Sep. 5th, 2020 09:37 pmI have been to the cinema three times now - three different cinemas, in fact.
I went to see Proxima at the Cameo. (Four other people in there, three of whom were fully masked. I was at least three metres away from everyone.) ( Proxima. )
I went to see The Lehman Trilogy at the Vue. (Everyone I saw wearing masks, larger cinema than the others but much less than 30% full. Because of distancing they have opened up the VIP seats to normal seating so I sat there - much less comfortable than a normal seat. Also because they had SO MANY adverts the three and a half hour performance ended at nearly half eleven, instead of ten-ish as I had estimated.) ( Lehman Trilogy. )
Today I went to the Filmhouse to see Parasite, in the black and white edition. I would probably have waited for the original colour version, but I didn't know it was going to be back in the cinema until after I bought this ticket. I had had the opportunity to see it in Sittwe but a) I was tired that evening and b) it would have been in the company of someone I have cast as my nemesis, so stayed in my room grumpily instead of joining the throng in the living room. (Only three of us in the cinema, they turned the lights up after the trailers so someone could come and stare us directly in the eye to ask us to wear masks, and the seats we sat in had removable covers.) ( Parasite. )
My critical faculties are not very good. The films are very good. I like being out of the house, and seeing things when I can't also be distracted on my phone. At home I am mostly rewatching Rake while playing Hexonia which isn't even very good.
