Interests
As much time as I can I watch movies. The only limits are whats on the tube, and even though I have 500 DVD/Blu-rays, mostly you get tired of them. Genres: film noir, romantic comedies, drama (dependent on cast)...well maybe it would be easier to just say I'm not too keen on thrillers, horror, or western. Oh, yes, need to say I like reality TV: cooking, design, and art competition. And some whodunits, and PBS Masterpiece.
Generally, not so much: any 1950 through 1985 film since the acting and dialog was so facile. Yes, yes, yes, of course there were some very good ones during those years, but if I see Robert Mitchum, et al., from those years I pass.
Pre 1950 movies are good for me because they are, "talk, talk, talk" (julia roberts in Notting Hill), unlike now where it is: action -- scene change -- action -- scene change -- scene change -- scene change -- three line of dialog -- then repeat.
