Joy (Quick Movie Review) - "Adversaries in commerce"

So I did what i normally do before going out to watch any movie. I did my own little research which consisted of watching various trailers of a movie then going on to check its reviews on imdb or rotten tomatoes. I've known for a long time now that me and the guys at rotten tomatoes dont see eye to eye so I've long sort of dismissed their opinion on movie quality though I still briefly consult their website.

So I did all of this with the movie joy...everything about the trailer told me its the kind of movie that I'd like but even imdb had really low scores for it so I was really confused as to go watch it. Long story short, I trusted my gut feeling and decided to go watch the movie yesterday afternoon (relative to the time of publishing this). It was 13.13 when i booked for screening at 15 00 at Vue Cinema Leicester square here in London. This is where new movies are premiered so the ticket prices are a bit exorbitant but whatever, I felt there was no better place to be in London at that moment than Leicester square.

Guess what, I trusted myself and it paid off! The movie was freaking beautiful!!! I loved loved loved loved it, oh my gosh. It was me and like a couple of other people in this cavernous cinema (thank you imdb), we definitely numbered less than 15 so we where huddled up around the center seats. That had to be one of the best movie experiences I've ever had. That kind where you have to put aside your pop corn now and then because you just have to concentrate on whats happening...the whole movie was just so captivating. And Jennifer Lawrence!!! My goodness that lady was just fabulous. She had this air around her that sucked you into her life's story. The strength she demonstrated as a woman filled me with all these nostalgic feelings...indescribable really. And oh gosh the music just played with your heart and mind like a piano (sorry Nicki). I went there alone, sat there with a big bucket of popcorn and a tub of coke and let the movie carry me to another place altogether.

So no thank you imdb and rotten tomatoes, I respect you and appreciate your role in society, but there's a niche part of society that you may be failing to cater for, which is completely understandable because any such review of anything is really just a benchmark or threshold kind of calibration of what the average demographic may fancy as entertaining, overlooking of course some very specially niche demographics :)

Listen to no one...

I interrupt my studies because a thought came to mind. Not a thought per say...just...one of my musings. I follow Casey Neistat and Ben Brown on youtube. In one of his vlogs Neistat said the best advice is, "listen to nobody." Hmmm, very profound. What does that mean to me...many things really...For one I understand where this is coming from. If I where to listen to people about how to do my things I'd never really see what ME is and what ME can accomplish. 6 Billion and more people living on planet earth. If I listen to someone and take their advice I'm conforming...ME never really comes out. 6 Billion people all unique and different. You ought to be more like so and so....says mum...says society. You follow a role model even to places you dont agree with...then YOU is never really born. Just think about it...we take advice, many a times against our own gut feelings from a few considered to be models of success. What follows is that we're never US but just copies of these individuals. Redundant copies, for the sake of conformity; not to mention the colossal loss of unique talent/contribution we deny planet earth and mankind. I remember Arnie said "bend the rules"....I think now the penny has dropped. Rules, advice...equals uniformity and conformity plus a colossal loss on the part of the individual as well as mankind on the skill set they could offer. I'm out
