I feel like seeing a movie. What's playing in town?
There are some good dramas playing in town now. What would you feel about Downtown Abbey or The Current War?
I don't like watching dramas in the theater. If I relate too much to what's going on I get uncomfortable. I'd rather watch a drama at home so I can leave if I get uncomfortable.
OK. How about a comedy? There are a couple playing in town now. Isa Pa with Feelings is supposedly good.
I heard that's a romantic comedy. I don't like too many of those as it's the same story again and again. I'd rather not see one. I'd rather watch a comedy that's not too stupid and mixes things up with other genres like an action movie or something like that.
OK. What kind of movie do you feel like seeing?
I think I'd like to watch a cross-genre movie. Something that makes me feel different emotions, like the happiness from a comedy or the adrenaline rush from an action flick or a horror movie.
What about Hobbs and Shaw? It's a funny action movie and it received good reviews.
Nah, that's been in the theaters for some time and I already saw it.
How about a horror movie? It's near Halloween so there are quite a few horror movies playing. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and Zombieland: Double Tap is in the theaters and there's a revival showing of A Nightmare on Elm Street in Town.
How's the reviews for Scary Stories?
Not good for Scary Stories. Variety panned it.
OK. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is out. I'm still not sure which of the two I should see.
Do you feel like watching something new or seeing an older movie on the big screen?
I'd rather see something new with my friends that we'd all like. I like my scary movies very scary and Maggie doesn't like movies that are too scary so maybe I shouldn't see Nightmare. I'm still not sure about Zombieland.
Zombieland received good reviews from Variety and the Post.
OK. That's one possibility. At least it would be something new that I could see with friends. I'm still not sure though.
You could see Addams Family? It's a spooky animated comedy?
No thanks. Sounds like a kid's movie. What else is there?
Not much in the way of escapism that's funny and something else. The Zombieland sequel best fits the bill. And Bill Murray is in it.
You should have said that in the beginning. You know I love Bill Murray. I'm off to Zombieland.
Enjoy the movie.
