Planning to Spend a Beautiful Saturday Afternoon
Compare and Contrast
Staying in to watch a movie vs. going out to watch one It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, the sun was shining, the flowers were blooming, and me my boyfriend were in the house debating on whether we were going to go out to watch a movie or if we were going to stay in the house and watch the movie. I wanted to go out because it was a beautiful day and we had already stayed in the house all week and he wanted to stay in the house to save some money because financially we were not where we wanted to be at the moment. Some of the benefits to going out to watch the movie are:
• Being able to go out for the experience.
• The movie is twice as better in the theatre.
• There is more excitement when watching the movie in the theatre.
• Building memories. I am the type of person, where I like to go out for the experience and building memories. Life keeps moving every second, memories and pictures are all we have to remember the past experiences. What we done in the past and who we did it with. So building memories and taking a lot of pictures is what I like to do. I also like watching movies in the theatre because it seems twice as better. The picture is better and bigger, there are more and better surround sounds. Mainly, there are no distractions in the theatre, especially if you have a lot of people living with you in your house. The kids can also be a main distraction too. Plus going out about once a week keeps a person sane rather than staying in the house all the time. That can drive a person crazy. Some benefits to staying home and watching the movie are:
• Saving money because it’s about 10-15 dollars per person.
• Saving money on buying the popcorn and snacks.
• Being able to snuggle while watching the movie. My boyfriend is the money management type of person. He feels that we should not spend money on something unless it was needed and necessary. He feels we should stay in and watch movies

    The younger me loved to be active and constantly moving around but as i grew up I started to enjoy times that were quiet as well. The few activites i liked to do and still do now is play soccer, go bowling, read, and going for bike rides. As a little kid and teenager, my cousins and I use to do a bowling day which was very intense since we are all competitive. I never and still don`t ever win because I suck at bowling but it's always a fun day seeing some of my cousins for some friendly composition and to see who will hold bragging rights. Also, when i was a kid my mom and I use to go for bike rides on the trail into erin to get ice cream from baileys ice cream shop. I it was always worse biking back rather than there because I always thought about the ice cream but on the way back there was no ice cream to look forward to.…

    Watching a film on TV is better than watching in theaters this how I’m going to prove my comparisons. It's annoying when you hear from friends what happens in the movie and it ruins the whole thing. It just isn't the same! It depends on, how good your surround system is and how big your TV is, and economic hardships today. It does not mean that the enjoyment of watching movies needs to be sacrificed. There is something to be said for big screen viewing; however, the home provides a comfortable, intimate, and common place for families to enjoy classic or newly released movies. Choosing to watch a movie at home is comfortable, inexpensive among all ages. Watching a movie at home is convenient and cost less instead of going to the theater and spending as much money.…

    I, personally, hate going to the movies. The prices are always more expensive every time I go. When I was in middle school I could go for around 8$, and now it’s more in the 15-20 dollar range. All to sit in a theater for 2ish hours and stare silently at a screen, something I could easily (and would prefer to) do at home. The only time I have gone to movies in the past few years are with family and friends, as a group activity. The cultural idea of seeing a movie is so culturally ingrained that people actually will spend 20$ on a movie ticket . Movie theaters are probably one of the few remaining “push” innovations, along with magazines and newspapers. You have to show up at a certain time, to a certain selection of movies, and pay by the movie. Movies are highly advertised (although I am told that LA had way more movie advertising than other US cities, which I had never really noticed since I’ve lived here my whole life) and an extremely money-based business. The movies produced by big names and companies are so different from independently made movies, especially in artisitc value. The movie industry is so highly commercialized that maybe we balance it out by seeing the films in something as old-fashioned as a theater. Seeing the movie in a theater also allows you to be one of the first to watch it (except for…

    It was a beautiful Sunday morning, clear blue sky and the sun shining as bright as it could. I was up early getting ready to head to the shop, where I make a living as a mechanic. My girlfriend Grissel was in the kitchen making me breakfast so I could start my day on a good note. I knew it was going to be a good day when the house was filled with the smell of my favorite crispy bacon, scrambled eggs and fresh coffee brewing. After we were done eating I gathered my tools, gave her a peck on the lips and headed out to start my day.…

    I had been dating Antonio for two months when he asked me to go away with him in a few months to meet some of his family in California. I told him yes right away, but inside I was not sure if this was a mistake. As time went on and our relationship grew, I began to feel going away was not going to be a mistake at all. We had been dating for about five months when we left for our first trip together to California. One day Antonio surprised me with a date on one of his favorite beach locations. I was so excited to see this special beach that Antonio had told me all about. Antonio and I both love the beach, so I couldn’t have been happier to go.…

    As for me, when I’m tired of boring study and work, I just want to join a night club. A night club with dreamy lights, loud music, dancing people and young band can bring me to a different world in which no one knows who I am. Not caring about how others think of me, I just dance, enjoy the music and cheer passionately for the lead singer. After the binge is over, nothing can be more enjoyable than taking a shower and falling in deep sleep.…

    Down the street from my house, where you can see the sun finally coming up for a bright autumn day, sits an old wooden park bench. As I made my way down there I started thinking about how great it was going to be to enjoy being outside on such a nice day. I could not wait to just sit and observe the many people who will be in that same park, under the same beautiful trees, and under the same bright sun. It had been a while since I had just sat alone and watched the world around me go by and I was really looking forward to a quiet, peaceful day at the park.…

    Most of us do not feel happy when there is nothing to do. Those who are able to enjoy what they do and those who are able to do what they enjoy are indeed very lucky. But even these people need a change. A person who is doing an office job or busy with books welcomes a walk in the evening, half an hour in the garden, a drink with a friend. And a person who has been working in a factory or in a field would definitely enjoy a visit to a restaurant, an hour to go through the newspaper. watch television. It is not only the nature of one's work which conditions one's choice of recreative activity; intellectual and cultural development is also an important factor.…
