I watch movies strictly at home, and strictly alone. My ideal time is late night, when there is no light and the dark creates a cinema-like atmosphere. I really like it when my room is completely dark and the laptop’s screen light is the only light. It works especially well with black-and-white movies, which I frequently consume. But I have to admit that late night doesn’t give me enough time to watch movies. Actually I can watch at any time in the day as long as I have a lot of time, but late night is my favorite. I also watch movies in cinemas with friends, but whenever I do that I have to have my brain turned off beforehand. First off, I don’t have much choice of movies in the cinema. There are fewer movies than my collection and I have to go with what my friends choose. Secondly, most movies there fail to match my taste fun fact: my friends don’t know I have a very strange taste. I know there are good movies now and then but it just so happens that whenever I come to the cinema I only see bad movies. Whenever I watch movies there I have to lower my expectation to the bottom of the gauge. The cinema is just an excuse for hanging out with friends and eating junk food. Movies are only secondary. Beside, I want to focus entirely on the movies, so watching alone is the best option.I only watch movies with friends for fun. When I need to watch movies in a serious manner, I want to be completely alone. My taste of movies is too sophisicated for my friends for a serious discussion anyway. Or maybe I just take movies too seriously. I also have a ritual. Because there are so many movies in my collection, I need to choose movies in a way that no movie is left out for so long. I use this website to help me decide. I paste my list of movie on the site and the movie that fall onto the arrow becomes the next movie to watch. You never know what you will get :)
