7 Reasons Why I Do Not Like Movies
onecluecrossword

Everyone I have told that I do not like watching movies have looked at me weirdly or called me weird. I don’t think it is weird at all because everyone has their own preferences. I just prefer to not go to the movies or wait out in a long line for the movie release. Plus, it is just expensive to go the movies, dropping 15+ bucks to watch a movie that may or may not be that great. Even when I am at home, I would rather watch Jeopardy than sit through 2-3 hours of pure hell. But, the funny thing is I can binge watch tv series for hours on end.The only exception, I can make is the Disney Channel original movies, which I used to watch when I was young and still do if they air on the channel. Movies nowadays are just boring to put it in simple terms. I cannot understand why one would waste their money and time on that when they can watch a tv series.

There are a few reasons why I do not like watching movies and will list them below. I am sure there are other weirdos out there like me, who will agree with me.

1)Every movie is pretty much the same, no matter what genre. There’s a problem and the solution is right there in front of them but they do not see it. It is infuriating!

2)The basic good v. evil concept.*yawn* There have been 1,000 of movies made with this concept, the only change is the actors and plot.

3)Some just drag on forever, those x-amount of hours seems like x-amount of years. (cough…Titanic)

4)The decent movies flop while the cheesy and cliche movies take home the Oscars.

5)Movies tend to be made to win awards not entertain the public. Filmmakers have forgotten that the public makes their film outstanding. If they are not going to make movies that appeal to the public, their movie will tank. Also, we live in a capitalist society, everyone is trying to make money so instead of making a quality film, they tend to make a movie which will fill their pockets. Which equals to a terrible movie.

6)There is no character intimacy like many people have with tv show characters. I am sure no one has cried over Jack from Titanic than Jon Snow being stabbed by his brothers in Game of Thrones.

7)Unlike t.v shows, movies are fixated on one genre. Like a t.v show will have me ugly crying one episode and the next laughing my butt off. Movies are not like that!

Next time you watch a movie, think about these reasons and then question yourself. Would you rather watch the Transformers or Orange Is The New Black? Do you feel a close connection to the guy (I don’t even know the names lol) or Taystee, my homegirl? Come on now! I think it is pretty clear that movies are just going down the drain, it is time for people to appreciate t.v shows.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
