I love a good
movie.
Honestly, who
doesn’t? Taylor and I went and saw From
Up on Poppy Hill this last weekend at the Esquire, a place introduced to me
by my friend, Victoria. There is something wonderful about sitting and watching
a really good film with people you love. And
there is truly something special about seeing a movie in a theater like the
Esquire, which is both majestic and strangely empty.
I’ve talked
before about how I have really good taste in movies (I do.) But I also just
love the feeling of being in a theater. Sometimes it isn’t even about what
movie is playing, it’s just about the feeling of being in a movie theater and
getting to set aside time to focus on a story. When I watch TV and movies at
home, I feel like I always have to be doing something while I watch; sewing,
knitting, writing, drawing. But at the
theater, it’s just me and the movie.
My mum and I
have a special passion for going to children’s movies on Sunday for five
dollars. We see all the new Disney and Dreamworks movies that way. Even though
I’m way too old for her to use as an excuse for seeing movies intended for
children, we still go and have a lot of fun.
It’s not just
about the film for me, it’s about the place I see it and the people I share it
with.
Challenge to
my Readers:
Every town
has an old theater house or an indie theater house. Take a risk and visit your
local low-key, off beat theater to see a film that is truly unique and
interesting.
