Just revisiting old favorites rather than looking at anything new. (Where new is defined as almost everything that has been released in the last ten years.) That needs to be corrected.<br /><br />I do spend quite a bit of time reading though. So, there's that. :)Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387041422819664987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017882226857032208.post-67998441481321332932011-08-12T08:25:39.987+10:002011-08-12T08:25:39.987+10:00nick

It's all a matter of opinion. Certainly everyone needs something to refresh their mind after a day in the office or a day of domestic chores.<br /><br />I haven't seen many of those films. I thought The King's Speech took a lot of liberties with the historical truth, but it was an engaging film with some excellent acting. A lot of films have flaws, but to describe them as moronic is itself moronic.nickhttp://nickhereandnow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017882226857032208.post-34200627361991963732011-08-11T22:25:26.830+10:002011-08-11T22:25:26.830+10:00mark, you write poetry, i watch movies. it's n...mark, you write poetry, i watch movies. it's nothing to do with getting out :)<br />but go on and watch some! <br />catfish is another interesting onekyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964475783207438103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017882226857032208.post-43341856858639391542011-08-11T22:01:47.699+10:002011-08-11T22:01:47.699+10:00*shrug* Nothing wrong with a bit of escapism. who ...*shrug* Nothing wrong with a bit of escapism. who does it hurt to get the mind to a different place for a time?<br /><br />Just because your form of escapism is not the form I or someone else may prefer it mentally offers the same endorphin release.<br /><br />By the by I have only seen two of the movies on your list.
