Mansions Dave and our undying love for Movies that defined us

Nostalgia isn't a bad thing, at the risk of sounding overly simple

So I was taking a look at a lot of the Movies that defined who I am as a person

It literally did not faze me at all that they came out decades ago, the Movies that shaped who you are always have a special place in your heart

It would've made no difference if they came out this morning, my feeling towards them is the same

It's the same as actually falling in love with somebody, it doesn't matter how many decades ago you guys first laid eyes on each other, that feeling is always exactly the same

So looking back I realized that a lot of the Movies that I watched were from the Female Perspective

I also realized that a lot of the Movies that I watched were produced by the Lead Actors

I was just thinking a couple of days ago that I legitimately do not care if a Movie that I adore and shaped who I am was produced by the Lead Actor

So here's what I actively avoided as an Adult, Movies that were in the Female Perspective but now I realize that there are different degrees to that

It doesn't matter if a Movie is from the Female Perspective, that doesn't automatically devolve it into unwatchable Chick Flick garbage, there are degrees to it

That being said Movies made from the Female Perspective are basically standing on a slippery slope and there is all the potential to become just that, unwatchable Chick Flick garbage

I think what I'm trying to get at is, Movies where the Producer is the Lead Actor and Movies in the Female Perspective are both standing on slippery slopes but it's okay, it can go either way and it can potentially be tasteful

There's an interesting intersection there too, a lot of the Movies that are dear to me are both, from the Female Perspective and had the Producer give themselves the Lead Role

I'm beginning to realize that's not necessarily a problem

At first I was oblivious to that even being an issue and then as I grew older I not only learned to identify the issue but I screened them out with extreme prejudice and now I realize that it's highly nuanced and I have to have the sensibility to pick out what was tastefully done and what unfortunately slipped all the way down the slope

So I thought I was being mature but turns out I still had some growing up to do
