Movies

I miss it so much. It sounds pathetic I know, but it has been months since I have gone to see a movie at the movie theater. However, it has always been a tradition between my father and I. We are the only ones that jumped at the chance to see a movie in the theater. I think this is where my passion to write my Senior paper on movies comes from. For so long all I have done with my life has gone to the movies. I mean that is an exaggeration of course because I have gone other places too. It just seems that I have spent my life glued to a big wide screen in a theater with popcorn and soda and other movie fans. Right now I am feeling like an addict. I have to get to a movie theater soon or I will go insane. I did go over the summer and saw movies such as The Proposal, Wolverine, and Julie & Julia. Julie & Julia was my favorite. I even bought the soundtrack on my itunes. No wonder Meryl Streep has been nominated so many times for an Academy Award. I do not have a favorite movie, but I love romantic comedies and cannot stand torture movies. I am planning to write my Senior paper on romantic comedies. If only everyone in Lynchburg didn't go to the movies during Thanksgiving, I would go. That's the one thing that I try to avoid as much as possible. I try to avoid going to see a movie, especially if it is a popular movie, within the first few weeks it comes out. If it is not that popular then it doesn't matter. I am speaking of Twilight's New Moon. I want to see why this movie is getting all this attention from teenagers and adults alike. However, it just came out and considering people have a break this week, there is no way I'm getting to that theater. It doesn't help that the theater it is in is the new theater. I have not been to the new theater in our mall and everyone has been telling me how comfortable the seats are. The old one was so uncomfortable that I avoided that theater at all costs. So hopefully soon I will be back to where I feel I belong. It's one thing renting a DVD. That is what I have had to resort to in the past months. It is another to see it on the big screen. It is not the same effect. You are more drawn to the story, the characters, the music, pretty much anything in the movie because you are surrounded by other that feel the exact same way you do. I am not trying to convince you that you should go to the movie theater or that it is the best thing in the world. I have been hearing lately of people going the movie theater and there have constantly been previews of movies on television and it makes me long to go. Don't know what I would go see though even though I have suggested one film I would like to see. Sigh....
