Tonight is the Academy Awards. I haven't seen any of the movies that were nominated, except for Star Trek Into Darkness, which got the nod for Best Visual Effects. Of course, that also means that I haven't been to a movie theater since last May. I thought about seeing The Lego Movie, and I still might, but it takes a lot to make me want to go to the movies. The Captain America sequel opens this month, and I enjoyed the last one a lot, so that might get be out to the multiplex.
Honestly, I really have to be interested in the story to get me to go to a movie. There are people who will see a particular actor in any movie; I don't have a favorite actor. I won't see movies based on who's in the cast, but that doesn't keep me away either. I'm not a Ben Affleck fan, but I'm looking forward to his turn as Bruce Wayne/Batman in the Man of Steel sequel even though the Internet practically committed hara-kiri over it. Everyone thought Heath Ledger was going to be bad as The Joker before anyone saw a single frame of The Dark Knight, until he proved everyone wrong.
I'm going to wrap this up. Apparently, my brother is sore because he made a remark that I honestly thought was a misfired joke. He makes a lot of jokes that don't go anywhere when they aren't genuinely confusing.
