I totally get what you're saying! I tend to not consume much entertainment wise that is set in 'reality'. I like to escape!

I think you may have helped me understand why I don't enjoy some movies, that many love.

I find it hard to allow myself to relax and just enjoy the trip. Instead of escaping, I get drawn in. My little brain tries to make sense out of everything, and the more unrealistic something is, the harder my brain works at making it fit, or at least seem reasonable. 

My Brother used to love having movie night with me. He would take me to some weird movie, we would sit all the way in the back with our stash of booze, and I would commentary the whole movie, pointing out all the errors, while he cracked up. We were the true Mystery Science Theater 3000, long before it ever existed. 

When Betamax came out, he was the first on board. Then of course VHS followed, so that really increased his fun, because we had access to weirdness and we didn't have to leave the house. 

He introduced me to movies like Eraserhead and The Puppet Master series. He loved hearing how my mind tried to make sense out of what was on the screen. The crazier the better. 

I miss those movie nights with just the two of us. He isn't with us anymore, but I never watch a crazy movie without thinking back to those fun nights.

Thanks.

I try to keep those parts of me separate, In my life, escapism ever since I was a small Child has been so important to me! I just relate it to being happy and forgetting all the Human stuff for a while, same with Music etc I put Headphones on and I'm in another place! that's where it all stems from in me. I guess we come at it from Opposite ends.

I would have liked your Brother, and your commentary lol, sometimes the discussions after a Movie are the best part. I used to collect Movies too and had around 6/700 of them before everything went digital and it just made no sense to keep them and grow anymore, everything is a few clicks away, which I really appreciate.
