Movie Rant

I LOVE movies. If you are a friend of mine I have probably at some point insisted that you watch SOME movie.
There is an 80% chance that movie is a romantic comedy.
On a side note, a study came out this week that romantic movies create unrealistic expectations in women. (something to bring up with my therapist who I haven't found just yet)
So back to movies...EVERYONE and their mom has been talking about Inception. (DOn't worry I won't spoil it for you I'm just trying to make a point.) So last night, I went to see Inception before someones stupid tweet ruined the whole thing for me. As I sat down I got excited about seeing Leonardo Dicaprio again, I had a major crush on him circa Titanic but now I realize it was just my 13-year-old hormones, he looks very bleh now. When the credits rolled I was not impressed. The special effects were cool but nothing about the movie truly moved me.
Fast forward to tonight. I was on the verge of a boring night alphabetizing my bills when I decided to watch a movie. My choice...Julie & Julia.
LOVE THIS MOVIE.
Mind you, it came out ages ago. I didn't think I would like it too much so I put off watching it for a bit. I did the same thing with the Matrix & X-Men (both movies I surprisingly enjoyed). My point is...well I don't have a point except that I really liked Julie & Julia so much that I'm up at 1:52am comparing it to Inception.
The difference between the two? J&J moved me! I was inspired, moved, excited to talk with friends about the message and excited to blog to all of you...did I mention moved? But it definitely confirmed my stance on eating meat. Not Ever Going To Happen.
