Summer Movies
The summer movie season is almost upon us. Already, big studios are starting to throw advertising weight behind their big-budget flicks. It will "officially" start with the release of X-Men 2 on May 2nd. Now, I used to get really psyched for the summer movies. So many great action flicks, so much fun stuff...it was heaven for a burgeoning movie buff. But now I've found that I don't really get very excited any more. Sure, last summer there was Episode 2, for which I waited in line, got tickets early, snuck into a preview for it with Bray, things like that. And I am pumped like crazy this year for the Matrix Reloaded (see Duane's blog). But it's not the same. Is it me, or has the summer movie season gotten derivative? I don't see as much coming out that looks like it'll reach out, grab me, spin me around, and knock my socks off. Are movies getting worse? Less entertaining? Less exciting? Or am I just growing up? Who has a thought?
