So here we are at the beginning of the 2012 Summer Blockbuster season, a day before The Avengers opens (and hopefully will not be considered this years Green Lantern - btw, for anyone who decided to start watching genre movies with that one, I humbly apologize) and I'm thinking exactly what we all are...
How best can I work my entertainment budget this summer?
Yup - as parent/blogger/video-game enthusiast/reader/film buff/couch potato/Grad Student/husband, I simply cannot see every movie/book/game that comes my way. In fact, as grad school is pretty pricy I have to cut down from the nearly ten movies I saw last year from Thor to Fright Night.
I think I'm going to try and get down to four movie theatre trips this blockbuster season.
Yup. Four.
That doesn't mean I won't see more than four, it does mean (B-Day movies with kids immediately comes to mind, or my BFF Mike dragging me to see Men In Black III, quietly hoping I'll forget the irreparable harm that MIB II did to me, and that I've held him responsible ever since). It mostly just means that most of these movies will have to wait for DVD for me to check them out.
Which four do you ask? That's actually a kind of tricky question... Tell you what I'll get back to you next week with my finalists.
Good news for my TV watching followers however, this summer is looking up for my TV-on-DVD viewing. After enjoying The Wire with my wife last summer, I'm thinking I'm going to give a try to The Shield this summer.
