Mistress the movie whore

So this may seem a weird post, but let's see where it goes. Mistress has referred to herself as a movie whore a few times. And that Mistress is a bit if a geek ... Swoon. If only She were around when i was a teen. i say this knowing there were probably girls somewhat similar to Mistress when i was younger (though most assuredly not as magnificent) but i was too blind/shy to see. i digress. 

Movie whore: throughout my life, movies have been an escape. 7 brides for 7 brothers. Showboat. Clash of the titans. Et. Star Wars. Star Trek. They just kept rolling forward through the years as VHS became mainstream and they could be recorded with free movie weeks through Cinemax or hbo (we didn't have a ton of money growing up). And then renting my first movie through the library system ... Eraserhead by David Lynch. And watching it over and over by myself because everyone in my family hated it (if Mistress hasn't seen it, i highly recommend, even though it is a little hard to watch and appreciate).

And woody Allen came along. And i was in love. And i dove deep. What inspired him? Why? What was an homage? And Truffaut and Fellini and Bergman. Omg. 

And time moves forward and my first Paul Thomas Anderson film - magnolia. Which i cried at for the beauty. And skipped forward and back to gobble up everything that happened and was filmed and met Coppola, Kubrick(my god Kubrick), Scorsese, Sergio leone, Polanski ... And the list of greats goes on and includes so many current directors and writers that move me and make me feel and capture me. Hold me. Make me live in a world not mine for an hour or so. 

If Mistress hasn't noticed, i have an affinity for writer/directors. The movies ring clearer to me. Are more sound. 

i love being lost. i love being moved. i love good film. 

Now that's not to say that i don't appreciate dumb blockbusters and light fare. i do. But film, not movies, film ... 

When Mistress says She is a movie whore, i say, purr .... Put me on the street and trick me out.
