[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 786956, member: 2189"] That's a great idea, thanks but more often it's one of those spur of the moment things about halfway through the sort and someone sez........ Maybe from the monetary side, a little advanced thought and planning might bring a pretty good payback. When Underworld, Rise of the Lycans came out, my wife took me to work and then my daughter came over afterwards and went to the movie with us. That one on my part was more planned but most have been last minute. Both Tron and the remake of True Grit are on my "must see" list so maybe I'll throw those 2 out at work and see what the interest is and then go from there on the advanced tix. As for being a movie critic in retirement idea, you should do it. It's not movies but several years ago I was watching a program on BBQ and they interviewed these guys in Kansas City who were just friends but once a month went out to eat BBQ together. People would tell them of this place and that place and they'd go check it out and at somepoint the KC newspaper got wind of it and the next thing they knew, they had a regular feature in the Food section on where to eat good BBQ in the greater KC area. They also critique all the sauces to. Now that'd be my dream job! Ever consider starting a movie blog and taking it from there to build a following? It'd be a great place to start or if you have a weekly local paper, talk to them about human interest material. A daily may want you to be a little more proven and a blog or weekly or better yet both could be the ticket. Just a thought! [/QUOTE]
