Confession

So I have a confession to make. It's a really dumb confession but I am inspired to make it right now, it is gonna take a little explaining so if you know me you know that I like movies, I try and like a wide assortment of films. Usually though my favorite movies are the ones that most people think aren't that clever or well done or whatever. I mean I like a movie that is exciting with lots of action and special effects and whatnot. But lately I've been trying really hard to get into those weird kinda arty movies that people make either before they are stars or after they've really made it, you know like well I actually can't think of an example off the top of my head. But anyway I just rented Rushmore and watched it for the first time...I have to say deep in my heart I was not impressed really cause everyone (all the "cool" artsy people that I want to be like) think it's one of the greatest movies ever, and well I was kinda bored and truthfully if it weren't for the fact that I'm kinda hot for Jason Schwartzman I probably wouldn't have watched that so intently.

Well I just sat and watched Bottle Rocket which stars the Wilson brothers (Owen and Luke) it was the first thing they did acting wise. Owen also wrote it with Wes Anderson who wrote Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums. I watched it mostly because I love Luke Wilson, I will watch literally anything he is in. (So hot!!) I didn't really know anything about the movie before I watched it other than it was kinda indie and had the Wilson's in it. Well about half-way through I started to get bored and was wondering what the hell the point of the movie was and I was kinda bored.

So I guess this brings me to my confession, I am a poser. I pretend to like certain movies just because they are popular with a certain type of crowd. And you know I don't really think it's a problem. I mean I guess if I touted these movies as my personal favorites or super fine wonderful films that maybe it would be a problem but as it is I'm just watching them trying to see what the big deal is with them. Maybe they are just one of those things that I won't ever really get. Like how my friends love Mr. Bean I understand why they like it and why they think it's funny but I don't appreciate it at all. Or how most people love Mel Brooks movies. I kind of hate Mel Brooks movies. I don't find them funny at all I mean I get how people would find them funny but to me they are just lame and kinda boring.

I'm sorry this isn't much of a confession after all...Damn it...I'll try better next time.

Update: So I reread this and it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I think what I was really trying to say was I pretend to like things because people I think are cool like them and I'm not sure what that says about me. I think it says that I'm insecure and want to be like other people.
