Not that Shocked Anymore

My friends and I watched Saw 5 this afternoon after school. And after watching it, i was surprised at the lack of suspense and thrill i felt during the movie. Oh i don't know, it's not that the movie wasn't bloody enough (it was. really), i think it's just that i seem to have grown enough to the point that the gore in movies like that isn't enough to make me cringe at disgust anymore.

And i think all this is my fault. I watched movies like Saw for the sole purpose of erasing my fear for movies like and members of the same genre (gore) - and other genres like suspense, thrillers, and horror. Granted, i had some mild shocks because of the movie, but nothing that made me jump out of my seat and all.

Therefore, i resolve to watch gorier and scarier movies. Why? BECAUSE IT'S FUN!! Seriously. I'm not much of a horror flick fan. Yet. But i want to be.

Actually, i want to be a movie fan. Period. When the time for working in the corporate world comes for me, i will plan a movie budget because watching movies on the big screen produces a wonderful feeling in my system. Even though i love watching shows and movies on DVD, i still prefer the silver screen. It's just that movies are expensive when you're just a student, yet i can't help it. There are just so many good movies out there that i want to watch. Agh. I want to be a film afficionado, but not one of those elitist types who only love movies that are directed by obscure indie directors. What the fuck. I prefer to be just a simple movie-viewer who watches movies from all genres. I don't like some genres, admittedly, such as noir, but i think that if i become more exposed to the world of film, eventually i will learn to appreciate it. God. How dramatic am I, i'm only talking about movies. Haha.

Can't wait for the Academy Awards. Though i haven't watch MANY of the nominated films like Slumdog Millionaire, The Reader, Revolutionary Road, and all that blah. Gah. If only i had Torrent on my PC i will be content.
