I only see movies at the Oriental!
I hate Hollywood movies, they are mindless entertainment that give the audience everything it wants. I, unlike many film goers, love movies that make me THINK. I love a good challenge, which is why I only see movies at the Oriental. When I wait inline at the Oriental, I think to myself, "Gee, I am so much better than every one else." While most film goers waste their time watching dribble like Scary Movie 4, I am watching brilliant, thought provoking cinema like Elephant. Why can't people be more like me and think outside the box? Why must they give into trends? I don't give into trends, I am above that. I haven't been brainwashed by pop-culture like the rest of America. Last night, my friends and I saw Thank You For Smoking, afterwards we made our traditional trip to Node cafe, where we talked about the movie and drank coffee. We had a rather engaging conversation and the coffee was delicious. I can't wait to see what challenge the Oriental has in store for me next week. I hope it's another Gus Van Sant movie. That guy is awesome. He is highly revered by critics. In fact, next week in my film history class we are watching Psycho. I can't wait.

There, as you requested, my blog is updated. And man you're such a nonconformist Bryan, going to the Oriental is so unlike everyone else. You're so unique and special!
I thought Thank You For Smoking was good and only made funnier by the fact that Cotey and I were the only ones in the theater laughing because all the Mequon folks don't understand the concept of "humor" or something.
Also you missed a golden opportunity to bash Starbucks and also express irony by going to The Oriental to be unique and then go to a massive chain that is the essence of conformity and consumerism!!!
I also bought the movie The Warriors today. If you don't have that you should get it.
I was going to bash Starbucks, but I thought it would be too obvious. The Node cafe is a trendy place to hang out in Milwaukee, however. You'll find all sorts of "non-conformists" in that place.
Now let's repeat the non-conformists' oath: I promise to be different! I promise to be unique! I promise not to repeat things other people say!
