I've blogged on this subject several times as, like you, I am a certified cinemaphile. I teethed on movies and still go all goose-bumpy at the thought of a good flick. I saw Zeffirelli's <i>Romeo and Juliet</i> with my sister the very week it came out in theaters. Our parents let us go by ourselves; it was incredibly exciting. I was eleven years old and she was twelve! I told my daughter only yesterday as we drove home from Charlotte: I am continually astounded by the extent to which my enduring paradigm has been shaped by popular culture in the form of movies and music. In a good way, I believe ... and I was allowed to watch pretty much everything too. Fantastic post, WD. I’ve blogged on this subject several times as, like you, I am a certified cinemaphile.

I'm a pretty happy guy, so seeing a movie that's depressing is often the only way I can tap into that part of my conscious. But I totally see what you mean. Why open the door, if you don't like who's knocking, right? Thanks for the compliment. It was the last line added; sometimes those are the best. Beth: I'm very glad to have you. My lady's from Colorado, or at least she spent a lot of time there. She always tells me how much I'll love it. Maybe someday. J.D. Meier: That made me laugh. Thanks, and you're right.

But, even as a grown man - I do often avoid violent movies. If I want violence I can turn on the nightly news. I prefer uplifting movies, or at least inspirational. If I want to be depressed, there are plenty of other ways to do so. I don't want my movies doing that for me.

I prefer uplifting movies, or at least inspirational. If I want to be depressed, there are plenty of other ways to do so.

Outdoors, not so much. I loved foreign films and documentaries before children. Now I need something with more zip to keep from my zzz's. Dereck: Thanks, but I'm nowhere near as thorough as that guy over at iwillnotdie.com Malathionman: I've still never seen it. Secret's in the Sauce Girls: Movies, books, and my favorite people; that's enough for me. Chris: I would love to set up my living room like a movie theater. It would be bliss.
