Mystic369's blog: "A View from the Shadows..."

Now I have been asked why I go to the Movies and paying the money associated with it instead of waiting for it to trickle down to the delivery systems of DVD and Streaming sources. This will be a small attempt of trying to explain to those that ask that. Well... First of all it's a way for me to escape the monotony of crapitude that seems to happen on a daily basis. It does seem like a whole lot of dung has started to pile up lately but I notice that when I'm at the movies, it all seems better for the short time that I'm there. No stresses from work, no stresases from not being able to be more sociable, just the celluloid stories and a Large Soft Drink (with Free Refill) and sometimes a Popcorn if I could afford it. Movies at the theater has been and always will be something that I just like to experience. Second, it used to be a social outlet for me, friends would get together and see the late showing at the neighborhood budget house and afterwards we'd be all jazzed up on the movie and carry on to a late night diner to talk about it among other things. Those two reasons should be plenty... Escape and cameraderie are things that those in the snooty upper-crust don't want us to have, unless it's to distract us from their crooked skullduggery... Sorry... getting a little off track. I feel sort of connected with all of the strangers there by a shared experience of the movie as well.
