17 movies, 17 theaters — and a whole lot of gas money.
When a new blog appears on the internet, proclaiming some form of originality and unique perspective on an already oversaturated market of opining – it’s recommend to view the newcomer skeptically and not fall for their fancy tricks. This usually takes a few posts to determine if the new guy has any game worth watching. In this case, I’ll save you the trouble: this blog isn’t worth it. I’ve saved you a week or two worth of reading, and in return I only ask that you give me a few weeks of your time – sounds fair, right? The pitch is pretty simple: 17 movies, 17 theaters, and way to much money in gas, which I refuse to think about.
There is a bit more to the pitch though than a catchy tagline. Not by much, but enough. My obsession with movies and TV dates back to watching Star Trek: The Next Generation with my parents at the age of two, and spurred my college studies. In college I learned an obvious truth – how you watch a movie affects what you think of the movie. Technical factors like the size of the screen, the quality of the speakers, or the image quality; environmental factors like who you’re watching it with, where you see it, and what you did five seconds before; and qualitative factors, is the movie any good? A big, epic studio release or a nauseating, character-centric indie flick? That’s the basis of The Awesome Project ™©® — how does our environment affect the viewing of a film?
