I'm back at our lake house upstate (or should I say my parents', considering I come up here about two weeks out of the year while they're up every other weekend), a small cottage-type home about a quarter mile from the water. Already, as expected, family bonding is being overtaken by family controversy and high tensions, and I'm coming to the conclusion there is absolutely nothing I want to do in the town of Schroon Lake.
People in little hamlets (particularly isolated ones or ones near/in appealing vacation spots) are a completely different type of people. Ever realize how small town people are super nice? But then again that's where the serial killers come from, the creepy hicks that never speak to anyone but their mother and their livestock. It seems urban areas have a ton of small crimes and rural areas have a few horrible crimes. I suppose then it's all about luck. Would you prefer to always be on your guard for pickpockets but know your self is safe or go with the nice crime free neighbors who, in rare situations, might crush your brains with a meat cleaver and stuff you in their oddly spacious yet always available ice chest? About that, the butchers (that being the Killer's real occupation not a title) never have animal meat hanging around. Do they only kill/eat/sell human flesh their whole careers or just reserve the murder of stupid, yet beautiful teenagers for a time in which the food is just running scarce?
Regardless I'm trying my best to keep occupied through the usual activities like the computer, guitar and some new books, and to avoid hanging from a dirty meat hook at any time during this vacation. But I have made a new, startling discovery that when I listen to Amy Whinehouse I write really witty, sophisticated dialogues between the rich at house parties. It could be a part of the expatriate authors rubbing off on me I'm having to read so much of lately.

rant...sorta... i guess... maybe =]
Even though the families during the Great Depression couldn’t afford to put food on the table, they would spend their last dime on going to the movies. People go to the movies to be entertained. There are many forms of entertainment, but don’t be fooled because movies are the greatest form of entertainment. I enjoy watching movies.
I have been watching movies since I was about five years old. I started with the Disney classics like Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Peter Pan, Robin Hood, and Aladdin. As I got older I discovered new genres of movies. I currently watch animation, comedy, action, and comic book based films, just to name a few. Most recently I went to go see the action packed thriller, I am Legend featuring the talented actor/singer, Will Smith. I can’t go through the day without quoting a movie line. Friends and family can confirm this, this often happens when we sit down to eat dinner but my brothers and I find anytime to quote a movie line when the time is right. It takes me one or two times to see the movie and be able to quote it. But movies aren’t just for me there are films for everyone.
Everyone has different preferences whether it is action, comedy, animation, horror or romantic. There are so many genres of film you will be able to find one you like. This is just one reason why they are such a great way to pass time. This will also allow you to connect with the character or characters. Maybe the character’s situation is similar to something you could possibly be dealing with in your own life. Movies are sometimes based on true experiences or uncover historical events and figures. There are even movies that allow you to experience things that may not be possible or legal for you to do in reality. Watching Clive Owen and his team break in to the Manhattan bank, Denzel Washington stunned by their cleverness in the awesome film Inside Man is an amazing thriller. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. These movies have been perfected for longer then you or I have been around, for this I’m sure that they are definitely worth watching.
Movies have been around for more then 81 years, it wasn’t until 1926 a new invention was born. The first movie with sound was invented in 1926, when Warner Brothers and Western Electric, introduced a new sound-on-disc system. This invention made it possible to hear sound in the movie itself, before this people watched silent films. Movies make it possible to escape your problems as well. In the 1930’s the motion pictures were the most important form of entertainment of the Great Depression. During the Depression an average 60 million to 75 million tickets were bought each week. While the reality of the Great Depression seamed impossible to get away from, the short trip to a faraway land was the perfect thing to do.
For these reasons movies are the greatest form of entertainment. The sound, screenplay, computer graphics, acting, plot, script, setting, camera angles are all important elements that make the movie what it is when brought together in the final product. It takes a large amount of hard work and skill that is worth everyone’s appreciation.
