In reply to the discussion: When was the last time you went to a movie theater? [View all]LanternWaste
(37,748 posts)42. Midway. So that was Jan or Feb, I think?
Hitting the movie theater is the one thing that's gotten me (on a micro, personal level) down about the pandemic. A friend of mine and I have (had) a tradition of hitting the movies once every month or six weeks, and then talking about it over stuffing our faces at one of the nearby taquerias. I love the big screen, movie theater experience, and it's the one thing that sticks in my craw about the roiling shut-downs.
And to top it off, Midway was the last one we saw together; of which, the only discussion we had about it was "...but at least it had ten or fifteen good minutes, so it wasn't a total waste."

Yep, I have no problem waiting for most movies to be available streaming or on disc.

I guess the only downside is finding out that Bruce Willis' character is a ghost...
