I make NO Exaggeration when I say that I am "on a roll" if I see two movies in a threater every year. I am well set-up to watch movies, on DVD, at home.
A lot of the movies that I would see in theaters just bore me....or, others are too intense, and the experience wrings me out. Better I think (for me), to wait for the DVD, and either "reject" the movie as not worth watching, or else watch it in a manner that I can get comfortable with it if I find it very overwhelming.
However, if this movie is as important as it sounds, I will go see it in a theater this weekend (my first "theater movie" of the year 2007) - just to put my $ where my mouth is.
I have seen lots of studies showing how "a (generic) audience" is more receptive to "heavier" (political or personal) movie experiences when Our Nation is "doing well", both in terms of morale and financial growth. And, how "escapist movies" (fantasies, romantic comedies, Borat (LOL)), do best when Our Nation Feels In Crisis. Well, considering The War in Iraq and Bush's approval rating, Our Nation is not in an emotional climate to support this movie, financially, right now.
Ergo, I will open my pocket-book and go.
