Missing out on the sequel action

Realise I’m no longer a movie buff these days…price of cinema tix is one thing. More importantly, the urge for seeking closure in me has clearly weakened.

In the past few years, I followed through the X-men, the LOR trilogies…

Prior to those, there were Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Alien, Amityville (those 70/80s version), Poltergeist and to some extent, Highlander…yah, you can call me a TV or movie junkie. I was (Miu can probably vouch for that), and still am, I think.

Strangely now, I don’t feel I lost anything when I missed my spidey 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 (and now 3!)… Well, I dun mind being a victim of those commecialised movies so I don’t really quite know what happened to me.

Not that it’s work, or the weak story plot of those sequels that dampen my interest…but I simply lose the craving to watch the sequel for some closure (anyway, closure is no longer ‘in’…it’s the cliffhanging ending that is ‘in’ now).

Maybe it’s harder for me now to succumb to these commercialized tactics …knowing that these are only some whimsical moments that help spice up our life.

Perhaps you have come to a point of realisation that it is a bottomless pit that you find hard to fulfil your desires for movies. 8P
