 Howdy, yeah, I'm Mitch Mitchell. I just thought I'd mention it because in the last video I said go look it up, but this time I'll just tell you so I'm Mitch Mitchell and today I want to talk about how people seem to be spending money on stuff that they don't like and I don't quite understand this and I'm really gonna talk about movies We're really gonna talk more about movies You know I went and saw the Batman Superman movie Dawn of Justice and I loved it Not the best movie ever. It's probably not gonna make my top 30 top 40 whatever But I had a good time. I actually liked it and the thing is I went to the theater And I went to the I max 3d which means I haven't spent more money than most people just going to the general thing And I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it for its entertainment value. Was it perfect? No But you know what overall I didn't notice most of the things that all these other people did I mean, I saw people griping about all kind of things What some of the people look like you know just Plot lines and different things like that some people complained because they thought it was too long Really for my money if I'm paying money for it. Let it be longer. I'm sorry. I'm just that type of person People complained about that people complained. It was too dark people complained that you know this and that and whatever You know what I enjoyed it. Why did I enjoy it because it was action-oriented? Yes, it did have some parts where it was giving you a little backstory, but you know what? I'm not an impatient You know, that's how movies used to be used to get a whole lot of backstory Someone did a thing on YouTube where they showed the first Superman movie and the guy was basically talking about how he enjoyed it And then the kids said well, what about the fight scenes the guy says fight scenes And if I not there were no fight scenes in the very first Superman movie Now I'm talking about the one with Christopher Reeve back in the 70s. There weren't any fight scenes There weren't any fight scenes until the second movie So the first movie was really more of a love fest for Superman and I loved that movie And you know what we all loved that movie and that was the 70s now It just seems like if everything isn't bam bam bam bam, you know every minute of the movie then they hate it Now I can tell you a truth There have been very few movies in my life that I have paid for that I didn't like and except for one of them it Was someone else who suggested it and I just decided let's go along because I thought maybe we would have a good time and But it wasn't you know just me going by myself or Me saying wow, I really want to go see it now Those movies are my dinner with Andre, which is the only movie I ever fell asleep on Ever I mean even in the house I've never fallen asleep on a movie, but I fell asleep on my dinner with Andre So there was that there was the first time I saw Rocky horror picture show And this is way back in the 70s. I had no clue. What was coming? I was in college. I had this big afro and it was it the college and I got irked because people were throwing rice and it got in my afro And I was combing rice out of my hair for three days. They were throwing water. They threw toast They threw toilet paper. What the devil is this? I had no clue what any of it was, but you know what? After I went a few years later when I was kind of prepared for it and wore everything else I it became one of my favorite movies ever then there is Pulp Fiction and I you know once again someone has suggested it and we ended up sitting in the very front row of this large theater and I Hate sitting in the front row. I usually sit as far back as possible if I can sit in the last row of the theater I'm a happy man because I want to see everything in this particular instance We were so close that I was already in a bad mood For having to be there and we were there because the theater was packed and so we're in the front row right in the middle Are you kidding? I couldn't see anything and overall I didn't understand what the concept was of this thing We really didn't have internet then so I couldn't even look up ahead of time to find out What was what it was going to be about and I didn't get it, but you know what some years ago? After that I watched it again, and I loved it and I do love this movie Those of you who don't like movies that have this slow pace every once in a while You're gonna hate that movie, but it's actually a very fantastic movie. So that's two and The one movie that I paid for that I really wanted to go to that I absolutely hated it was a movie called Skyline and It was one of those kind of movies where I saw the previews I thought it looked kind of cool, and I said, oh, I've got to go see this and It was horrible This is one of those movies that probably needed to be on the sci-fi channel and I paid for it and Talked about how bad it was. It was so bad. It's the only movie. I talked to throughout the entire movie And you know what I wasn't alone We all talked to this movie It was bad and this is one of those kind of things where I can't even say that I went in Looking for the special effects, you know I can't even say that I said there are special effects and so this is kind of cool on The previews on TV. It looked pretty good now This one is actually my fault because this is the one time that the critics actually got it right before I showed up at The theater They were all right. They said this movie is One of these special effects movies, but they only had a budget of 10 million dollars But Frankie Faizan was in it. So I'm thinking okay This ought to be pretty cool and then they did the two things that I didn't think they would do one They killed off Frankie Faizan within the first 15 minutes He was the only big name in the movie and two they killed off the black guy 15 minutes into the movie. He was the big name Although he wasn't listed as the