Movie Choices

Every once in a while a friend of mine calls wanting to see a movie.  Trouble invariably ensues over which movie it will be.  She favors the serious, sober, thought-provoking, intense genre, while I gravitate towards comedies, adventure, or suspense.  I confess, I often feel like a lightweight -- wanting only to sit and be drawn into some silly story that will hold my attention for an hour-and-a-half to two hours (after that, I have sitting still issues).  I feel I should be more interested in broadening my horizons with a documentary, or perhaps a foreign film that has received good reviews.  Or how about a highly acclaimed drama?  Something that will stimulate serious adult reflection and conversation.  

Alas, no.  It comes down to this:  at this particular point in time, I feel I have enough drama in my real life.  I don't need to schlep to the cinema for someone else's.
