<U>I don't like cheap scares - they have to be earned - and I don't need to be turned on via sex appeal when I go to the films. Nor do I need to be enticed with romance or "thrilled" by excessive drama. Any of those kind of carnal feelings aren't really why I go to a movie.<C><U>I'd like to see a movie at the local theater.<A>Perfect! I've pulled up a list of showings. To narrow it down, what criteria is most important to you?<U>I want a movie that is well received by critics; they tend to be a reliable indicator of quality, at least in my experience. They must be very well received.<A>Alright then. I will narrow it down to only movies that have at least a rotten tomatoes score of 80 percent. Is that acceptable?<U>Yes, I think 80 percent is fair.<PN>find_movies<PAN>review.critic<PAV>at least a rotten tomatoes score of 80 percent<PAN>location<PAV>nearby<PR>find_movies<PRAN>name.movie<PRAV>Judy<PRAV>The Lighthouse<PRAV>Downtown Abbey<PRAV>Abominable<A>That leaves us with Judy, The Lighthouse, Downtown Abbey, and Abominable. Let's narrow it down further. How do you like to feel when it comes to movies?<U>Well, I like to feel intrigued and engaged. I want a movie that stimulates me intellectually.<A>That doesn't really narrow it down for us. All four movies are pretty deep. What other emotions do you like to experience? Or how do your friends and family want to feel?<U>My closest friends prefer the same kind of movies I do, though they aren't a fan of kids films. They prefer more mature pieces, even if I don't really care either way.<A>I think that rules out The Abominable, but we still have three films here. How about this: what kind of feelings and experiences do you want to avoid?
I think that rules out Downtown Abbey. Anything else you like to avoid? How about genres that make you bored?
