MOVIES- January through March

[tarotgal]

So I started keeping a list of all the movies I've watched in 2006. I thought I'd post it every three months. I'm not sure if Alexander belongs on this list or not... I can't remember if I saw it in Dec or Jan and I'm too lasy to go through my LJ posts to see if/when I mentioned something about it.

Wow, that's a lot!

Although I love movies, I don't see many new ones that often. I haven't seen one in the theater since Narnia, and before that, the last ones were Corpse Bride and HP:GOF. I have yet to see King Kong, even though I swore I would see it in the theater, but I never got around to it.

Even on TV, I tend to just rewatch stuff I know I already like. Most of the time, I'm paying more attention to the laptop than what's on TV anyway. Today, I watched The Matrix and Kill Bill 2 while searching for fanfic and doing laundry.

However, today I watched 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' for the first time. I really enjoyed it, despite the depressing overtones. Also, I learned that still want to date Elijah Wood, even when he's playing a creepy pervy Geek. *G*

Yeah, I don't have the money lately for movies. But I've never been a person who saw lots of movies in theaters. Just special ones. I think I average maybe 3 or 4 a year. Brokeback was the last one I saw in theaters and the only movie I've seen this year in theaters

Eternal Sunshine is one of my mother's favorite movies now. Every time it's on TV she has to watch it. It's great to know you enjoyed it! I'm allllllllll about the Lij, too, even creep and pervy and geeky he's too adorable for words. I saw him on Grahm Norton again this week, discussing slash fanart. heehee
Anyway, yes, I liked Eternal Sunshine, as well. Reminded me of foreign indy films. And I love non-linear storytelling. And I thought the actors in general really made the film incredible. They brought a LOT to it.

I very rarely see new movies. I hardly ever go to the movie theater (Brokeback is my one and only movie theater trip this year so far). I haven't been at all eager to see Kong... sorry Peter! But I'm just never all that excited about remakes of perfectly good movies. It's on my DVD queue and I'll definitely get to it, it's just not something I ran out to see.

I totally agree- I frequently rewatch movies I love. Heck, I must have watched Trick AT LEAST 10 times since January. I definitely would look like a complete loser if I kept track of every single movie I watched... so I just record the 'never before seen' and 'seen in their entirety' ones (if I miss more than 5 minutes, it doesn't get to go on the list).
As for the computer... I watch a LOT of DVDs on the left-hand side of my computer screen and surf or write stories in a document on the right side :-)

LOL of course it does, some of those movies haven't been in the theaters for years.

Theater, DVD, Video, and TV. Yes, as A said, most of these haven't been in theaters for a LONG time, and quite a few of them have never even seen theaters.
