I obviously don't have every ticket for every movie I've ever seen. I am so thankful for that. All of these ticket stubs I have currently fit into a small container. It's not like I'm swimming in them or anything.
A lot of the ink on the tickets have faded away and there are a lot of random stubs w/ nothing on them. I don't understand the necessity to hold onto these. I keep concert stubs & things like that too, but those are a lot easier to look through in a scrap book. Movie tickets make a lot less sense unless it was a special occasion. I'm going to do my best to remember who I went with too... This does make me feel a little nuts. Hopefully I don't attract any stalkers from providing theater locations over the years. This is more for me to know there is a virtual scrap book if I ever feel the need to remember what movies I've seen. I've gone to a lot of dollar theaters over the years but I cringe at the thought of how much money I've spent. Some of these movies I don't even remember seeing or were shocked that I did see. Some of them I just go see b/c they are so awful or so wonderful that I can't not go.
I had to write this one over several days to add my unnecessary thoughts.
I really really really should have broken this up into several blogs.
[EDIT - Moving 2012 into a new blog.]
2011
Blue Valentine @ Arclight Hollywood (CA) w/ Kelley- I liked this movie despite how depressing it was. I thought my heart would be tearing more at the end but it didn't. Loved the music. Love Ryan Gosling & Michelle Williams.
- I have read this book series a couple times. I have to say this was much better than the last installment.
- Well I surprisingly liked this movie.
- Fun movie. Great cast. So so story.
- This movie is ridiculous, but it's fun. So many old people in the theater when I saw this.
- Pretty good. Not raving about it.
- I have to ask myself - is this the one with Natalie Portman? Like I said, I love romcoms. The whole reason for her not letting herself fall in love is totally bizarre. The Dread Pirate Roberts plays a doctor.
- Ugh. Awful & pretentious. I should've listened to my gut & not seen it. Not even worth the $2 I spent to go.
- Solid movie. I can't believe how dead on Christian Bale is to his character.
- I had to remind myself at the end that this is based on a true story. Totally crazy movie. Loved it.
- Total crap. Not even slightly good at recreating an 80s movie.
- I wanted so much more from this movie. Not that great but watchable.
- I cry every time I watch the 1996 version with Charlotte Gainsbourg. This version is okay.
- As cheesy as it is, it's not as awful as everyone makes it out to be. Plus I got to see it in 3D for free. Thank you Arclight points!
- Freaking LOVE this movie. I finally feel like Woody Allen hit the nail on the head. A lot of his movies feel like something is missing.
- I think I saw this with my brother, which was weird for sure. Some really funny laughs. Had a total zero budget feel to it a lot, which is fine but not what I expected. Kristen Wiig is awesome.
- I honestly can't remember if Mike was with us or not. Harry Potter - always a fun time!
- This movie was great, even though I think they were trying too hard with one of the characters. The train scene was unreal & scary.
- This could have been so cool. Lazy Sunday movie.
- Terrific job at a remake. Didn't see it in 3D and there are 2 or 3 very obvious 3D moments. Fun cameos.
- Bizarre. Didn't know what to expect when I went in to see it, but I liked it.
- Pretty good. Nothing outstanding but I enjoyed it.
- I laughed sooooooo much. Totally loved this movie. Anna Faris is so underrated.
- This was a pretty funny movie for what it is.
- Terrible.
- You can't open the movie w/ Leo in full on old people make up & talking like an old dude. I laughed so much and couldn't take it as serious. He's a great actor though. The story was interesting enough. I just couldn't get passed him being old. I wish they just cast old people instead.
- Loved it despite the fact I'm not a Jason Segel fan and there are very odd musical numbers. I grew up watching the Muppets though, and was really happy to see this turn out to be a good movie. Some great laughs.
- This series is ridiculous. It's like morbid curiosity.
- I liked it. I think it's kind of weird & yeah, she doesn't change, but isn't that the case with most fucked up people? Don't expect resolutions. Charlize Theron is amazing.
- I liked this movie, but I didn't love it.
