I just got back from seeing Silver Linings Playbook, which I found highly enjoyable. I really like going to a movie in the theater because I enjoy the feeling that I have a shared experience with this strangers. I mean, after I saw To Kill a Mockingbird in the theater, I had a conversation with a woman in the bathroom about how much we liked the movie and how enjoyable it was to see it on the big screen. On the flip side there was a conversation that I overheard in the bathroom after seeing Silver Linings Playbook. The women were complaining that the movie was depressing because the main character both suffered from mental illness and that it was good that Bradley Cooper was in the movie so there would be somebody nice to look at. And that there were no good movies playing (now, the traditional time when most Oscar bait movies are in the theater like Argo, Lincoln, Les Mis, Zero Dark Thirty etc). Which made me I realize what I want is to see a movie with a theater full of people like me. Who are completely silent and don't get up to pee in the middle of a movie.
Also, there were about 20 mins of trailers before the movie started. There is a movie coming out soon that stars Tina Fey and Paul Rudd. And Lily Tomlin. A dream come true!
