well, it happened

Last night I finally watched the movie The Dark Knight.

Now I can finally say that, NO, it did NOT live up to all the hype that everyone kept giving it

people were BULLYING you? over a movie?!
seeing it once was good and stuff, especially since I saw it in theaters
with friends and a bunch of testosterone coursing through the air...
but the time I watched it alone changed it dramatically for the worst.

I prefer to watch movies alone. I tend to get bored with a movie if I watch it with people (like this one). This summer like eeeveryday someone always had to either tell me to watch it, talk about how "amazing" it was, or ask if I'd seen it yet. And I told them "when I go an entire day without someone mentioning the movie then I will go see it." Such a day never came (during that summer). That and my family would have hour long group discussions on it over dinner and get mad at me for leaving the table and "not spending time with them" etc. etc.

In a sad way, I almost have to watch movies with people or
I'll usually get distracted or bored and wander off [which is exactly the case with this one, as with so many others. Right now I'm trying to watch this 1979 musical 'Hair' about hippies and the war, and something keeps happening. Last thing I remember, they were chasing these hot girls on a spotted horse!].
Haha, I remember that statement, except I didn't know your family talked about it so much?

Whenever my brother was over they always did what he wanted to do. So if he wanted to spend over an hour talking about the small technicalities in grave detail of a movie that everyone had seen but me, then they were going to do it.

Eesh, but maybe that's his way of connecting with them?
Yeah, watching movies with your brother is sometimes
way too much for me- seeing as I'm not much of a buff in that
sense and I seem retarded when I don't know so-and-so director
or actor or even movie etc.
Please tell me you got some time with your family, too?

I was stuck around the house this summer so I wasn't anything for my family to get excited over. But yeah they talk about movies a lot and I HARDLY watch movies so I usually don't participate in conversation (hence my determination to live out here this summer).

I think 6/10 of the last text messages I had between my dad and I were about movies. He watched one of the ones I recommended but not sure if he gave any thought to my other suggestions.
