Long time no see, readers! Movie theaters have reopened and new movies are finally available to see on the big screen, including Christopher Nolan's Tenet, most notably. I'll confess right up front that I'm extremely hesitant to attend a screening of any kind at the moment. If I could guarantee that I'd be the only person in the theater I might consider it, but otherwise I think I'll wait it out just a little longer, as much as I miss the sanctuary of the dark, air-conditioned auditoriums and the glowing moving images of the screen.
I doubt I'd be lucky enough to be the sole patron for Nolan's latest based on the impressive box office numbers it's managed to pull over the Labor Day weekend. 20+ million isn't bad considering the limited seating and the fact that not all markets are open yet. Did you brave the ongoing pandemic to check it out? Tell me how it was in the comments so I can live vicariously through your movie-going experiences.
Meanwhile, as the title of the post and above photo suggest, I've finally made my first trip to the drive-in theater! I figured this would be the best alternative to in-door theaters, since I've been missing it so much. They were showing Tenet on the other screen, but since this was my first time at the drive-in and I wasn't sure what kind of complications would arise (mainly in regards to sound and projection), I decided it would be best to wait until it could be seen under more ideal circumstances. So that left us with New Mutants.
