true worthiness of a movie

This new car radio will play DVD movies. It has a 6 by 9 inch screen. So far it's had about two and a half movies played on it. After the first few minutes of the first two movies I started just skipping to the next chapter of the movie and watching a couple of minutes from the beginning of it. The first two movies really weren't worth very much. They were somewhat funny but they really weren't memorable. If you watch a movie on a 6 by 9 inch screen and it doesn't really hold your attention then it's really not much of a movie. A movie that has something to say will hold your attention even on a tiny little screen. and the volume doesn't have to be set so high that it blows you out of the room. Now the third movie is an action movie that holds my interest a little bit more. It has some high-tech CGI in it that I find interesting. But frankly the movie really doesn't have that much to say either and it may not be worth watching the rest of it. These are movies that people went to and paid 10 to 12 bucks to get in the door and then paid 10 to twelve bucks for popcorn and a soda. Well they weren't worth watching when I watched them for $3.74 and then threw them in the trash. so I'll keep looking for some interesting movies. But in all fairness there arent going to be a lot of great movies that end up in the $3.74 bin.

Speaking of movies in general though. I've been watching the current running movie list at theaters and there just isn't anything worth watching. A lot of movies are "R" which probably means there's a sex scene in there somewhere or some boobies showing and maybe they pull your heartstrings a little bit over something or there's some travesty of Justice or something that keeps you sort of halfway interested in the thing, but frankly they just look like a waste of time.

I should get an old copy of 2001 A Space Odyssey and force myself to watch it four times until I'm sick of it. When I used to watch it it was so fascinating. it would be interesting to see how cool it is after watching it four times in a row.
