Get Me Riled Up and I’ll Probably Cough Up $10
The movie theatres don't get my $10 as easy as they once did. Nowadays, I have to get super riled up about a movie before I go waste $10 on CGI, escapism, cheap thrills, superheroes and/or laughs. For the most part, I usually wait a month or two until movies are released on Netflix.
I can't explain what it is about the few movies a year that I get completely psyched up about and cough up $10 willingly. I think it has something to do with quality plus landing in the "must be seen on the big screen" category. Most Oscar-season flicks and movie festival darlings aren't included in the "must be seen on the big screen" category instead they are put in my Netflix where they wait until they're released on DVD. A movie like The Matrix or Iron Man would be included in the "must be seen on the big screen" category.
These are two movies that I'm currently riled up about:
The Happening
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Release: June 13
The Dark Knight
Director: Christopher Nolan
Release: July 18
I'll let you know if I cough up $10 to see either on the big screen. I'm guessing I probably will.

hahahah
seriously, it pains me blowing $10 on any movie. There aren't any movies upcoming this summer that I'm looking forward to at all.
I probably will be blowing anywhere from 50-80$ on shit I don't want to see though. It's a peer pressure thing.
