Movie Madness

So, I have something to admit to the world. I go to movies in the movie theater all by myself. I go on weekdays, weekends, holidays, during the day, and at night. I don't care AT ALL that it is socially unacceptable to do so. The first time I did it was a few years ago as a bet with my brother Lee. We were talking about things that people just don't do alone...two of which were going to movies by themselves and eating at nice sit-down restaurants by themselves. So we made a bet to see who could do one of those two things first. I won by going to a movie by myself. Not only was I by myself but I was the only person in the theater...weird because it wasn't even a crappy movie. I called Lee from the movie theater...he made me scream to prove that no one else was in the theater. Lee had to one up me though by going out to eat by himself on Valentine's Day in Provo, Utah (coupleland USA). And yes...he was wearing a tie and had flowers with him. He pretended that he got stood up. He called me from the restaurant to let me know that he had beat me out as the most pathetic single person in the world. Hilarious. Yeah, we have weird ways of entertaining ourselves. So anyway, last night I went to see Lars and the Real Girl by myself. As a side note let me just highly recommend going to movies by yourself. It is liberating. It is like saying "Hi world, I am a singleton and even if I don't have anyone to do stuff with I'm not going to stop doing what I want to do... I am independent and okay with being alone!" It is nice too because you don't have to worry about someone else liking or disliking the movie you see...you can just form your own opinion. And when you go by yourself you always get to choose the movie and where you sit in the theater. So, single or not, try it sometime and let me know how it goes. Anyway, I loved the movie Lars and the Real Girl. It was way different than anything I've seen in a long time, and I like different. It was both funny and sad, which is the best combination because guess what folks, that's life...funny and sad. Here's the link for the trailer if you want to check it out... www.youtube.com/watch?v=P27EIxPRmcY. Also I haven't seen this movie yet because it is Rated R and I am waiting for it to come out on DVD so I can get it CleanFlicked...but I have heard nothing but good things about the movie Once. It has Glen Hansard from the Irish band The Frames in it. It is sort of a musical love story. It has received tons of awards and has gotten excellent reviews...Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 98%! The soundtrack for the movie is amazing. You can play one of the songs by clicking play on the Mp3 player I have on the left side of my blog under my favorites.
