I’m not a big movie goer. Or rather I tend to watch things off the beaten path. Why this is? Because movies have become (at least the popular big box office ones) very predictable. Yes, all ideas tend to have been done before; some better, some exceedingly worse. This is reflected in a good deal of movies that have come out in my opinion.
Every action, or
romance, or horror flick, or even art house flick has had themes that were done before and are done not so intelligently, which just kills my urge to see and risk 2+ hours of my life being wasted. And considering just to watch a movie (not including food and all) costs at least $10, which can buy me dinner for two at a drive-through or a decent DVD or a few books. The risk reward is just not there.
