Reasons to watch movies........ or not.


Movies, that I really enjoyed, but I don`t go back to. e.g. The Godfather, Dances With Wolves, The Untouchables.
Movies, I watch when they are on tele, even though I have the dvd. e.g. Independence Day.
Movies, that are my all time favourites, but I am trying to avoid so I can eventually watch them again. e.g. Life of Brian.
Movies, I can dip in and out of, just watching bits at a time. e.g. Truman Show.
Movies, I keep trying to watch because people tell me they are great, but I still don`t enjoy. e.g. Blues Brothers.
Movies, I thought were not very good, so when I watched the second time, they seemed better. e.g. Star trek Nemesis
There are plenty of other examples for these categories and probably more categories, but that`s all you`re getting for now.

Geeky stuff


I don`t follow many blogs. The main exceptions are Maine Mummy and my daughter`s Geekmom blogs. I never felt the need to write a regular blog, but feel I could add something to the geek world, after all, I own a shop, pretty much full of geek stuff. Today, we received an order of Bullyland toys, which included a bunch of toys from Cars 2, the follow-up to one of my all-time favourite movies. Of course, I have put aside some of them for my grandson, Toby. We`ll have fun watching the dvd in November, when I am over in Maine, on the Christmas present run. The point is, I am more inclined to watch animation than ordinary movies. I sell all manner of horror and sci-fi movie toys and collectables, but have never seen Freddy Krueger or Chucky movies. Not interested. No way. Cartoons are more fun. Disney rules, Shrek sucks.
