I am of two-minds about seeing V for Vendetta; I have some trepidation about it. I am pretty gun-shy about action/adventure/sci-fi movies these days; lately I'm finding a tendency toward Ritalin-soaked video games with the story depth to match (not that I've shied away from high-action cartoon-like movies, but, well, I'm just not in the mood for that - especially considering the subject matter of this one - terrorist-as-hero).

Maybe I just don't feel like seeing a film tonight that explores the usual Gen-X "This awful world would be better-off in Anarchy" theme.

I would also like to see 'Thank You for Smoking', and wonder if I might be better entertained.

Aye caramba. What a piss poor selection of movies in the theater these days. People should boycott movies until they actually start making movies worth watching. :rolleyes:

You should rent a moive.

Ali is a good movie.

What kind of movie are you in the mood for?

One worthy of my time. Other than that, I won't be too picky.

(I'm thinkin' the two options I offered show a pretty god spread of my tastes.)

So, I saw V. It was quite good. Not a ritalin fest.

Oh no! You simply MUST see "The Hills Have Eyes." It's a remake of a failed B grade movie, so it's just GOT to be good!

NOT!

I can't even find a good movie to rent that I haven't already seen. Oh wait! I forgot. Bambi II just came out on DVD. Sheesh!

What is the best way to choose a movie for a Friday night?

The best way to choose a movie for a Friday night is to first consider the preferences of the people you will be watching with. Make a list of genres or specific movies that everyone is interested in and then narrow it down based on availability and ratings. You can also take turns choosing the movie each week to ensure everyone gets a chance to watch something they enjoy.

Should I base my movie choice on critic reviews or user ratings?

It ultimately depends on your personal preference. If you tend to agree with critic reviews, then that may be a good indicator of whether or not you will enjoy a movie. However, user ratings can also be a helpful guide as they are based on the opinions of people who have actually watched the movie. It may be beneficial to consider both sources when making your decision.

Is it better to watch a movie at home or in the theater?

This is a matter of personal preference. Watching a movie at home allows for more comfort and convenience, while watching in a theater offers a more immersive experience. Consider factors such as the movie's genre, release date, and availability in your area to determine which option would be more enjoyable for you.

How can I find new and lesser-known movies to watch?

You can discover new movies by browsing through streaming platforms, following film critics or movie bloggers on social media, or checking out film festivals or independent movie theaters. You can also ask for recommendations from friends or join online movie clubs or forums to discuss and discover new films.

What should I do if I can't decide on a movie?

If you are having trouble making a decision, you can use online tools or apps that offer movie recommendations based on your preferences. You can also try flipping a coin or using a random number generator to make the decision for you. Alternatively, you can always opt for a movie marathon and watch multiple films in one sitting.
