Let's All Go To The Movies.

Haven't been "writing" so to those who come here for that junk, I'm sorry.

Now on another note, I love going to the movies. I love sitting there and watching the film, possibly analyzing each scene as my mind views. My favorite part, strangely enough, other than watching the movie, is watching the credits roll. Fuck the arrival and getting the popcorn, my favorite part is the after-movie-credit-roll.  I really love sitting there with whoever I came with and just watching the credits go up and disappear. In a way I'm paying my respects. People just usually focus on the director, scratch that, people usually just focus on the actors. The writer, director are usually overlooked so imagine the crew.
How about that person who was holding the camera so steady or the person who edited the film. Music? Sound in general? Composer? Casting? Even now as I try my best to state as many individuals as I can, I know I am overlooking someone. Sitting in that dark theater, with or without my popcorn and watching those names move is just amazing to me. I really like doing that. Sadly most of the people I go with don't appreciate doing that. They like leaving as soon as the movie is over.
I've been dying to go to the movies. There's a small theater here that shows indie movies. Most of them are old, as in have been released a while back. I think some are even on DVD now. Needless to say I really want to go.
Those extra few seconds of credits allow my mind to capture every single moment, making sure I analyzed, understood or just enjoyed that movie. Hopefully I go this weekend :)


P.S. Feliz Dîa de Silencio :)
