I went to the movies today for the first time since Nov 2019- Disappointing - Can't say I plan to [View all]

return anytime soon.

The last movie I saw at the movie theater before the pandemic was The Joker. Like many people, I have gotten used to streaming movies at home. Going to the movies today was, well underwhelming. I enjoyed spending time with my sister and niece. But the movie experience just did not seem the same. Unless its a big blockbuster movie like a Marvel movie, or a movie my niece wants to see so that we can spend time out of the house together, I don't think I will be an avid movie goer anymore.

Certainly did not miss the overpriced snacks either! I had to tell my sister and niece what happened when they went to the rest room. Staying home and streaming movies, I can pause the movie if I have to go the bathroom. LOL!

The movie was OK. Not great. We went to see Cruella. When I am streaming at home. I can switch to something else if I don't like that film. Its hard to just walk out of a movie you paid 10 bucks to see plus pricy snacks.