- It was fun but I enjoyed the first one more.
- Yes, this was Valentine's Day all over again, but what the hell... it's a romcom.
2010
Young Victoria @ Laemmle Pasadena Playhouse (CA)- I liked it!
- Interesting. Creative. Not sure how I feel about it.
- Yikes. Good movie but seriously heavy.
- Avatar is fun but people give it too much credit.
- I can't remember much about it, but it was fun.
- I can't keep these straight. I think it was ridiculous. That's probably accurate.
- I can't get passed why a plane taking off in Santa Monica would fly through the buildings of DTLA. Puh-lease! Anyway, disaster films are always fun. They're just not always good.
- This movie sucks SO BAD. I was angry throughout.
- Cute!
- Good. I never need to watch it again. A guy passed out in aisle of the theater b/c he couldn't take what was happening.
- Good but where the hell is Lita Ford? It's weird she's like a background character... I'm pretty sure this doesn't represent well.
- Yeah, we went to see The Lost Boys at midnight. That sax scene is totally stupid. Ugh Joel.
- I think Crystal's friend made this movie. I can't really remember much.
- Totally stupid. Some fun moments.
- Pretty good & Marky Mark remembers to be shirtless.
- These movies are pretty fun.
- I liked this movie a lot. Interesting.
- Uh... interesting concept. I'm glad I didn't see a remake of the original story. I'm sick of seeing Johnny Depp in every Tim Burton film. I didn't think the Mad Hatter should be a technicolor acid trip.
- Love midnight screenings. Don't love when they're oversold & people are sitting in the aisle. WTF? Anyway, it's The Shining. The movie is awesome.
- Wait... is this right? How did I go see this twice? I guess it was pretty funny.
- The story was totally stupid, but I enjoyed the series.
- Romcom. Don't expect anything more. It's fun.
- It was totally Kick-Ass. Scary for the violence.
- I can't keep these movies straight. Seriously.
- LOVED it! JGL in a suit - awesome. Tom Hardy being, well, Tom Hardy - awesome. Leo - awesome. Really, everything is awesome here. The story too. Bonus - I got to work at the premiere filming Hans Zimmer performing a concert. That was cool.
- This movie was okay but pissed me off how shitty they were to each other.
- This was a weird movie but I remember liking it.
- Holy f#@k. This movie is so awesome. They won me over at the Universal title. This girl we went to college with, her husband made the graphic novel series.
- This movie is kind of crazy.
- Pretty good but I'm not feeling sorry for Julia Roberts.
- As my brother would say - what is up with the butterfly tattoo?? It's a really slow paced film & I liked it & was fine with it, but it has it's wtf moments.
- Yeah, I went to see this. I love Milla Jovovich.
- Damn good.
- Funny movie. Pretty good.
- It's kind of depressing, but in a good way.
- A really good movie about Facebook. Who would've thought?
- Fun movie.
- It's Harry Potter. Always fun to watch.
- I went to see this with my sister. She was hilarious b/c she kept gasping & saying oh my god, and she didn't realize it at all. I kind of love it. It's real dark.
- This was a fun movie. I didn't mind it.
2009
He's Just Not That Into You @ Arclight Sherman Oaks (CA)- This movie is just not that good. I wish it were better.
- Liked it.
- I remember seeing it. I think I liked it. It's been too long to remember.
- Very good.
- I liked it. Falls flat at the end I think, if I remember correctly.
- I love this movie.
- I was mislead by the character being named George Eastman. This one turns out to be not so good. I liked the movie.
- Oh my god the shrieking teenagers. Fun times!
- If you're going to rework Star Trek, it's a good thing you went this direction. Fun.
- As a Terminator fan, I was pretty angry when I left the theater. Let me slap the writers for being dumb.
- I'm not too into these movies. It's not that they're bad, it's just, eh.
- Fantastic.
- Cute.
- Cute.
- Future Cult Classic.
- Cute.
- This was pretty good, but not terrific.
- Soo funny.
- I really liked this one.
- I remember it being... meh.
