Popcorn and a movie was always a fun time By Chaplain Diane Gunsolley
Do you remember when driving down to the local movie theater, sharing some hot buttered popcorn, and escaping into the adventure unfolding on the big screen was a fairly regular occurrence? Perhaps you still frequent the movies; for me, it’s rare. Most of today’s films just aren’t worth plunking down the cash. When a movie sounds marginally good, I usually wait a few months, rent it at Redbox and watch it at home. Now that our TV sets are three, four or even five times the size they used to be, I feel like I’m at my own private movie theater. If the movie is disappointing, it’s not at all embarrassing to walk out, and if the movie is excellent, I enjoy watching the best parts a second time.
