The magic of the movies has gotten lost since all the movies started being released on streaming services.
Gone are the days of checking when the movie you really wanted to watch is being released. The build-up of anticipation.
The planning of making a night out of it. Who, if anyone, will be watching it with you? Dinner first or movie first? The popcorn, the Coke, the trailers.
All of the building up to the opening scene you’ve been waiting for.
Now, inevitable, we watch it while sitting on our couches. Now there is no more ceremony involved that watching a TV show.
Sometimes I miss the old days. The pre-streaming days.
It was inconvenient, but sometimes delightfully so.
