My latest problem has been with movies. One of my favorite parts of going to see a movie is to see the trailers. But these days, that is not enough. There are now so many clips from movies on uTube that you can see most of the movie before the actual movie comes out. I admit that I am a fan of the Twilight Saga books and now movies. I caved and watched two new clips from the New Moon film the other day and I truly regret it. If I can't wait for the movie, then I have learned to be as impatient as the rest of this generation. And I don't want to kill the experience of sitting in a theater and enjoying the experience for the first time, in complete form.
I also find it frustrating to read about a new film in a magazine and get excited to see it, only to find out that it doesn't come out for another year or more. By the time it is released in theaters I have seen or read so much about it that many times I lose interest, or the actual product is a letdown.
So I have decided to try my best to read what I can, but resist the temptation to see every second on uTube of movie clips and trailers, or read every word of an article. This will be difficult, I know, but as a movie and reading-aholic, I want to make sure I experience these works of art as they were meant to be experienced.
