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…
I liked the movie. I didn't expect super things from it. And you're right about ticket prices. It's crazy.
I 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.
I 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!
I 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.
