Going to the Movies or Not?

            Why people should or shouldn’t go to the movies? Everyone gets really bored every once in a while and usually a solution to this problem is why don’t we go to the movies and go check out a movie that looks not half bad? Well, there (in my opinion) are some good reasons to go see movies and some really bad reasons as to why you shouldn’t see movies.

            The first reason I have is that if it’s nice outside, seeing a movie is probably not the best choice. Since movies take place indoors you shouldn’t waste the beautiful day by spending it inside watching a movie, go play sports, go for a walk, or honestly do anything, but waste the beautiful day spending it by watching a movie inside the theaters. Now there is exceptions to this rule like if there’s an outdoor theater then it’s okay to go watch a movie because you’re outside. One reason that you should go to a movie in regards to the weather as well is if it’s raining, no one likes the rain and unless you want to go dance outside in the rain (which I actually love to do…) then seeing a movie is probably the best choice if you want to get out of the house and actually DO something, but keep in mind there is so much more to do then just see a movie. Oh, and of course it’s during the winter, no one ever wants to actually do anything we like to store our fat, or you know just don’t want to do anything in the cold. But usually, people can never think of what to do, (especially in Iowa), but you just have to be creative and not always go with doing the boring things.

            Another reason to not go to the movies is that it’s pricey. I mean considering a ticket is about $9 and once the movie comes out on DVD you can buy it for like the same price. Also the food there is not even worth it, add all this together for going to the movie and you end up spending too much on just wanting to see a movie. So if you want to see a movie I’d do it maybe every once in a while like once a month or something (besides there is other activities besides seeing a movie.) In contradiction to that, maybe you just love seeing a movie with people surrounding you, I for one seem to laugh more when I’m at the theaters since I feel awkward laughing at home by myself. Besides it might be a movie you really want to see; which then it’s okay to go see a movie in theaters.

            I also think that it's really weird when people go to the movies together. I mean I know no one wants to go to the movies by yourself, but think about it, whenever you go to a movie with a friend you just awkwardly watch a screen together because it's not like you can talk during the movie for the people around you will probably end up shhing you. But as for going to the movie on a date it's a bit weird unless you don't think being quiet is awkward at all. So just overall think of other activities to do besides a movie.

          But overall sometimes going to the movie is a good idea while other times you should just get off your lazy butt and do something besides watching a movie, even if it’s walking in a circle at the park. But all depends on the situation, and seeing a movie at night is always a best bet since there’s not much you can do at night besides partying….So yeah, movie might be your best bet.
