as increased due in part to my new job at Family Video where kids movies rent free. Yup. That tagline is what I say in my head every time I hear "family video" now. But whenever I get good enough sales I get free movie rentals so I've been educating myself on a bunch of great titles. Recently: A Clockwork Orange and Prozac Nation. Both based on books. Both very great. Clockwork was... strange... disturbing... and that's an understatement. I've never read the book but always have wanted to. Now it's definitely on my buy before I read list.
Same with Prozac nation. I was surprised at how much of myself I saw in the main character's personality and feelings. It was a little scary to see what I know is how I act sometimes. But it also makes me want to keep bettering myself and accepting who I am regardless.
Movies, books, art and music are all things that affect us on some level. I love when I find one that really touches me or clicks with me. It's almost like therapy... but a lot cheaper. Maybe doctors should start prescribing these things instead of pills...
