Don't Ever Go To the Movies With Me

I'm Serious.
I can't remember the last time I walked out of a movie theatre just laughing with my friends. Even when its a comedy.
I think the last time was when I saw Hoodwinked. Now that was a GOOD movie. Watch it. its hilarious and really cute.
But really. I walk out of movie theatres silent. Always. something like that anyways. I think about it. Hard. Deeply?
Yes, i ruin the fun, cuz while everyone else is laughing about that one scene, i ponder about it. Stupid.
Dave's right. I relate every movie to my life. I know, that's really self-centered. but no. I can never leave it at the theatre. I can't. I think about it. Who does that anymore? Really.
Every movie has a message. I take it to heart. I think about what people are getting out of it and how it reflects the view of the public in certain ways.
Lately, I've been seeing situations from my life in movies. I don't know if that is good or bad. Probably bad. Most likely. But it's freaking me out here.
It's like seeing a mirror sometimes and going, "Ooooooooooooooooooooh!"
Maybe it's just me. It probably is.
But who knows. It doesn't even matter really.
Have you ever stared at the wall or something inanimate, and just thought about nothing? It's as if you're trying to think of something to *think* about, but you can't find the *thoughts* Does that make sense? You just have a feeling or vibe of some sort. Like you should be thinking about this one thing, but don't know how.
It's like trying to say something but not knowing what to say or how to say it... but in a mind process level (?)
Maybe if I think really hard, this weird feeling in my mind/gut will evolve in thoughts and maybe eventually words. That's what happens. It's pretty rare actually, but odd when it happens.
It's funny how movies can sneakily tuck a message into your head along with those laugh out loud scenes. They are clever, aren't they? Them movie-making folks.
Words are hard. If you really want to know what/how I feel, ask me to turn on a song that defines. I will ace that baby. In my head it will fit flawlessly. Though, to you, most likely, not so much.
I like honesty. It's nice. And what's honest is the fact that things will almost always not turn out the way you'd like/think it will go. Is that a double negative? Something of the sort.
I do enjoy the movies. I really do. But my two free tickets ran out so I will most likely not go to the theatre again until either
a) 5-6 months
b) my parents take me
c) i go on a date (coughnotlikely)

But please, share your thoughts. On either how you feel/felt after watching a certain movie, or a moment when words fell short or both. Or anything else. Please. I really am interested.

*by the way I usually write with a lot more intelligent language. I'm mostly smart. I promise.

This sort of thing happened to me the last time I was at the movies. I was sitting there watching, shoveling in popcorn, and then I just stopped and was like---what am I *doing* here? I'm sitting here watching this movie and my brain keeps wanting to go into this lullish state, which is like putting a curtain over it, blocking out all deep and rational thoughts. Movies make me forget about the world. I don't like that feeling. I hate feeling shallow, with thoughts only revolving around myself. I like to be aware. I don't know why this happens, but it does and it's weird.

I think its good tho, that we recognize what happens so that we don't go completely numb and just conform slowly.
