I Am A Cinephile And Here's Why

Movies are the best.

I LOVE MOVIES. Sometimes I daydream about going home, getting into comfy clothes and streaming a good movie. Who doesn't love a good movie? When someone tells me that they don't watch movies for fun, I just look at them like they're crazy.

When I was little I grew up not having WiFi or cable. But, I did have a VCR and a DVD player, and of course, hundreds of movies. So what my brother and I would do is watch movies all the day. My mom was a huge movie goer so she would show us and take us to the movies all the time. Going to the movies was a treat for my family, and if we couldn't go we would rent movies from Blockbuster. Yes, our town still had a Blockbusters but up until 2018. We even had a Hollywood Video. Give a shout out if you know what I mean. My family and I watched so many movies that we could recite and quote them. It wasn't until 2017 that my mom finally got cable and internet with a stable subscription to Netflix. This opened so many doors!

Now, every weekend me and my boyfriend look forward to watching movies or going to the movie theatres. Watching movies or even TV shows is a great way to just relax apart from the real world. You see different perspectives and new viewpoints from directors and their art form. Movies have some of the best stories and quotes ever. There is something so captivating about a story. Movies bring out the binging animals in us, especially with TV shows.

Movies can make you cry, scared, anxious, excited, heartfelt- pretty much any emotion ever! Movies and film bring people together and make movements. The 2017 year had amazing movies and I still have yet to see all of them!

Don't think that I'm a hermit crab. I love going outdoors and spending time with people. But what is also great is watching a movie together and having whole conversation on that crazy ending!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
