Irishgirl/Kristina - I am
so sorry if I sounded patronizing. I sure didn't mean to - but I am very sory if it came off that way.
When I said that I'm not the average movie-goer, I didn't mean that I was better than other movie-goers. I just meant that I see details that might drive someone else crazy. LOL!
I'm just a very literary person, and I see films as literature, in a way. I like to interpret films, as I would books. I majored in English, so I've taken classes in literary theory and learned to "read" films, if that makes sense. I enjoy movies for fun - just watched "Spiderman 2" and "Legally Blonde" (finally!) recently, in fact and I adore fun movies! (My favorites are definitely not all artsy - "Beaches," "Little Women," "A Knight's Tale," The Princess Bride," "The Goonies," "Up In Arms," among others (anything else with Danny Kaye - I love classics from many years ago as well).
I've just got a different regard for artsy films, and a different mindset as well. My husband isn't as into interpreting and discussing films, so I don't do it often, and more often than not, I watch fun movies with a light-hearted sense of humor. I just can't help looking deeper into films made by Hitchcock and Shyamalan. Don't worry - I'm not too cerebral about art and movies. I'm definitely a fun-loving gal! I just am so excited for this next piece from Shyamalan!!!

I suppose I would be lost if I took a more clinical perspective..Have a great time at the movies!
