let’s go to the moOOOoovies! let’s go see the staAAaars!

so i was talking to jesse yesterday about the movie i was fixin to go see. he responds by saying, it's not a "theatre movie". and that was when it really sank in, some people just don't know what's good for them.

don't get my wrong, i love my netflix, but when i see a movie on dvd, good or bad, it always feels like settling.

for me going to the movies is always better. you have the popped corn with real butter (if you know where to go) and the ungodly amount of soda pop. you have the dark theatre to hold hands during the scary bits of scary movies. or to keep people from noticing when the pop goes flying out your nose during funny bits of funny movies.

and then there is the whole pack animal element. it's great to be in a room filled with laughter and to really laugh. a chortle is always better than a chuckle. and thrillers so thrilling you can feel the electricity generated by your neighbors, even the one that stepped on y'r toe on his 3rd trip to the bathroom. and there's that euphoria that causes everyone to break out in applause when the good guy wins or anytime christopher walken pops up on screen.

and even at bad movies, like spiderman 3, when you see people get up and walk out. amen! you think, but you stay. wanting to say that you survived the pain and are somehow better than them for it.

what it comes down to is, being at the movies is one of the few times when i really, fully enjoy being around people. the rest of the time get the fuck away from me.
