Stubs

After years of putting it off, I have finally archived my old ticket stubs. Is collecting ticket stubs an odd hobby? Some people collect stamps, others collect old bottles (beer, spirits, soda, etc...); so I never thought that saving my old stubs from movies as an odd thing to do. The oldest stub I have is from the movie 'Shrek' dated 5/18/01. My friends and I thought it we were much older than the demographic this movie was meant for. But after setting aside the fact we were the oldest people in attendance without children, we had a good time.

I wonder if there is a corelation between the quality of the film and the relationship with the people you see them with? For example, most of the movies I've seen with the first person I dated were horrible: Ghostship, Solaris, Sweet Home Alabama, Imposter, Resident Evil. The only movie that was somewhat redeeming -- which probably helped us stay together a bit longer -- was My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which I really enjoyed (the TV show, not so much). But that wasn't enough to make up for all of the other poor choice...so that relationship ended. The movies that I saw with the last person I dated started off well with Wimbledon, and ended horribly with Alexander.

I might use movie selections as one of many criteria to judge whether or not a relationship will work. It couldn't be any worst than my current methods of selection.
