5 Reasons You Should Head To A Movie Theater Instead Of Watching Netflix In Your Room

If I don't know anywhere else to go to, in order to spend time with my family and friends, the movie theater is always my first choice.

Despite the general amount of money that one needs to spend in a movie theater, the movie theater is actually a nice way to spend your time. Here are five reasons why:

1. You can watch your film on a big screen

The film that you are anticipating to watch will be finally shown on a big screen and loud audio right in front of you. From the big screen, it provides enough screen time for you to only focus on watching that film. The loud audio also helps you hear everything on what is happening in the film. Also, when waiting for your film to be viewed on the big screen, one can see commercials and trailers on the big screen. You get to see the upcoming films and get even more excited for those when they come to the big screen in movie theaters!

2. There's no one to interrupt you

The movie theater always respects their viewers and audience during a film screening. They want all cell phones silent or shut off. This way, the viewer will not be distracted nor interrupted when watching the film. This is also a perfect time to be only focusing on something else than one's concerns or worries from his or her personal life.

3. There are comfortable seats

Other than a film to watch, the movie theaters also provide a comfortable seat for you to sit on. Some of the movie theaters have their seats to be adjustable which means that you can adjust the seat yourself by pressing the side button, according to how you like it. From my experience, I remember the movie theater I have gone to, I was able to adjust the seat and have my feet up on a leg rest. This is one of the things to look forward to when going to a movie theater!

4. You can eat good food

Usually, I have been told not to eat popcorn and soda a lot because they are unhealthy. However, going to enjoy at the movie theaters is the perfect excuse for me to eat popcorn and soda. Going to the movie theaters is a special occasion for me to eat popcorn and drink soda. For choices for popcorn and soda, I would always choose butter popcorn and root beer. This food and drink combination is my favorite to enjoy when going to the movie theaters.

5. You can spend time with family and friends

If I don't know anywhere else to go to, in order to spend time with my family and friends, the movie theater is always my first choice. Considering that my friends and family love movies, it's always a great activity to do together and pass the time. It's also one of the easiest activities to do. Just buy food, drink, tickets and sit and watch. Sometimes even before the film, we get to chat what to expect and also predict what we might see in the film. Then, during the film, one gets to see his or her friends and family's reactions towards the film which is even more enjoyable to watch than the film. In the end, it's also fun hearing what your friends and family have to say about the movie after one asks them, "Do you enjoy the film?" or "Do you like the film?" Then, we go into a big conversation that might last enough during the trip back home.

In conclusion, going to the movie theaters once in a while is great for fun and relaxation!

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
