    Default Has watching a movie ever changed your behavioral patterns or outlook on life?

    I was watching a movie on Cinemax the other day with Nicholas Cage about him being a private detective looking for the killers of a naive kid from the boonies that got into the severe side of porn.James Gandolfini ''Tony Soprano''was one of the bad guys and it really was repulsive how diseased that whole porn industry is.Dungeons,torture chambers and filthy abandoned buildings crawling with cockroaches are the norm for filming the super hardcore crap.

    A normal guy watches the mainstream porn stuff especially if it's free on the trial offer like Deuce Biggelow did.hehe!Hell,there are allot of free trials to receive porn CD's in the mail like Net Flix and Blockbuster outfits that deal in porn.Then you start feeling like you are contributing to the porn industry's popularity even if you don't spend any money on it.It's amazing how much money must be in the porn industry where the mob has to be making a ton of money on it.I wonder if Bill Gates goes to sleep at night thinking there are hundreds of millions of people hooked on porn and in the industry because of his computer inovations?I swear it's like one out of 20 women in this country that have posed nude for money or free on the internet.You would think that they would realize that they look pretty average and that there is no way in hell they would make it to the bigtime of anything in the entertainment industry.It's like every kid that ever played high school football thinking out loud that in 5 years he will most likely be playing for the Patriots.

    Then you have your movies like The Stu Unger Story and it really drives the point home that Vegas is pretty diseased too.Most people don't see the underbelly of Vegas when they take their 4 night winter trip from Nebraska to Vegas munching down their 75 cent shrimp cocktails and playing their matchplay coupons on the dainty sanatized strip.

    The same holds true for greyhound and horse racing where the casual fan thinks it's a carnival or fair atmosphere.You look in the back stretch where all the ex fellon grooms reside and you see barrels full of remnants of the 7 deadly sins.hehe!

    Every time I watch a Nicholas Cage movie, I lose a portion of my intelligence...and dignity.

    So to answer your question, yes, certain movies change my behavioral pattern.

    Movies? All Gandhi-ed out. Prefer bullets, blood, banditos, and gamblers.

    Theater going experience? There is something about tears rolling down the cheeks of a beautiful chiquita. For that we have movies like Whale Rider.

    I'm sorry jackpot, I can't lie I was out of college for 4 years when forest came out. I couldn't think of any other dumbass in a movie during 1990. Maybe Bill and Ted's excellent adventure, but then again I was in allot of smoke induce hazes during that time myself. but I really did have a 3.65 GPA.

    Click influenced me a bit. Seeing that he worked a billion hours a week in that one. And he didn't really get to enjoy his life and spend time with his family. Makes me realize i'd rather less money/more time with people i care about.

    Movies like bordertown changes my views on the US and corporate america. They covered up all the workers being raped/killed and did nothing about it. Paid the workers 5 hours a day, and all these terrible things b/c of the NAFTA agreement.

    Don't be sorry if not for my 12.5 year marriage I wouldn't have my daughter. It may not sound like it but I'm glad she got her degree(my x ) I'm really not bitter!!
