entertained us so wildly and produced so many memories for us good or bad, and it just as easily could have never existed, it's a good invention is all. I bet Alien civilizations don't have this yet. I rag on a lot of movies recently for sucking but I have at least 100 great memories that happened around a movie. I lost it every time during the Rocky part.

I Used to Like Zooey Deschanel

I mean she used to be a fun actress to watch, then she made the wise decision to star in a live action Fox sitcom.  Maybe we just caught her on a bad day.  Maybe this is her first afternoon with the Siri and she is going crazy like a kid on christmas. But ordering Tomato soup for delivery?  You're going to pay $10+tip  for tomato soup in 45 minutes.  She is a movie star, why doesn't she have pantry full of this stuff.  That's the number one thing I aim for in being rich, so I can one day hope to stock at least 3 years worth of non-perishables.  Isn't that point in becoming successful?   She could just do a couple ads for Campbell's soup and get a lifetime supply.  And way to clean your house now at that moment, it's not like you just pointed out that it is raining and you probably won't be getting anything else done.  Just dance, dance, dance for a few hours. 

Update: Someone else feels the same way.

Seinfeld Hurts A Little Now

 After reading the title I realize it does make sense.  Seinfeld is like that big dick boyfriend you met in college.  And I'm not talking about 8" and thick I'm talking about pussy wrecking 12", you know the girl, always making everyone else be insecure.  Sure it was great back then, but after 20 years parts wear down, you're not in the mood 4x a week, and now the once ever 3 months stings a little bit.  You don't recover as fast, you might be messed up from child birth now.  It's kind of like how you don't take to Tequila as well as you used to, you know.  

Sometimes I do veer off into TV land.  Let's face it they have overcome movies very strongly recently.  I'll watch a re-run 10x a week.  If I TV show is great I'm hooked for 3 months on Netflix.  Rarely do I even consider a movie great now a days.  Not to mention TV has about 10-20 (depending on who you ask) great TV shows going on now that are must see and watched by a few million people each week at least (basically a movie that would gross about $30-$40 million a week at now a days ticket prices and lot more kick back from those on DVD.  In a sitting I watch about 3 Mad Men and if you strung those together and called it a movie I'd rate it a 8/10.  TV has definitely overtaken movies in every way, and movies are just too afraid to admit it.  They still like to think they are the big brother, they came first, blah, blah. But the box took over the office in the 1950's and films have been on the decline ever since.  That is the real cash cow, the golden calf.  We all worship it!  Holy shit, JESUS!  But in the end it's basically all visual entertainment story telling.  One in the same.  I guess it all comes down to I'd watch 5 hours of a TV show in a heart beat, but it would have to be a very special occasion to watch a 5 hour movie.  Movies are the easy way out I guess.  Maybe I'll have to re-evaluate everything

Anyway.  I can't help but hate Seinfeld a little bit now.  It's just not as good as it once was, and hurts a little bit to watch it.  Oh it is still great in every sense, but something doesn't seem right, and it feels like it could be better.  Maybe it is because ever since Curb Your Enthusiasm came out I can't help but think of Larry David in the role of George and how awesome that would have been.

PS. Is that Fred Willard?
