Going to the cinema more often was one of my aims for 2023, starting from a base of rarely going at all made it easy to hit my target. For some reason an average of once a month seemed reasonable to me, and last night we exceeded that target.
Surprisingly, not drinking has made this much easier, when we're away there's only so many evenings I want to spend in the pub - unless there's live music on offer. So each time we're away, and often when we're not, we spend one evening at the cinema. Here's what we've seen this year
A couple of National Theatre Live - Good, who doesn't love David Tennant? Best of Enemies with David Harewood. Some art - Vermeer: The Greatest Exhibition (currently available to stream on itvx), Van Gogh Sunflowers, Klimt and The Kiss, and Tokyo Stories. We also attended the International Film Festival at one of our local cinemas.
In terms of general films we saw Asteroid City, Barbie (of course), The Creator, Stop Making Sense - we saw this twice because Talking Heads were amazing. After all this viewing last night was the first visit this year to the cinema in town, where we saw Wonka, tonight we're rounding of the year by seeing Next Goal Wins.
From zero to fourteen, I'm happy with that.
I've not been to the cinema in a long time. I should make the effort and go to our local independent cinema sometime, especially as they do a £5 Monday night special.
ReplyDeleteMy local cinema is £5 too, so there's no reason to not go more often.
