Movies

I love going to the movies. It's an experience of escapism that is still unparalleled, even today when you don't have to do much at all to feel alone. I'll even go alone. Just me, the black room, and a bucket of popcorn. In a time when I find myself with the world on a smartphone in my pocket, it's nice to feel like I'm in the pocket of the world. The big screen makes me feel small. It reminds me that I am small. But at the same time, it reminds me how big people can get. For two hours, I watch a world unfold that once was simply a few neurons sparking around in someone's head. And that person turned that weird late-night-sushi dream, or scribble on a napkin, into a immortal story, that could influence millions of people.
