Day 18: I'm Clearly A Movie Fanatic, So, Let's Talk About It.

So, I was pretty productive yesterday, I got a couple assignments done. Alsooooo, I watched some new Netflix movies! I have to recommend a movie I watched. It's called "Bad Trip", starring Tiffany Haddish, Eric Andre, and Lil Rey Howery. They are HILARIOUS! Holy cow, I have not laughed that hard in so long! This movie was made by the creators of "Dirty Grandpa", and "JackA535" Which was made similarly where the actors filmed the movie, but in real life, all the people have real reactions to the crazy story-line they preform. This takes real comic talent.

There's also one show that never fails to make me laugh every 5 seconds. I know I'm supposed to be talking about movies, but this show is important. It's called "Impractical Jokers". Me and my family have been watching this show for years. You can find it on the tele if you have cable. If not it's also on Netflix. Right now on cable they aren't putting out their typical shows as they normally do public jokes involving other citizens in New York. Though they have a new temporary show called "Impractical Jokers: Dinner Party". It may not seem that interesting, they have virtual dinner parties where they pick a cuisine each show and tell

stories. They bring on special guests, and just joke around and make fun of each other (they're good friends, so they're allowed). If you like their normal show then you will probably like this one too.

They are all hilarious, but Murr and Joe are my favourite. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Since I was young, I recall endless trips to the movie store. Back when movie stores were big. (There's a documentary on Netflix called "The Last Blockbuster" if you're interested in learning about the death of movie stores.) Going to the movie store was a big highlight of nearly every weekend. School was out for two days, and I was a home-body that didn't have much more to look forward to on a Saturday night.

Like my love for books, I think my love for movies roots to the idea of being transformed into other worlds. Life isn't always as happy as movies, and books can be. So, why not leave the real world and enter a fictional one. Most of the time I like watching light-hearted, happy movies. Though, that's not to say that I don't like heavy movies, I just have to be in the right mood (not going through too much stress etc.) I love educational movies about real life, history, or fictional movies that can have a powerful impact about real life issues.

I have already shared my favourite movies, and my favourite young-adult fictional romance movies with y'all. So, I will share some of my other favourites in different sections.

Sometimes screen time can be bad, and make us lazy. However, if you create a good balance, I think that it can be beneficial. I believe that young kids should have a little time watching movies, I do think that they can be educational and help us learn, and grow. Though books should hold a higher importance in my mind. As much as movies inspire people to imagine, books do that and more. When I read books, I don't just read the words, I get consumed in them. Especially if it's a good book, I feel like I'm the character living that life, and reading takes me right into that life.

One thing that can be damaging is if you really dive into the movie or book, and your life doesn't quite meet the amazing life in the story. Sometimes, that can get you down, but it's important to remember that everything you want out of life, you can make it happen. It is completely down to your mindset. You need to believe you can, and you will. Movies make me feel like anything is possible.

KEEP ON DREAMING

KEEP ON BELIEVING

GET INSPIRED

KEEP CREATING

Thanks for reading humans.
