Watch
I admit it, I watch a LOT of TV. And movies. What I love about books and music, the story, the images that they create in your mind, come together in TV shows and films. Give me a good storyline, and I’m hooked, anything from period pieces to the supernatural, to a love story.
Its about quality of writing, excellence of acting, and the storytelling. I find myself deeply loyal to a TV show, feeling let down when it doesn’t end the way I’d hoped, or its canceled before its time (NBC is on my boycott list for eternity).
Movies are like a book in visual format, giving colors and feeling to words. Give me a great movie, and I’ll take that over some mindless comedy any day. Napoleon Dynamite was the biggest waste of time in my life. A film like Atonement however, I could watch 100 times and still feel its emotional pull.
