movies can be fun
they can also be boring
then, some are just plain
Ah, nothing like a haiku that describes a movies quality. But the above is true. How many of you have seen a movie and felt like you just wasted your time? It happens. And after thinking about this recently, I feel that what people say about a movie strongly influences how much you like or dislike the cinematic feature.

On one hand, there may be a correlation between what peers think and what the viewer thinks. For example, in college my friends had I watched movies that would normally be discarded as off-beat. Because of who those friends were, and the experience around the movie (making coffee in a microwave, etc..), these movies were actually enjoyable. The same goes visa versa.
The other way I am thinking about here is the hype a movie receives. Sometimes people make expectations so high that can only be met by a light saber fight between Yoda and Darth Vader (sadly this never happened). Often times I will watch a good movie, but it is not good enough because of my expectation. I hate that.
What am I saying here? Nothing of any importance… it’s too early to think hard. But I will write another haiku:
freshly brewed coffee
filled up high, my cup is warm
the aroma spreads
