199/366: GOTTA CATCHEM' ALL!

16 JULY 12

 

I feel like talking about the movies today. I am such a cinephile. I love movies. I think the passion really started with my brother's love of the movies. Way back when he was one of the first people to get a foreign DVD player which played all region dvds. I remember going into this room and seeing his collection which was massive. He was the manager of a major book store which also sold movies and as manager he got a lot of perks, many of them free, and as the sister of said manager, I got a ridiculous amount of free and promotional stuff as well. Half of the posters I put up in my high school and college days came from him.

 

Anyway, this all region dvd introduced me to the idea that there were actual movies made outside of the border of the United States. You know there are a few foreign movies, usually the Oscar winning ones, that you get to see, but you don't see "real movies," made by real people. I loved it. I especially loved how a lot of other countries were actually more free with how they presented things and weren't afraid to push the envelope due to censorship. It was a great time we had watching hours of stuff.

 

I've never been a popcorn and soda gal at the movies...just isn't my thing being covered in butter and salt, but I've always been a gummy gal. I like gummy bears because they last a long time especially if you're slowly gnawing at them and they have different flavors so in the dark its a bit of a surprise what you're going to get. Ever since I became a member of Netflix, I really stopped stopped going to theaters, but I do still enjoy gummies, but more specifically, Peach O's. They smell and taste really good. I love that when they are gone, a week later you can still smell the peach scent in the bag. Good times.
