A regular movie watcher in theatres during weekend..

It’s been quite a while I haven’t published posts to my blog page. Rather I was thinking of some generic topics which can come and strike my mind. But it didn’t happen for sometime. Recently many of my friends commented on one of my habit which I will never ever forget to do during every weekend, what’s that?? It’s none other than watching movies in theatres. I am not so crazy about movies to be honest. At the same time I will not miss even a single weekend (on Sunday’s) to go to a theatre. I am just thinking for sometime why I am like this?? Can I spend the weekend without visiting a theatre?? Lot of questions does come to mind when I think about it.

I watch Tamil ones, the English ones and sometimes the Hindi ones too. I am not able to speak Hindi fluently, but I can try to speak and at the same time I can very well understand Hindi. This gives me an option to watch some Hindi movies too. When I meet my colleagues on Monday or when I meet some of my friends outside, the 2 questions what they used to ask me are,

What was the movie you watched last weekend??
How was it??

I think they take it by default that would have been for a movie. My reply to them also for their 1st question will be always ‘Yes’ and for the 2nd question I generally give a positive feedback about the movie. But unfortunately every time when my friends/colleagues go for that movie the next weekend, they will come back to me saying that movie is not so good or up to the mark. But when I come out of the theatre most of the times I felt the movie was ok for 3 hrs of time pass. But later I understood that my friends have gone to see a different type of a movie. This made me to identify the difference between why I go for a movie and why they go for it? My motto is to spend some 3 hrs of time outside my home at least on Sundays’. Sometimes I prefer beach for a change. I am not interested in doing a shopping/ window shopping at some big shopping malls. The real reason is generally my month-end starts at 15th of every month. So I would prefer to avoid shopping. Window shopping will tempt me to purchase something and I will end up with purchasing them by a just swiping my credit card. These dumped card payment dues will bring down my next month’s month-end from 15th to 10th. So I skip this option and I ended up with a last option of going out for a movie. It’s always nice to see some good English movies and high budget Tamil/Hindi movies in theatres. Basically you will get a good effect and feel of that movie. That’s one reason I prefer this option. But some times I ended up with going to theatre to watch a dumb movie. Recently I tried to escape from one of the theatre during interval, as that Tamil movie was so horrible to watch from the beginning. But fate, my escape attempt was unsuccessful as the theatre gate was closed and no one was standing nearby to open the gate. So I left helpless to watch the second part of that too. That weekend was undoubtedly spoiled because of that movie.


Finally I have made up my mind to stay away from taking these types of risks very frequently. May be once in 2 months I can take this risk but not very often. Nowadays (from last weekend), I have started reading some movie reviews on websites and started asking my friends about the movies what they have seen and how was it?? If I get a favorable answer then only I am planning to go for it. It’s enough of spending money on watching those useless movies. Thanks to my good friends who had helped me in changing this habit of mine.
