About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

anything or anyone

Prompt: St. Andreas Fault, Jurassic World, an American Heroes movie and a Mad Max movie. Which one of these movies coming out this summer do you want to see?

---------------------

Any one of them will do but only if I am tied, gagged, drugged, and made to sit in the theater.

First reason is because I prefer books.

Second, I am not much of a movie-goer, although I used to be. In our home we prefer to watch movies on a DVD or what we record on the DVR. Last night we watched The Grand Budapest Hotel. I liked the idea of it, its artsy quality in a high-brow sort of fashion, but if I am really truthful about it, I can’t say I enjoyed it. Still it was better than the stuff my hubby watches and I glance at in passing sometimes, while I read a book or do stuff around the house.

Maybe it is old age and not the movie-makers’ fault, but I can’t seem to get as much enjoyment from the movies as I used to a long time ago. It isn’t even the horror or suspense in them. Give me something like the Silence of the Lambs or Carrie, and I’ll love it. If someone comes up with a movie like Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, American Beauty, or even Cold Mountain, I’d be so happy. Possibly, there are good movies out there, but I am not going to waste my time watching forty movies just to come across one movie to my liking.

I think, in quest for originality, the screenwriters and the movie people are coming up with oddities instead of decent movies, and admittedly, the word decent applies to where my personal tastes are concerned.

If you love movies, enjoy them, and don’t be discouraged with what I have written. It may well be because the older I get, the pickier I become. *Laugh*
