And here's where I call down the fires of heaven upon my poor little head...

The last move I saw was: Journey 2 the Mysterious Island, and it was really fun. More importantly, it wasn't disappointing or frustrating at all. Just fun.

Maybe I'm getting senile, but I think at this point in time I'd rather watch a "try nothing" pile of silliness like Journey 2, or Battleship and not have any expectations and not be disappointed than walk out of Dark Knight Rises, Prometheus, Skyfall, The Hobbit, and Les Miserables (all films that try for something grand) with a mixed bag of disappointments and frustrations.

I feel a bit like Winston Smith deciding to stop fighting and just embrace that Freedom is Slavery afterall. Movies that don't try to be good don't have to be good to be good.

The problem is that my favourite movies are the kind that reach high and succeed. So I will probably continue to look for excellence in movies that attempt to offer it, and rejoice in the few that do whilst I find myself disappointed in the many that don't.