star. He was the only guy I knew because he was on TV right now So I didn't know anybody else in the movie. Why did you kill off the one person that everybody knows? Horrible movie horrible movie horrible movie horrible movie but out of 56 years, that's the only movie I've paid for on my idea That I didn't enjoy Now I'm finding that kind of interesting Because a lot of people beat up Dawn of Justice a lot of people beat up Star Wars Force Awakens Are you kidding me people just beat that movie up to death? I Can't think of a lot of movies that I've gone to okay. Yeah, I know one I'll get beaten up for this I like Green Lantern. Yes, I did. I liked the Green Lantern movie I may be the only person in America who liked it I'm not sure that Ryan Reynolds actually ended up liking it, but you know what? I thought it was fine. Yes, did the ending kind of Limp in a little bit. Okay. I'll admit that the ending limp I you know, you were expecting there to be really a big fight or whatever It wasn't really that but you know what I enjoyed the rest of it It just seemed like the kind of thing that a regular guy who ended up having a ring decide that he was going to be The next guardian of the galaxy so to speak It just seemed like that's how that was gonna work. I had no problem with it. He seems like a likable guy Blake Lively Who couldn't like her? She seemed nice Everybody even the bad guy for most of this movie. This is the guy like well, you know what? He's just a creep. He's a creepy little guy. So I liked it Paid for it went thought I thought it was fine What was this other movie? I can't think of it right now I'm gonna say Avatar but not don't mean the avatar that was the James Cameron movie It was something where I guess it was based on a kid's TV show and everyone else hated this movie You know what? I actually like that now. I had no backstory. I had no idea that you know anything else That was part of I just went and saw it clean People hated it some of the Harry Potter movies some people hated Harry Potter movies I'm thinking how could you hate a Harry Potter movie? Well turns out the people who hated it didn't read any of the books So they said well you didn't explain this this didn't make any sense This didn't make any sense this didn't make any sense And I'm thinking it all made sense because I'd read the books multiple times So it all made sense to me But that's not really the whole thing my thing is why are people spending their money going the stuff and picking it apart Really? No one wants to go to movies for enjoyment anymore. I mean movies when they were 250 Yeah, you kids today won't believe it movies used to be 250 heck movies used to be a dollar Used to go to the Saturday matinees as a kid in my well before I was a teenager and then even in my early teens and On Saturdays you could go to the movies for a dollar and you saw a cartoon You saw a short but it may have been a Laurel and Hardy short or or maybe a three stooges kind of thing or whatever And then you saw a movie and it was a buck Popcorn was 35 cents Candy was like 25 to 30 cents You weren't allowed to take soda into the theater Boy were those the days But you know, I guess I look at movies today movies are expensive $1213 if you want popcorn and I stopped buying movie popcorn the small popcorns like $8 now And I just can't figure out why you folks are going to the movies with the intention of hating on them Now I know someone's gonna say oh, no, we thought I was gonna deliver this we thought I was gonna deliver this Y'all want perfection There is no such thing as perfection in this world. I'm I'm here to tell you it ain't there if you're not trying to enjoy yourself Then stay home save your money go to a ball game Go to the mall and eat in the food court. Go find something else to do stop complaining about All this stuff that doesn't need it really this guy I met on on Twitter a couple of weeks ago We got into a minor debate about Star Wars the Force Awakens because he wrote a blog post Oh, he had 57 items that he hated about the movie He saw it three times. So I'm thinking wait you spent Probably $50 to go see a movie three times so you could write a blog post telling 57 things you didn't like about it It just blows my mind I could never think of doing something like that I saw Star Wars twice because the first time I just watched it as a love fest But I didn't understand some of the stuff. So I had to go back a second time and I loved it both times You know, I I picked my movies very carefully. I don't go to a lot of movies People will recommend this movie in that movie. Whatever You know, I You know decide what I'm going to pay my money for and I'm lucky like I said 56 years One movie that I decided I wanted to go to that I selected only one has failed me I'm thinking that's a pretty good record So let me know why are you people going to movies that you think you're not going to like? Why are you beating movies up over stuff that has nothing really to do with the movie? You know, if you're looking for this plot stuff, please, you know, I will admit I don't know a lot of the cannon on some of the superhero movies. I don't know all the backstory I haven't read all the comic books. I haven't read a comic book since the 70s I think the last comic book I read was an Archie comic book At least I think so, but you know really tell me why do you go to something that you're gonna end up hating? I I just don't get it. I'm thinking if something has compelled me to go. I'm gonna go. You know what else I liked I like John Carter. Yes, I did. I didn't buy the DVD, but I did see the movie twice I liked it. I don't know why everyone else didn't like it The X you know, I read stuff. It was probably I think more of a period piece than anything else But I liked the movie. So there you go. I'm easy to please Most of the time let me know what you think Like subscribe comment hate it whatever y'all let me know you take care
