After receiving a large number of encouraging and outraged emails, I decided to try and watch a few movies on my list. Last night I was happy to discover “Milk” was playing on HBO so decided to go for it.
Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I thought the acting was incredible and the cinematography made the movie so intense and real.
The bad news is…well…there was just so much talking and seriousness. I only got through about ten minutes, then i had to switch back to Simpsons reruns.
Maybe I’ll try again soon. Like maybe on a Saturday when I can’t get off the couch I’ll check it out again. I’ll switch the channel to HBO then throw the clicker across the room so I can’t get up and change the channel.
I’m pretty sure that if I wasn’t so used to doing at least three things at all times I would be a better movie watcher. But when you have so much entertainment at your finger tips, it’s hard not to watch TV, play scrabble, and check your email all at the same time.
Next on my list: Last Tango in Paris.
