Anticipation for the Movies
One of the greatest things that comes with movies is the anticipation on feels before seeing it.
I love the whole excitement that builds up for movies like NARNIA or KING KONG: the previews, the reviews, the posters and *official movie guide* books. The critics all say it's the most spectacular movie ever made, and your friends are all buying tickets for a group night.
Then there is the climax of the wait when you actually walk into the theater. Somehow the neon lights and plush carpeting, mixed with the bustle of the concession stands and the smell of popcorn makes me think, "Wow...this is it. This is when I finally get to see the movie I've been counting the days to." Hopefully it will live up to the expectations.
Eventually your ticket stub is handed back to you, and you stand for an awkward moment at the back of the theater scanning for a seat. You push by the feet of irritated people, and settle down into your velvety seat, where you spend the next ten minutes trying to casually gain possession of your arm rests.
Then the lights dim. I love the feeling that evokes...good vibes. The previews roll, and finally you see the little 'turn off your cell phones' thing.
And it goes from there.
I love it. The next two hours are what you've been waiting for for the last month. That is one of the greatest feelings I've ever felt. That is one of the greatest factors of the whole "movie experience"
