Cinema Habit
I used to be a regular cinema-goer, in fact I think Ciaran and I were probably two of the last people to go to the cinema in Ireland before Covid. We went to the cinema back in March 2020 on a Tuesday evening. We were among a "crowd" of 5 people at this screening and by Thursday all cinemas were closed as Ireland went in to the first months long lock down.
Since this time I have not visited the cinema and I really am not inclined to at this time. The thoughts of sitting in a movie theatre, sharing a space for about two hours with strangers. No, not for me, at this time.
The reason I am writing this particular blog, is that this evening at my Spanish class my Spanish teacher was asking us lots of different questions in order to get us conversing and practising the language. One of the questions she asked me was do I prefer to go to the cinema or watch films as home. It was an interesting question and it sure got me thinking. And so in my pigeon Spanish, I basically answered something like "Before Covid I really enjoyed going to the cinema but now I prefer to watch films at home, but maybe I will go to the cinema again when the pandemic is over".
When will I return....
However I just saw a trailer for a movie that actually made me feel a little urge to make a plan to go see it in the cinema!
Check this out. It's the new Lady Gaga movie "House of Gucci".......I can't wait!
The Stella Ranelagh
Hopefully it will be shown in The Stella Ranelagh which is a small boutique 40 seater movie theatre in The Devlin Hotel which is around the corner from where we live. They have prosecco on tap in this cinema so we will make a night of it!
Fingers crossed it come to this cinema.
