They were talking about the Academy Awards and various gossip around town.
My thought was, who cares? Honestly, does anyone even go to the movies anymore? I sure don't. Haven't for years.
When I was a kid, I loved the movies. They were my escape from my unhappy family. I learned how to be a grown-up from watching the movies. Silly, I know.
Even 12 or 15 years ago, I went to two or three new movies a week in the theater.
Then, for several years, I watched two or three movies a week from Netflix.
Now I just don't care. I'd rather read.
How long has it been since you saw a movie you loved? One that transported you and changed the way you see the world?
I used to come out of a movie with new eyes, as if looking through that filmmaker's camera lens.
Not anymore. I find the movies so boring and so badly done, I just don't care. The movies have lost me, I think forever.
