Well, another big weekend at the box office and I can say I haven't been near a theatre this year. It was not intentional. Life just got in the way of me going to the movies.

Barbie is still on my watch list and now I guess I must add Taylor Swift. I do enjoy going to the theatre to see a movie I am truly a big screen fan. I would miss it if all the theatres closed.

As much as I love going to the bigger theatres like the New Paltz Cinemas in New Platz with heated seats and real butter on my popcorn my real joy is seeing a film in a small venue. I do like the occasional drive-in but the community lawn showing has always been more my thing.
