Fun post!
It's great you and hubby...Hi Sylvia!<br />Fun post!<br /><br />It's great you and hubby go to so many movies. Sad this year's pickings are so slim. <br /><br />We watch funky weird off-hollywood productions on Netflix like IT Crowd which I think is hilarious. And BBC's Spy. <br />And I just discovered Yahoo's production The Other Space Episodes. Bizarre but fun. <br /><br />OK, I admit it I like weird things.

I love going to the movies, but I think I'm going to have to suck it up and enjoy one fight scene/bomb blowing up sequence after another. I just wish someone in Hollywood could combine the two. I'd go for a WonderWoman who fell in love or learned that she still had superpowers after she lost her breasts or something similar.Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08739086544916478044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-69263544629000506982015-05-05T20:13:16.284-05:002015-05-05T20:13:16.284-05:00Great post Sylvia!

I also like mystery type of movies. Those make me think, and usual have a twist at the end. While I love When Harry Met Sally and other chick flick/romantic comedies I only like watching the older ones, b/c I felt something when they came out. Now? I really don't want to watch a movie that is emotionally moving, I go for escapism. <br /><br />But that's just me. :) Different types of movies for different folks!Karilyn Bentleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04359102189839118744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-29766143112103271902015-05-05T17:23:02.946-05:002015-05-05T17:23:02.946-05:00Kathy,

Oh how I miss warm romantic comedies. You would think they would be popular, but maybe I'm the oddball here. I like action, but I need some emotion going on with that action and so many times that's missing.Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08739086544916478044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-74218302610432590862015-05-05T16:46:23.512-05:002015-05-05T16:46:23.512-05:00Very thought provoking post, Sylvia.

While, yes, I did go see the Avengers this weekend (and I liked it), sometimes all the special effects can be a little much.<br /><br />I'd rather have some substance and story, but Hollywood can't seem to make the transition from the written word to the big screen. <br /><br />What can I say, the last movie where the audience actually applauded while I was in the theater -- Warm Bodies!!! <br /><br />P.S. I also miss having good romantic comedies to see (although personally I cannot stand Pretty Woman -- I know I'm in the minority but I loathe Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, so it was a big no for me. LOL) Kathy Ivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16440759802997389459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-16549294487296669132015-05-05T13:46:54.179-05:002015-05-05T13:46:54.179-05:00Vicki,

But there was some character development with both of these movies. No just one blow-up scene after another. LOVED Whiplash and the characters were gripping. Loved that movie The Judge - such a good movie. But cartoon based characters - I'm done. And have we had one with a woman heroine by herself? No! It's all men.<br />Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08739086544916478044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-90357460381461581792015-05-05T13:42:46.345-05:002015-05-05T13:42:46.345-05:00Phyllis,

Son loved it and Hubby said it was okay. Now the son is anxious for Ant-Man. Really? Just like with reading, I need to feel the emotions and last I checked the Avengers didn't have much emotion.Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08739086544916478044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-73908851023186283792015-05-05T10:36:28.596-05:002015-05-05T10:36:28.596-05:00Hi, Sylvia!

I'll probably go see Far From the Maddening Crowd and pray it moves faster than the original version. I want to see Mad Max because it features Tom Hardy and he is a dyno-mite actor. I like a variety of films but think the cartoon based action hero ones have been done to death.Vicki Batman, sassy writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846704675542248648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028147191445531358.post-24785942309873153392015-05-05T09:55:02.703-05:002015-05-05T09:55:02.703-05:00 LOL....

I... LOL.... I am just the opposite of you, Sylvia.<br />I like going to the movies for pure escape and enjoyment. I think all the action adventure movies are great and I find all the other stuff boring or WAY too emotional for me. I don’t like ‘message’ movies or films that I have to ‘think’ through…again, I go for the escape. <br />Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02842013659811431774noreply@blogger.com
