One thing I have not been doing a lot of lately is going out to the movies, something I decided to do yesterday afternoon on Tuesday bargain day. One reason is that not too many movies have come out that I have been interested in seeing. Also, movies released recently don't seem to get a lot of hype. Well, except two lately. One of course, is the Michael Jackson biopic, which I don't think I'll be seeing. Another is The Devil Wears Prada 2, which I decided to see yesterday.
I had seen the original 20 years ago, but did not read the book until years later. And I did not know that the book had a sequel. Now I'll have to read that one. I also have the original movie on DVD, and was thinking of rewatching it, but never got around to that. I was bored yesterday and needed to get out. I just had to see the movie now and not have to wait until it was on streaming. One thing I miss about getting DVDs is getting to see the movie right away. Most streaming services charge to watch a movie when it's first released on the service, and it can be a long time before the movie can be seen free. I did not want to wait for that to happen.
I now wonder when I'll ever get out to see a movie again. Ticket prices are one thing keeping me away, exactly why I chose to go on a bargain day. And i have not heard of many upcoming films that seem to interest me. Movies don't seem to get the same hype as they used to.
And on a side note, I came across this about a week ago. Sounds about right!
Did you enjoy the movie? I was a bit disappointed. To me, it wasn’t nearly as good as the first one…
ReplyDeleteI liked the movie. I didn't expect super things from it. And you're right about ticket prices. It's crazy.
ReplyDeleteI had read the book back in the day, infact it is on my book shelf. But never loved the movie so haven't any desire to see this one.
ReplyDeleteI miss going to movies. All that comes out are comic book movies. I'm an adult I don't wish to see spiderman, or batman, or any other marvel or dc comic book character. I want good old fashion movies with a plot and dialogue of people, not space ships or aliens either. I guess this just means I'm old huh?
Love the Devil Wears Depends. Great one!
I haven't been to a cinema since Covid. I only watch movies on streaming services now. The older I get, the less I feel any urgent need to see a movie in the theatre as soon as it's released. Guess I'm turning into an old curmudgeon!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been tempted to the movies in a while. Nothing has caught my interest. But Practical Magic 2 is coming out this summer. That one might get me in a theater.
ReplyDeleteI go to the movie theater rarely. I'm usually not interested enough in seeing what's playing for how much it costs. But I'd like to go occasionally for the movie theater experience. I am interested in the new Devil Wears Prada movie and recently watched the first one again on TV.
ReplyDelete"The Devil Wears Depends."
ReplyDeleteI don't care who you are, that's funny.
Personally, I'm looking forward to the day when geriatric disasters are no longer president. I'm not even 68 yet and I want to do nothing more than volunteer somewhere. Or blog.
