So I thought I'd do a bit of a different post today. I was kind of going to do a full "Oscars Week" Theme because I was excited to do a recap... but to be honest... I haven't seen any of the movies besides Get Out and I just don't think I'm that excited about those ideas and I'm only writing what I'm really passionate about right now... so as much as I do want to see all the nominated films because they do look excellent... I'm not sure how much better this blog will be if I mention that.
That being said- let's talk about something I love and I think I've loved even more recently: Going to the movies! I know- I always complain that I don't go to the movies a lot because it is expensive, it's cold and flu season right now... I don't really have any friends that like going to the movies that much... it just isn't something that happens regularly for me... and I'm okay with that... but I'm going to say it is kind of magical whenever it does happen.
One thing I love about it is that it creates a sort of community with your fellow movie-goers. Maybe you don't know anyone else in the theater... but somehow you're connected. You both decided "Ohhh hey I'm free at this time. I saw commercials for this and it looks really good... I'm going to see it" at the same time. Maybe you have nothing else in common other than that you happened to see that same particular movie at the same time... or maybe you have a lot in common... and that is why you have the same exact taste in movies! It just kind of unites you... at least for a little while.
It's also fun to go with people that you actually do know... cause that can kind of bring you closer too. How many times have you seen a movie with someone and then discussed it after? Or you liked a movie so much, you recommended it to someone else and they liked it a lot too. Maybe someone you know is having a hard time- and it's just good to see them laugh and enjoy themselves together. It's just a nice way to bond with someone.
I also kind of like being in the bigger community of people that have seen it in theaters, or on opening weekend. When The Hangover came out... I don't think there was much hype about it. Bradley Cooper was relatively unknown. Zach Galifinakis was a standup comedian- that I had seen live- but I don't think people knew just how funny he was. Ed Helms was someone everyone loved on The Office, so he was kind of on the verge of stardom with this... but I don't think anyone expected it to be the classic movie that it was. It came out right before I finished Junior Year of High School and everyone was signing quotes with "there's a tiger in the bathroom!" Or at least my friend that I saw it with and I were... idk if everyone else saw it that early... so I was even a little ahead of the game. And that was really pretty cool.
So... yeah. Going to the movies is special! What's the best movie you guys have seen in theaters? Let me know!
Byeee!
