How Liz Spent All Her Money Before The Summer Even Started This summer, it's been noted before, is just ridiculous when it comes to movies, especially after a pretty quiet winter and spring. I've gotten better recently about only seeing movies I WANT to see, as opposed to movies I feel obligated to see. But even when I eliminate those, I end up with a list like this:
May 4: Spider-Man 3
May 11: 28 Weeks Later
May 25: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
June 1: Day Watch (Dnevnoi Dozor), Knocked Up
June 8: Ocean's 13
June 27: Live Free or Die Hard
June 29: Death at a Funeral, Ratatouille
July 4: Rescue Dawn, Transformers
July 13: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
July 20: Hairspray, Son of Rambow
July 27: The Simpsons Movie
August 3: Becoming Jane, The Bourne Ultimatum
August 10: Stardust
That's 18 movies! If you average out ticket prices, parking, and incidentals over the expanse of that, it ends up approximating $275. Some of these, of course, I will probably not get to -- who has the time, after all? But still $275! On movies! Gah. It makes me feel cranky and old. Good thing summer movies make me feel young. Zombies and pirates and superheroes and spies! Oh, it'll be a fun time at the movies.Labels: moving pictures

You're not old until you just sign up for Netflix and see the movies 4 months after release. Yeah. That's me.

Oh, I definitely do that too. The part when you get REALLY old, therefore, is when you give up on ever getting through the Netflix queue and just watch all those stockpiled Daily Show reruns. :-)

Baby, you're in Hollywood. All those movies are "research" come next April.
