Going to the Movies to watch TV

I really believe TV can be a social experience. Really, really, really. It's just that I can't take it. You've got these nice minutes with your flatmates, have a laugh, share some food. Then the conversation gets gaps, comes to a halt. Something on screen is drawing everybody's eyes, shutting everybody's mouths, and usually that's a commercial. I'm running out to get some bad entertainment.

I really like bad entertainment. Bad, as in: bad mainstream movies. Diesel, Schwarzenegger, Mortensen, no problem. I will pay for them, at the Blockbuster, at the Cinema. The last Cronenberg, "A History of Violence", was the most perfect TV-at-the-Movies experience ever.
