cinema vs live theater vs reading

I’m more visual than most.  I tend to favor things such as cinema and live theater.  It’s not just a matter of the content, although it is important to enjoy good quality content, however things like cinema or theater add an actors, or playwrights, or director’s viewpoint of a piece.  It’s a kind of discussion with those other human beings not just the writer.

But I don’t go for just the average shoot’em up as I once did in my youth.  I’m after pieces with something worth saying.  How many times can you go to an action flick before you get tired?

Live theater is something I have recently added.  I don’t do too many of these because I want  to be picky as to what I attend.  The performances I attend have been excellent.  They have been thought-provoking, well acted, and presented in a way to make an impact on the audience.

My book reading has evolved over time.  From a diet of mostly pulp and few quality reads to one of mostly quality reads and little pulp.  I can feel the vascular pressure in my brain relax as I take in less garbage and a more mentally nutritious diet.
