Does anyone else enjoy going to the cinema?

I've really gotten into movies over the last month, watching a movie every single day. I've recently started going to the cinema and I've been really enjoying it. Last time, I built some courage and decided to go alone and it was great. Lately, I've started going to the cinema and I'm really enjoying it. I recently worked up the courage to go by myself, and it was a great experience. I'm usually not comfortable doing things alone, but I felt fine because it was dark and the audience was mostly older people (I tend to feel a bit uncomfortable around people my own age).

Do you like going to the cinema? What are your favorite movies and what is the last movie you've seen?

I do but unfortunetly i don't like close to one at all, last movie i watched was Smile 2, i thought it was amazing, i felt super immersed on the movie, it was just me and the movie basically so i could concentrate on it very well.

I used to. I've been too nervous to since covid. No sick pay when you work freelance. I tend to just wait for stuff to stream now. But, I have a large TV and sit fairly close to it- so, minus all the heads in the way, it can feel similar at times.

I love a good film though. Trying to think of the last film I saw at the cinema. Not sure really. The last one that stuck in my head was 'The Good Liar'. Clever film. Pretty disturbing though.

I remember, I really enjoyed 'The Nutcracker and the Four Realms'. I had worked really hard for maybe 80 or so days in a row. I had travelled somewhere to present the work and, I finally had a weekend free. So, I got a long overdue haircut and, went to see that.

My most ridiculous experience was as a child, being taken to see 'The Never Ending Story' by my Dad and Grandma. I was pretty naive and confused and asked my Dad whether it would actually go on forever. He, equally naively told me it would- the film was on a loop. When it ended, they would play it again. So then- I just felt dread that we would be in the cinema the rest of our lives. But then, I didn't think I'd survive in the world without them and I decided I did love them so, I went along with it. I don't remember enjoying the film though! It's funny how our minds work as children.

Of the films I've streamed recently- although- not all new films. The ones that have stayed with me or, I enjoyed were: 'Midsommar', the latest 'Naked Gun'- that did make me laugh in a few places and 'Heretic'. I've watched others but, I suppose the more disturbing ones are more memorable.

Do you have a favourite genre or cinema food? I tended to go alone quite a bit. Most of the time, it felt ok. I kind of can't believe the price though. So- that was beginning to put me off. Especially when I knew I'd likely end up buying it too.

Not sure anything would tempt me back into the cinema now. I was tempted with the last James Bond but, I waited it out. They seem to release stuff quicker now I find.

I like to watch a movie in a theater. However... I hate most movies. And I'm married and at the same time have no one to go with. She won't go, and that makes it kind of awkward, very much like being handcuffed. Wife won't go, can't find another woman to go with due to being married. If I were single again I might try to make dates with the ONLY expectation being to just see the movie and then go our separate ways. But seriously, I prefer to have no friends so my only choice would be to go alone which seems stupid for me. I did go alone once due to unusual circumstances and it was ok but I wouldn't do it again. Bad thing about being older man... people assume you're a creepy weirdo no matter what, thanks to all the older men who ARE creepy weirdos and make the rest of us suspicious.

I used to love to go to the cinema alone, that magic moment when the lights go out, it is still a much awe-inducing experience than watching at home. And being alone gives you a kind of introspection that puts you closer to the movie. Some people (not much actually) say that is weird but I suppose that for them going to the cinema is more a social event than actually going to see a movie you are interested in.

But lastly I don't go as much (last I remember was Oppenheimer, so quite some time ago) in part because of laziness and in part because I moved from the big city to a smaller town and here is harder to find the kind of movies I would be interested in, mainly classic films and the like that I love to watch them the way they were intended to be watched. New movies, I'm mostly ok watching them at home.
