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 movies are a great way to pass some time and escape reality for a couple of hours. People like movies for all sorts of different reasons. Movies usually come out each week on Friday night and on average three to four movies come out a week. That comes out to over two hundred movies a year and that is just mainstream film. One of the decisions people have to make is what movies to watch. The paper will discuss what the writer likes to watch, what he finds enjoyable, and what he does not. There is also the choice to watch in the theater or rent and watch at home. The first choice is more immersive and on a bigger screen while the second choice is less expensive and more intimate.…

    I have been enjoying going to the movies for over 20 and have never stopped loving the experience. I even remember the name of my first movie “The Land Before Time.” It was about a baby dinosaur that had lost his mother and had to make a great journey to the Great Valley to find his grandparents. In the end he does find them, after a great adventure with friends. I have always love movies that have a happy ending and also a little adventure. Another story that I read that had a happy ending was an essay called “Going to the Movies” by Susan Allen Toth 1980. In this essay she writes about what type of experiences she has with four different friends when she goes to the movies with them. Also, another essay I have read recently is called “A Century of Cinema” 1995…

    Movie theaters can be a fun thing to do with friends and family, but staying home and watching a movie can be just as great. Americans last year spent an average of $9.87 billion on tickets alone. Americans who stayed home saved a lot of money, were more comfortable, and probably had just as good of a time.…

    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…

    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.…

    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.…
