It was never about the popcorn
This sounds like something I would tell my children. Back in the day I used to go to the cinema. Not for the popcorn. I like to watch movies. Mind you, the TV only had two channels which meant that the cinema was a good way to be distracted on an evening. Anyhow I haven’t done much of that is last while. I can still handle sitting and watching something for 90 minutes. Proof he said I watched a documentary today, for that amount of time about the changes in the business of cinema today. And then I started to think about when was the last time I actually went to a movie. This is not a reason but it took me 24 hours on a boat to get there. And in the movie that Potter kid was married with children. Do you get a time frame yet. Over the last decade I have not gone to the cinema a single time. But our culture depends upon us knowing about what is in the theatre and what people are saying about it. Even I have heard about Barbie. There have been a lot of great movies during my lifetime and no, I am not going to start listing. I think the first one involved a shaggy dog which should give me the credit for how many years I’ve been doing this. No, we are now a TV family and even there I watch fewer movies than before. Eyesight. But as I said this is a cultural thing and it is important to know what is going on on the big screen. I think they’ve stopped making those Potter movies and I have never seen anything involving a Spiderman. I am glad that I watched the documentary about cinema. It will give me talking points the next time the subject comes up. And I will not have to admit that I never went for the popcorn to anyone else. As for watching videos we no longer own a VCR, a relic from a past age.
