My favorite movie was Kubrick's "Lolita."
I'm what you might call a movie freak. I go to at least two movies a week, sometimes 3. My heart was broken last Sunday when Angelika shut their doors.
I like to joke with my friends that the reason I moved downtown this past Spring was so my drive to the theater would be shorter.
I'm not one of those people who researches the movie either, many of them I didn't even know the actors, language or story behind a movie. I just walk up and look at the marquis and pick on the spot sometimes. I just like going to the movies.
Whereas my best friend has to read all the reviews and research every movie. He treats the experience as though the movie has to advance him forward in life somehow.
I think it all started when I was about 6 and my dad and I would stop at the El Capitan theater in Pasadena when he would pick me up for our weekend visits. It seemed every Friday I was at the theater.
So to this day, I use going to the movies as an escape.
Everyone set your Netflix for this October when the Human Centipede becomes available on DVD
