Working in the entertainment industry on a day to day basis is like any other job. There are good days and there are days that are soul crushing. But the perks don't suck. Today, for instance the hub and I attended a screening at the Academy of Television. Disney was screening The Princess and the Frog followed by a discussion panel with the Directors. I thought the movie was a return to true Disney 2D greatness. During the screening I noted how much it was visually reminiscnet of Lady and the Tramp, and at the same time looked so fresh. There are magical moments and there are moments that I found scary and could scare the pants off young children. But then honestly this new generation of movie goers yuk it up at movies that terrify me.
Perhaps it is my Catholic upbringing, being raised with the Latin side of my family with our superstitions and penchant for believing in the supernatural or that I was mostly an only child that created and lived in imaginary worlds in my head. As an example, the Halloween and Elm Street franchises scare the crap out of me. I understand that most younger people just think those movies are hilarious. The more gore, the bigger laughs. I am such a pussy that I deemed the recent horror movie, "Paranormal" too scary to see. Instead, I decided to read the wiki outline of the plot including the spoilers-- big mistake. The wiki freaked me out. That night when I was awoken by our cat at 3:33 I was terrified. Which is ridiculous because he wakes me up almost every night at that time. Hmm, perhaps it is the other side...oooooo!
