| I used to be clueless, but I started watching more and more. It's hard to get access to good movies if you only go to blockbuster. Now I have a big collection. Terry Gilliam is my favorite, followed closely by Jarmusch. |

Proving that Keeno has drawn the wrong opinion on the whole "films are awesome Y/N" debate? |
Oh. I wasn't saying in my original post, that movies weren't awesome.
The point was, I just cannot 'read' them in the way most people can. And like many posters here I have a horrendous recall for movies.
I don't understand why, given what my memory is like in other areas.
And I wondered if that was the case for anyone else.
Of course I probably missed the irony in the first place (and that too doesn't help when watching movies) because my ability with irony is almost as minimal as my knowledge of movies. |

| Yep. Movies and TV shows are subjects I know little as nothing about, so usually I just sit around clueless of what people are talking about when they discuss those. |

Only problem I have is that a lot of times, people like to talk about brand new movies that I haven't seen yet, and probably won't see until they hit TV 
Or TV shows.

Yeah, you movie quotient seriously drops off once you have kids...
These days, the only movies I get to see at the cinema are kid's movies...
I try to cheat a bit - and sometimes it works - like the time I told my wife that since Beowulf was a CGI cartoon movie, it's a kid flick...  and the time I took my then 4/5? year old to see Revenge of the Sith...

No kids here, I just don't get to go to the cinema as often.
