Just read about how there's nine movies nominated for best picture. But I haven't seen any of them. Strange thing is, I don't really go to movies much anymore. I did when I was in my teens and early twenties. But my inclination to go see movies has been in a sharp decline since my thirties. And now, as a father of two, I really don't go much at all.
I will take my sons to see movies that interest us, and maybe that's the key reason why we don't go see movies much. There really aren't too many movies being made that interest us anymore. For instance, none of these nine nominated movies interest us at all. Nor do any of the other ones out there. They don't interest us one bit. So we don't go see them. It's as simple as that.
Maybe I'm too picky. I like movies like Jason Statham's "Transporter" movies, or Matt Dillon's "Bourne" movies. I liked the Lord of the Rings movies, too. And that's about it. But the movies out now? Especially the ones up for best picture? No interest at all. I guess I'm not too keen on social commentary movies. It seems like a lot of the movies today are of that sort. They are good for some people I guess. Just not me.
