Dear friends that I go to the movies with,
You're fired.
Remember when I said, "Let's watch Life of Pi in 3D; I saw it in 2D and it was visually stunning even then!" and you responded with, "Nah, we'd rather see a shitty action flick that has a predictable storyline, will leave your ears ringing when you exit the theater, and won't receive any accolades whatsoever"? Um, yeah. I told you so.
For those of you that missed the Academy Awards earlier, Life of Pi won four Oscars tonight (three of them for aesthetics: Cinematography, Visual Effects, and Directing), beating out all the other nominated films in number of awards won this year. While I am extremely smug that the film I'd been trying to get everyone to go see experienced so much success, I am annoyed that no one gave my pick a shot whenever we did have a movie night.
From now on, theater-going will be a solo endeavor for me. I've been saying this for years now - yes, YEARS! Back when I lived in Northern California, my friends also always chose movies that I didn't like while ignoring my wishes - but I mean it this time.
So if you guys ever have trouble finding a time to hold your weekly "I Hate Reeny" meetings, just tell me you're going to the movies, and I'll pass on hanging out for the night.
