The cinema is back open next friday. Oh man I'm getting giddy just thinking about it. Looking at the listings, seeing something is coming that you've wanted to see for ages. The manky smell of popcorn in the lobby that's somehow comforting. The familiar faces checking tickets. The creaky uncomfortable chairs that feel like home. The knowledge that you are far safer in here than in a crowded shop. Great looking trailers for films that might never get a cinema release because of bastarding fuckbag covid. That Love Cinema ad narrated by the fella from Patriot Games. The moment the lights go down when I grin like a loon at the sheer joy of being back in my favourite place. The overwhelming relief of feeling some bit of normality again. The excitement of finally getting to see the film you've been reading about all year. When it's over hopefully feeling like the wait was worth it. Thinking that films on the TV at home just never compare to seeing them on a huge screen. Walking out the door into the fresh air and instantly wondering do you have time to fit in another film. Realising you don't really but saying fuck it and doing it anyway.
I cannot wait.
