RE: Market Friday Goes to the Movies
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Until Covid, I bought a theater pass that allowed you to go as many times a month as you wanted for $10 a month. This covered only one theater. If you wanted an unlimited one that covered 200 to 400 different theaters, it was $18 a month, so that was doable. Of course, at the prices of the IMAX there, I would go totally broke. I hope they don't go bankrupt, although I cannot see how they are still in business. Ours is not even open.
I haven't been to one in forever, but, just looking at your post makes me want to go again. I guess I didn't know I would miss it... and PS... my media room is not like their theater.
Thank you for being part of #MarketFriday and your shoutout!
#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through by their markets, especially local markets and farmers markets and eventually branching out and evolving over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact of what is these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.

Hi Denise, yep I think covid changed almost everything. We used to go to the cinema quite regularly pre covid but that all went out of the window with the lockdowns.
We do have a huge TV at home and it's OK but for some movies the cinema is the only place to see them at their full potential.
This 4dx IMAX is like being on a ride at a theme park. It was pretty cool but after 10 minutes of being tossed around the novelty wore off lol
I spent a lot of the movie laughing at the way we were being thrown around and rained on. It was fun but don't think I'd do it again?
We do have those yearly movie passes here but they are more expensive than $10 a month.
To get value for money we'd have to see 3-4 movies a month! 💲💰😂👍
The only place I have seen those 4dx IMAXX is at Disney and a couple of other Amusement Parks, not something I would pay for on a regular basis. I got wet and jostled and it was fun, but, for only about 10 minutes. So sure, amusing, but, not for that long!
The movie passes are fairly inexpensive, but, I don't go to the movies a lot, as we have a media room with a big screen that usually satisfies me. But, totally agree, it will never take the place of the theater. Even though I don't go much, and even never now, I still like it. :)