- Best Harry Potter film ever. Gorgeous cinematography. I loved it.
- Heather & I briefly worked with the male star of this film. The movie wasn't that good unfortunately.
- I fucking love this movie.
- It's bad when I have to say, which Katherine Heigl movie is this?? It was okay.
- Yeah, that's right. I went to see it again.
- I liked it. Strange. Trying not to compare it to 2001.
- So good I went to see it again.
- This was cute.
- This movie is okay, but Julie isn't very likeable.
- Holy crap, I have a neighbor like that dude.
- I liked this movie, but had a head shaking moment when Rosy asked me after it was over if that's what really happened. *Face palm.
- Total shit movie.
- It was pretty good.
- I barely remember any of the stories. It was very sub par to Paris.
- 3 times. I've never gone to see a movie in the theater twice until recently.
- So pissed. Not at the movie, but at the fact that I accidentally deleted the info for this one & god damn autosave is saving every 10 seconds. WTF. Anyway, the movie was okay. Weird.
- This movie makes me cry so much. I fucking love it.
- This movie is really good people.
- Good movie.
- Not so good.
- This was pretty good, kind of depressing.
- I remember liking it.
- It was pretty good.
- Fun movie!
- Ha ha - at the end Heather goes - Fucking Coen Brothers!
2008
27 Dresses @ Burbank 16 (CA) w/ Heather- I don't care. I love this movie, however unbelievable that you wouldn't tell your own sister to back the fuck off.
- I seriously cannot remember this movie despite looking it up and seeing the plot & cast & that Woody Allen made it. Was it that forgettable?
- It was okay.
- I am not a fan of Jason Segel & I really don't need to see him naked. The rest of the movie was pretty funny. This guy has a thing for puppets, huh?
- I rather enjoyed it.
- Jeez. Where does one start. Such great potential. Too many corny things happen.
- It's been so long I can't remember what happens, but I remember liking it.
- Intriguing but M. Night Shyamalan needs to get better endings.
- So freaking good.
- Totally AMAZING.
- I want to believe they could've done better.
- It was okay. There are some laughs.
- Pretty good.
- I liked it.
- Ha ha - Anna Faris. Funny stuff.
- Meh.

- Ugh. Not the best.
- I was like... I saw this??? I guess so.
- What happens in this one? 2 is the best.
- Very good.
- All these Pirates movies kind of blend together in my head.
- So sooooo good. I loved it. The scene w/ the lonely tourist made me cry.
- It was okay.
- Ugh. Why is Justin Long in so many movies? And why can McClane suddenly dodge cars flying at his head?
- I can't keep these straight usually, but I love them.
- I was honestly shocked that I saw this in the theater. I can't for the life of me remember going. It could be that I've watched this movie hundreds of times.
- It was fun, I think.
- I liked it.
- I was hoping for so much more. Especially after the short movie.
- Great concept.

2006
Memoirs of a Geisha @ Arclight Hollywood (CA)- I remember liking it.
- It was pretty good.
- Also pretty good.
- What a crap movie. Awful. Johnny Depp warns you in the beginning you will not like him... he should've warned us that we wouldn't like the movie.
- This movie made me mad. I'm pretty sure violence & anarchy don't solve anything.
- Liked it.
- I can barely remember it. I think I liked it. I usually do.
- Depressing! But a pretty good movie.
- Cheesepuff stuff here folks. It's totally watchable. In fact I "watched" it while compiling this blog. It's a movie to have on in the background.
- Pretty good, although I think her bf should be way more understanding. She's only doing the job for a year right? I guess we can argue about it.
- I remember liking it.

- HORRID. This movie made me totally hate Crispin Glover. Not only was it not coherent as a movie and totally awful (worse than a student film & way more fucked up), I also was very sick & want my time and money back.
- So good!
- Fun movie! At times a bit too long. I'm not sure about Jack Black being the one for Kate Winslet.
2005
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events @ Burbank 16 (CA)- The best part of this movie is the end title sequence. Better than the film. Props to whoever made that.
