The 3 R's - Relaxation

While hoping to rest, I invited my mom and dad to watch an old movie with me. It is really monstrous how they are able to draw out a movie that is approximately 2 hrs. long into 41/2 hrs. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the movie had so much dead time, 5 mins would pass without a word said between people and in the final shoot out people were just staring at each other for over 5 mins without drawing their guns. This wasn’t suspense, it was nonsense.

 

The 3 R’s – Relaxation

Replaying old movies this Sunday

Each one was unfamiliar on the replay

Long ago when I saw them I was a different me

And now when I watch them there was greater scrutiny

‘Xamination on the actors and the techniques too

Actors were more simple than I believe I knew

They couldn’t compare with the greats today

I had favorites before but by comparison they just okay

Once I started the critiques I wasn’t resting as I should

Now it was harder to relax in the way that I would
