I saw many bad movies in college because there would be free preview screenings on campus.
One such was While You Were Sleeping. I eventually found it insufferable and left.
As far as movies I paid to see, I would have liked to walk out of Secrets & Lies and Baby Driver but was with people whom I thought might have been enjoying them.

I went to see much-recommended Nosferatu today. The ticket taker told me theater 8, just like she told the people ahead of me, so that’s where I went. I sit in my seat H4 and before the show someone sits in H5. Im wondering why this person bought the seat next to me. Then someone sits in H3 and I’m thinking maybe we all bought tix at the same time. Then all the previews are horror movies. Then finally the movie starts on a sunny day in LA where a diner waitress is getting off the night shift and I’m thinking this is interesting! And then the title comes up One of Them Days and I feel silly for wondering about these people on either side of me. I stayed and watched and it’s a fun movie!

The Phantom Menace isn’t the worst movie in the world but man, I really enjoyed being 1 of 9 in a theater; have my phone go off during what would be a pivotal scene if i were 15 again. probably will never watch it again, but it was worth my $18. atleast I got discounted candy !

Last Monday I took a day off work (paid!) to go to the cinema with my friend and watch three films all in one go - A Complete Unknown, Babygirl and Nosferatu. We went out for coffees and dinner between films, but it was fun to make an outing of it while catching up on the newest films. Try and space out the screenings strategically so you don’t end up spending 12 hours out and about like we did.

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists.
The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished.
People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.

I’m 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadn’t blossomed yet. I’m a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. I’m good at conversing with strangers. I’m usually the oldest person at the show but don’t feel like it. I’m good at being helpful. I’m sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. I’m a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. I’m a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I don’t use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. ✌️💛
