Movie addicts

I’ve seen many people addicted to a particular genre of movies, some people like coach\sport movies, some like war movies, some like chick flicks etc Ill start with coach movies, firstly people who watch these kind of movies are semi successful or not at all successful in their respective sport and not successful In any other field, in these movies the parents and the players treat the coach like god “Coach what should I do........., Coach our son/daughter...... “ kind of crap where the coach becomes the all knowing all seeing guy fat guy, they always as a rule end with the team in focus winning against all odds by scoring in the last few seconds in slow motion.

War movies show the pain of both sides at war but as a rule always end with U.S.A winning (unless its Border or Kargil or a Sunny Deol movie where India always wins).The young soldiers too two of them are married generally with one having two children and the other one recently married, one old experienced guy with wife but no kids in addition to the above, one fat soldier usually the centre of jokes, one soldier with happy go lucky attitude and no mention of his family usually skinny and the one who makes the jokes. The others (except the fat one on whom the joke is centred) laugh on it and the old guy breaks the joke and asks them to be serious followed by a fire fight and a soldier getting hit in the arm. Such movies too end with your side winning (unless you are a Russian watching red October which is of course not possible) and you become happy and cheer.

Last but certainly the worst kind : Chick Flicks. Their are endless types of chick flicks but the common factor in all of them is a brainless/ugly bimbo who rises against all odds odds here being guys who are dishonest in their relationships in this case the chick being ugly or a test/career obstacle in this the chick being beautiful but brainless . The feel good factor is again the same only the movie has lots of cleavage regardless of the chick being ugly/pretty.

If you like any one of these genre’s and don’t miss a single movie within it then you are a movie addict, you have a boring, lethargic uneventful lifestyle and very few people who care about you, you watch these movies to bring excitement to your lives. If you are a fan of war movies fear not for there is hope, if you are a fan of sports/coach movies then you have slipped into proper addiction and if you like chick flicks then you a person with low self esteem and you watch these movies to make you feel good about yourselves.

These people share many characteristics with druggies but what makes this a worse form of addiction is that it is socially acceptable when it kills your brain cells faster then weed. I’ve targeted mainly Hollywood movies but attacking Sunil Shetty, Sunny Deol, Sharukh Khan, Bollywood love story genre’s is too much torture for me, I’ve also missed out sex comedies which give losers hope that they will get laid without paying for it before marriage.

There are many exceptions in each genre’s movies that are actually good and don’t follow the same formula to fill the producers pockets and fry the audiences brain but I am talking about people addicted to these genre’s .

Society calls people who are into substance abuse weak and yet there are many socially accepted ways for people to lose touch with reality and slip into their own hallucinations. I am not a druggie or drinker or smoker so you might think I am trying to justify my habit, the following is just my observation with people.
