Movie Time - 6.11 and 7.11

Movie Time 6.11 and 7.11
Confession time: I find it difficult to sit through an entire movie. Thanks a lot internet. At this point in my life I’m much more inclined to turn on an episode of a TV show on Netflix than I am a movie. I would go on a rant about how much crap Hollywood is churning out these days, but I have the same problem for really good movies and movies that I love, as well as the duds: about halfway through I get a case of RBS (restless bum syndrome) and I just can’t sit still anymore. There are over a hundred titles on my Netflix queue and a thousand more I keep up in my noggin that I want to watch someday. But it’s becoming clear that most movies I think I want to see will not, in fact, be seen by me. Perhaps one day I’ll have much better butt stamina and will be able to sit through Once Upon a Time in America in one sitting, but until then I’ll just keep catching up on the TV shows that I want to see.

Since I’ve all but stricken regular, commercial-filled TV from my schedule (aside from Jon Stewart and Colbert, that is) most of my TV watching comes in the form of Netflix these days. So in no particular order, here is what I’ve been enjoying since the beginning of the year: Veronica Mars, Cheers, Jericho, The Larry Sanders Show, Freaks and Geeks, The Simpsons, Parks and Recreation, Shameless, 24, and Party Down. I’d recommend any of those shows, but Freaks and Geeks in particular.

Now since I don’t feel like adding yet another feature to the blog, I’m just going to stick with reviewing movies for the time being. I should mention that I don’t dislike watching movies, just that I often have to take a break and get a butt massage.
