It Might Not Be IMAX, But I Don't Have To Wait In Line For Stupid Glasses

Tonight is one of those nights where I could use a little getaway...so, I'm going to the movies...right from the comfort of my own home.  That's right, I'm a bootlegger (as in I participate in the viewing of bootlegged DVDs, not peddle moonshine out of my basement...lol...I don't even have a basement).  But I am no ordinary bootlegger.  I only seek out the best.  I know the difference between R5 and telecine, I am thankful for folks like Carmine Caridi, and am delighted everytime I see the word PUKKA..lol. (I'm sure there are alot of you scratching your heads, so I'll move on) 

Let me just say, before the internet police decides to send the Director's Guild, Screen Actor's Guild, or Mad He's Not Going To The Theaters Guild, to my door knocking, understand that, I get it. 

I am an artist and understand the amount of work/effort/blood/sweat/tears that all of these individuals put in making these films (or at least the ones who give a damn).  Also, if I had a product out on the market, it'd irritate me if people were sampling it for free. 

But here's a sad instance where knowing better, and feeling bad about it, doesn't stop it from happening.  Plus I don't have to take an hour round trip (closest large theater), spend $17.50 (ticket, popcorn, drink), or listen to irritating assholes give slapstick commentary during the whole film, and then potentially be pissed that I had to endure all of that shit AND didn't even like the movie.

The way I'm doing it, I can be pissed at home if I don't like it, where the only irritating asshole is me, and it's free (well, okay $4.50 for multiple backs of popcorn and a two liter drink)....here's where, if I were a schmuck, I'd try to blame the recession.  Basically, I'm just cheap...lol

Did I mention the part about FREE!!!...lol

On tonight's agenda?  The Social Network, The Lottery Ticket (okay so I'm late), and hopefully something extra if I find it.  Perhaps later I'll give a review.

Much love,
Marcus

Love is....Two People, Together, On a One Way Street

Okay, so I fucked up...I didn't consider the feelings of someone I care about when I expressed something I needed to get off my chest.

This is my sorry (for 2010, and beyond)...

I'm understanding that in order to build something with someone, you have to be ready. I'm there. Just needed to do it the proper way. Close all old doors, before opening another one. I guess I liked what I saw in this new door so much that I didn't even consider that.

I will always have love for my ex, even though I'm not in love with her. But I have to let that go in order for my new relationship to prosper. Everything happens for a reason, so I'm confident that something good will come out of all this.

Relationships and emotions sometime feel like a trip into the Bermuda triangle....if you're not careful, you get lost.  But you don't have to.

If you have someone that you care about, let them know it, work at it daily, realizing there might be problems, but happiness is all that matters in the end.

Much love,
Marcus
