1. I hate it that those movies make us look like a psycho-freak. One moment they make us laugh, then the next thing you know, you’re sniffing and trying to conceal your tears so that your friends (or your mom or sister or brother) won’t make fun of you.
2. I hate it that those movies makes me a couch-potato, and never accomplishes anything for the day…because I would rather listen to Adam Sandler sing than to hear my mom bellow for me to wash the dishes.
3. I hate it that I gain weight just by having a 2-day movie marathon. Like, I consume packs of junk foods for a 16-hour movie. And for the record, I really don’t get the chance to burn those calories for just sitting around while making a list of movies-to-watch-next.
4. I hate it that it keeps me awake at night (and on the wee hours of the day). How could you possibly sleep when you just saw Ashton Kutcher or Ben Affleck strip?! They would haunt you in your dreams, you know!
5. I hate it that it makes me greedy. I wanna have my own friggin’ cars like those that O’Connor and Toretto drives—or just my own Paul-Walker-driver would be fine.
6. It makes me dim-witted (a.k.a. slow) sometimes. Take for example the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I saw it and I know that it’s really a nice movie, but I was just dumbfounded by the fact that I never really understood why the guy has to forget his memories about his girlfriend. I guess I have to see it the second time because I really have to justify what I told my friend when she asked me if it’s really a good movie—I told her “yeah, it’s really beautiful and it made me cry”—I felt stupid for saying that because I don’t even know why I said that…plus I don’t even remember why even I cried when I saw that film.
7. I hate it that it makes me forget my age sometimes. Because I’d rather watch Ice Age and Alvin and the Chipmunks than Final Destination and Saw (even though I used to love FD 1-4). Seriously, my 9-year old brother bought a DVD of Final Destination 1-5 while I was waiting for Kung Fu Panda 1&2 to be downloaded…and when I told him the list of animated movies I have, he just shrugged me off!!!
8. I hate it that it makes me believe in Prince Charming—like I imagined my sister kissing that frog which keeps on coming back near our kitchen door and transform him into a gorgeous prince and live happily-ever-after (of course I would like my sister to go first in case that frog would turn into an ogre instead of a prince…like a trial-and-error thing).
9. I hate it that it made me jealous. Like Jennifer Garner marrying Ben Affleck, or Angelina Jolie becoming Mrs. Pitt (though I would prefer a better last name than that) or Vanessa Hudgens kissing Alex Pettyfer, or Cameron Diaz kissing Jude Law, or Drew Barrymore kissing Hugh Grant, or Ben Chaplin kissing Ben Barnes (—that was pretty disgusting by the way, that I have to close my eyes because I was so hurt how my Prince Caspian had to kiss Basil Hallward for a freakin’ narcissistic Dorian Gray who prefers to stay young! *awful*)
10. I hate it that despite all those things, I still love to watch movies because it makes me and my friends get together and bond…it’s one thing my father and I had in common…it’s makes me forget my frustrations and fears even for a moment…it makes me laugh when I’m sad and keeps me company when I’m alone…and most of all, those movies helped me get back to writing—like what I did just now!
POSTSCRIPT
There’s more actually, but it says only 10…besides, I’d hate to change the title in (More than 10) Things I Hate About Movies.
So, what do you hate about movies?
