C for cinema
I am a bargain hunter and who is not, so no wonder I signed for the Unlimited cinema card with Cineworld (I believe you have heard the name of the cinema, there are quiet few of them around in London). I can go anytime, anywhere and the number of movies I can watch is unlimited which is a heaven to me as I am addicted to movies. And here we talk about the experience on the big screen, the sound system. Nothing can beat the atmosphere even the fact that you don't have enough leg room, or someone behind can't stop chatting (which annoys me to bits, go to the cafe or something if you fancy a chat), or the worst thing for me when I saw a mouse in the screen, to make things clear, I am petrified of mice, you can only imagine how I felt seeing it running from one row to another, this was the most intense movie (not like it was thriller but the emotions overwhelming me of seeing "the beast"). I can watch anything: you will find all weird DVDs at my place as it is a mix of different genres. The last movie I have seen (which was yesterday to be exact) is "Easy A" which was funny and entertaining. I am not a huge fan of those teenage-school-college flicks but I always know I will have some situations when I am going to cry, have a lough and giggle about the silly jokes like a little girl. I loved mother's character, need to check who played her, but her lines were hideous. Not to forget the chats between the dad and adopted little black brother. Wicked sense of humor (I liked it and it made me laugh loud which doesn't happen a lot, I mean I laugh and a lot, but not in the cinema when I am on my own and loud which can attract attention, I guess I am a bit self conscious about that). I have to make a confession. I always thought that people who go to the cinema on their own are weather freaks (I guess this also applies for those trying to date online. Another confession, I have done it too, so does it make me a freak? Hmmm...) or don't have friends (something which is not in my vocabulary as I do have them and quiet a few, and I am not talking about more than 500 of them on Facebook). I never been to the cinema on my own before I moved to London, it was something uncool and even if you go with someone and as soon as the lights are off you only concentrating on screen, the feeling that someone is with you that counts: you know that you will discuss the movie when it ends, can ask some question if you didn't get what the character said. Now, I am the one of those "freaks" who go on my own (well most of my friends have normal jobs, so they do normal hours which doesn't go well with my spare time as I might have a morning off and work in the afternoon or vice verse). I only go to the morning showings as they are not full, you don't feel so bad coming alone as there are plenty people like you who just pop in to enjoy the movie. Last time I counted how many people were on their own and how many were in couples or more. Surprise surprise, but the morning shows are the hit with single ones (I guess this is fair enough, as the guy will ask someone on the date after a movie, this is when the screens are full of loved up couples who are smooching in last rows). I am off to see something today, not so sure what but as long as something new is on, I am ready for it, bring it on.
