Trav and I love going to the movies. However, we do not love paying $12/person to watch what honestly might be 2.5 hours of shit. Alas, we have found two theaters in town that are only $6/person and show new releases the week they are out. Sweet!! I can pay $6 for shit. I personally get a huge high off of a good bargain.
I think in general we have become too critical of movies. I am #1 guilt of this. I mean, really, movies should be viewed as an escape from our lives. If a movie sweeps me into the story so much that I can't remember what time of day it is, it should be an A+ no matter the content of the actual film. Therefore, this is how I have begun to judge movies.
Recently we saw Easy A, The Social Network, and Wallstreet; Money Never Sleeps. So topical of us!! One thing I learned from all these movies, I like staring at beautiful people. Enter Emma Stone, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Shia LaBeouf (holes...sigh), and Carey Mulligan. It has been refreshing how well casted movies have become . Even if they are crap at least they are casting crap people (enter Ben Affleck)
Say what you will about the above mentioned movies - weak plots, bad writing, unrealistic settings. I really don't care what you think. If you are looking for an easy escape from what is going on in your life, go see one of these films. They are refreshingly stupid and carefree.

Time Management = Rocket Science
Did you know? Did you know that apparently time management is equally as hard as trying to propel shit into space and have it orbit other shit? It's not. Stop lying to yourself. Fools!
Sidenote Confession: This rant is being written under the influence of red wine. Just one glass but I am that kind of girl. It just takes one glass. And this is not going to be good.
Why do people never seem to have enough time? Why is this the ultimate excuse we have all just accepted? It's donkey crap. I mean, really, it is not that hard. Did no one else learn the skills of prioritizing and productivity? I guess while everyone else was learning how to spell and speak properly, I was learning how to make a killer to-do list and achieve every item on it. The source of this rant is really the entire world. It seems to me that everyone, including me at times, loves to complain about not having enough time. Do we not realize that the time we spend speaking about not having time is time wasted? BRILLIANT!!!! Thank God I am here to solve the world's mysteries. You are all welcome.
