Summer Troubles

A few days ago I said to myself, "Self, I am going to try to see 10 movies in the next 10 days." Then I saw 3 films in a row- Mountain, First Reformed, and Won't You Be My Neighbor?- the Mr. Rogers doc, which I didn't write about but is very much worth your time, but please bring tissues.

I've been trying to plot out my remaining 7 but here is the thing which happens every summer: There isn't a lot I want to see. The 'mop has a couple more films playing that I will get to, and that will bring me to 5. It's the stuff at regal which I'm just sort of meh about. Incredibles 2? Sure, I want to see that, but I'm not dying to view it on a big screen, so maybe, maybe not. Ant Man and the Wasp looks fun. The Purge? Well, I'll obviously see that but not on my own. That one will need commentary. Tag? Deadpool 2? Uncle Drew? Sicario 2?I have zero interest in those. Jurassic Park? Maybe for the dinosaurs. Maybe.

I know, I know, I have movie pass. "it's free, cuz movie pass!" I can hear the chant from the crowd. hing is, my time is not free. I'd rather not spend it watching things I don't care about. SO I might not achieve the 10 I had hoped for. Although, new movies open Friday so... I might.
