There hasn't been anything compelling us to return to the movies.

But like you I haven't been interested in seeing many movies in recent years. I saw A COMPLETE UNKNOWN.

Maybe I'll see the Springsteen movie. I love the Boss, but I'm waiting to hear more about the movie.

A Complete Unknown is the last movie that my wife and I went to see on the big screen. It was worth it.

It was the first time I'd been to a movie theater since I can't remember when. It didn't seem long to me but it did feel different being not in PJs and in a big room with other people and no pause or rewind if I'd missed something.

A friend and I have decided to do it again when something comes along we want to see and don't want to wait for it to come to a streaming service. (Something worth getting dressed for )

We likes us our interactive DU, podcasts, 20 minutes-tops YouTubes - and this is not a criticism.
