Times When I Must Exit the Conversation

Posted by Unknown | Labels: ,

1) Movies - Alright, here it is. My confession of June. I am terrible at remembering movies. I can't remember the plots, I can't remember the characters, you're lucky if I even remember that I saw it. This proves to be a very difficult thing in the theatre world because everyone is always striking up a conversation like (fake example coming up), "Oh my god, she's just like Suzy Baker from the movie 'End of the World'" and immediately I am lost. They go on to rave about Suzy's performance and all the other movies she's been in and that one obscure TV show she did and that monologue she gives after her son dies blah blah blah. My brain just doesn't feel the need to retain plot information for large numbers of movies. It's the simple truth of the matter. The plus side? I can watch movies multiple numbers of time and still be surprised/emotional at the ending.


2) Politics - This is bad. I don't watch the news or read the news. So I always become very quiet when conversations turn to politics or world news. I need to get better about this. Perhaps I'll subscribe to the Times or something.

3) Celebrity Gossip - I care about celebrity gossip about as much as I wanna have sex with a woman (which is to say very little). Who gives a damn what they wear when they go grocery shopping? Or what happened to Bieber on his recent trip to Macy's? In my opinion, it is just an incredible waste of brain space. The only reason I could see to keep up with celebrity gossip is so that I can write blogs about how stupid celebrity gossip is.

4) 30 Rock- I have a similar problem remembering TV shows as I do remembering movies. I can remember general premises and relationships between characters, but I can't tell you their names. For instance, "30 Rock" is a TV Show that always seems to come up in conversation and I just have to drop out because I don't watch the show. I've seen a couple episodes and (forgive me) I just didn't think it was all that funny. There were funny parts, of course, but in general, I wasn't a fan. Love Tina Fey, though!

5) Sports - I watched every football game in high school (because I was in the marching band) but I still can't figure out how the game works. Let's be real, much to my father's disappointment (and my sister's) I. Don't. Care.

I agree with 2, 3, and 5. #4: GIVE IT A CHANCE ITS THE BEST SHOW EVER. And #1: I did not know this about you. Start using imdb and that will help your memory I bet.
