There's a screening of Money-Driven Medicine tomorrow at Northeastern University, which is practically down the street from me. It's based on the book by Maggie Mahar of the awe-inspiringly informative Health Beat, and promises to be both interesting and educational.
I really want to see this movie!
But...I also have a pass to a preview screening of The Twilight Saga: New Moon tomorrow. And you know which one all the kids will be talking about in the halls on Thursday.
I gotta see New Moon. And why?
Because I love the books? Tee hee. No.
Because I love the idea of elbowing my way through crowds of swooning teenagers? Well, kind of. I do like to elbow.
Because I know teenagers who will be swooning and want to be able to relate to their experience? No, I don't currently spend much time with teenagers.
Because I love handsome, sparkling, angst-ridden vampires? Not particularly.
Because this movie is getting a lot of hype and I want in on it? Yeah, pretty much.
So there you have it. I want to see this movie, rather than a no doubt much more intellectually stimulating movie with more redeeming social value, because media buzz has told me I do.
I am shallow. Sorry, Money-Driven Medicine. If you show up on Netflix I'll rent you, I promise.
