Oh for the love of movies

I'm a bit of a movie geek.

I know nothing about film per se.
I just love movies.
I can work up quite a happy dance in anticipation of going to a good, old-fashioned cinematic experience.
(I may have occasionally written movie release dates on my calendar.)

And there are some beauties coming up this summer so I had to share:



Meet me on the fifth row (stadium seating please). I'll be the one with popcorn, junior mints, a diet coke, and a big smile, saving you a seat. (May or may not be doing the happy dance.)

AWESOME! You just made this so easy for me. I watched each trailer and I approve. SIGN ME UP! Can't wait...but I'll be in a different theater in a different state.

Thanks!

Okay, but to make it easier. Let's conference call each other from our local theater, in a fifth-row seat before the movie starts.

These all look like winners to me. I'm really excited for Julie and Julia. I love Meryl and Amy Adams and after watching Doubt I can't wait to see them together again. Although it looks like maybe they are not in any scenes together.

I must have popcorn and Junior Mints too. It makes the experience complete.

You have fabulous taste in movies. Can't wait to see some of these. Chocolate tastes much yummier with popcorn. I can't eat a junior mint without thinking of Seinfeld though.

I would seriously meet you.
I'll even spring for the junior mints.
Name the date and place!!

I love the movies too...I seriously feel deprived if I go more than a couple of weeks without one!

Great choices! I have been looking forward to all of them, except the first as it hadn't crossed my radar as yet.

Movies and popcorn and summer. It's great because you can leave the theater and move on to a bar to keep the night going. Casual, warm, and fun. Yep, you have to love summer movies!

p.s. I bought Julia's cookbooks years ago with the idea of cooking everything starting with the first recipe. Gave it up when I saw some of the things she tackled - I just couldn't face the ingredients, never mind eat the results!

These Look Fantastic! I think you are my new movie guide--I want to see all of them. Oh-they look good. I agree with Emily--you pick the day and the time and I'll be sitting in the 5th row also, just in Virginia.

I will meet you there, and I'll bring peanut M&Ms, too.

05.30.2009 | Unregistered CommenterSally

See you there-except I'll have Raisinets!

06.1.2009 | Unregistered Commentercalibosmom

Oh boy, if I didn't have a bit of a blog crush on you before, I definitely do now. The only one of these movies I knew about was Julie and Julia, thank you for cluing me in on the others!

06.2.2009 | Unregistered CommenterRosie

Okay, I'm officially excited.

(And might I say that Meryl is amazing?)

06.2.2009 | Unregistered Commenterseven smiles
