The Entertainment Weekly Summer Movie Preview showed up the other day. Of course, I devoured it. I love summer movies. I’d say they’re a guilty pleasure, but I don’t really feel all the guilty about it. Hey, I’m supporting the economy. Besides, it’s fun.
The reason this is my favorite time of year is because none of the movies have disappointed me yet. Right now, a couple of weeks before the first would-be summer blockbusters come out, everything has the potential to be Iron Man. The first one.
I know that many of the movies will eventually disappoint. But hope is fun. More fun than cynicism, at least. Pessimists may be right more often, but optimists are happier. And I’m happy just being that way.
