Movies

Ever since I was a kid I can remember in school the teacher bringing in the 8mm projector. I would get excited about what we might see a cartoon, a documentary it didn't really matter it was a film a moment to set out of the classroom and into our minds.

Then there was the drive-in movies a night watching the movie from the back of the station-wagon my dad would park it with the back to the screen where us kids can lay in the back and the parents can sit in the folding chars.

Years later the drive-in turned into a multiplex theater. Where during the summer when off of school I would go there and for $2 for the movie I intended to see as I would wait for the movie I would hop from theater to theater and see parts of other movies.

Today I am not able to do that today don't have the time or patents for it. I don't know if it is because I am older or just have more appreciation for the movies in general. So much has changed now these multiplex have become more of amusement park with the video games to was time and to numb you brain to the big budget reboot (because Hollywood can't think of any thing new).
The food has changed too. There is more of it and things I would not associate with movies unless I was at home. I stick to the basic movie food popcorn, candy and a soda. But even with these basics I had to change my movie routine. I no longer get the butter flavoring witch I think is really some kind petroleum lubricant.  Even with that I might have to stop with the popcorn all together who know what they put on it to pop it. Even now after getting back from a movie I still feel gas after my day of other meals came out of me in liquid form.

Lets not get started on the prices...

But all in all I like the movies.
