I have noticed that older movies are so much better written than the newer movies, not just with the plot lines, there is so much more wit and the lines were so much better written in the older movies, whereas nowadays they'll just throw in an explosion so they don't have to worry about the lines :) the sad thing though is people still watch them, they are ok with so-so, so the producers keep makin them. Also thanks for the reminder about becoming obsessed with movies :) it is easy to do, and to let movies overcome your thought process :) good post!

I do so love the classics, they are indeed satisfying. =)<br />That would make sense, there are movies where you need to watch the first one first. =) I'll keep that in mind if I considering watch them. =D I really can't judge them to much sense I haven't watched them,... so I wouldn't know whether to call it lazy or not. :)<br />Are you talking about dear Pride and Prejudice? Yes, I do quite love that one too. <br />I'm looking forward to watching War Horse which I know will not have a pathetic story line. =) Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130656303566915681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7946488663028420074.post-51891309991453639032013-07-26T07:52:04.148-07:002013-07-26T07:52:04.148-07:00 :)

They are satisfying on many levels. <br />I did see the recent Star Trek movie and while I did enjoy it, I think it goes along the assumption that the viewer is already very familiar with the characters. (Since it's a prequel - it just works to fill in some gaps. Lazy? -You make the call.)<br />There is one movie that has completely succeeded in my opinion...it is my favorite, but again - it's based on a Classic. (I'll leave you guessing as to which one, except you probably already know. ;-) ) Carol Blanchethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031701738706519481noreply@blogger.com
