It’s not so much something I recently started, but rather started doing again since the pandemic; which is going to the movies. Before the pandemic, I would go to the movies two to three times a month, but in the past few years I have been hesitant to go.

However, lately, it seems like things have calmed down and there have been a few films that I definitely want to watch in a theater. So I’ve made up my mind to go to the theaters. There is nothing like being fully immersed in a movie at the theaters and it’s a nice little escape. I mean, who doesn’t love enjoying a film while eating a bucket of popcorn?

Many theaters had gone through renovations during the pandemic and most seats are spacious and comfortable. The fact that the seats are not cramped together is also reassuring. The one thing I do notice is that the period a film is in theaters seems to be much shorter compared to pre-pandemic movie-going days. I understand the convenience of streaming, but when it’s released on streaming platforms there are very few theaters that will carry the film. You have to get yourself to a theater as soon as you find a movie you want to watch. I still love the movies though.
