Usually disappointed

I’ve almost completely lost faith in Hollywood. Nothing good is coming out of there. All I watch now is “classics” on DVD (like Pulp Fiction, Army of Darkness, Full Metal Jacket) and independent films. Even if a new release “looks good”, it inevitably isn’t, and I always feel dirty having left the left the cineplex $8 dollars poorer and 20% more annoyed. It’s clear that I’m not one of the masses for which this form of entertainment is manufactured. But what really gets me? TV Commercials. The people making these 15-45 second films are packing so much into them. They’re the best short-films out there. I still mist up when I see the OfficeMax commercial where the teacher catches her husband covertly buying school supplies to help out (and mouths “Thankyou”). It’s annoyingly touching.
