It's been awhile since I've written anything here. Maybe it was because it had become a chore to write about movies. Maybe because the more time passed, the harder it was to get going again. I still enjoy watching movies on the big screen, the way movies were intended to be watched. I'm not a fan of streaming (although I will watch episodes if they're produced by my daughter: like, watch season 2 of The Great American BBQ on Netflix 😀 I continue to resist watching current movies on a streaming service.)
I will say that since the Pandemic and lockdown, I don't feel compelled to watch all of the Oscar nominated movies. If they don't appeal because they're about unlikeable people, the subject is depressing, they're stupid comedies, or schlocky horror, I won't see them.
I hope you were encouraged to see this summer's blockbuster duo, Barbie and Oppenheimer. Both are worth seeing. In fact, Barbie will be re-released in IMAX for one week starting Sept. 22, 2023 with exclusive post-credit footage selected by the film's director Greta Gerwig. I'll be there.
