Movies

Movies...everybody loves them. Me too, of course. I always try to see a movie or two if I have time. While in America, I always went to movies with friends because movies are cheap there. Maybe they're about half the price of Japanese movie theaters...roughly 7 or 8 bucks (dollars). You can see a lot of movies for that price! In Japan, movies are pretty expensive. I can't pay 1,600 yen every time to see a movie. Maybe I go once every two years. I wait until the movie I want to see comes out on DVD or wait until I go to America to see it. Recently, many good movies are shown on airplanes. When I travel, I always take advantage of watching movies, as I did when I went to the US for Christmas and New Year's holidays last and this year. I watched four movies on the airplane, and saw three movies at the movie theater near my family's home in Florida. I saw, Bridge of Spies with Tom Hanks, Spectre,(the new Bond film), and Black Mass with Johnny Depp. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see Star Wars! I asked my niece if she wanted to see it, but she hadn't seen any of them. Boo. I asked my mother. She didn't want to sit through an action-packed movie. My step father hadn't seen any of them either. Boo again. My sister and brother-in-law didn't want to go without my niece. My step brother was busy. What was I to do? I guess I could've gone alone, but I didn't want to try to have fun alone. Oh well, I guess I'll have to see it here in Japan, and pay that big price. I was told that it's cheaper for senior citizens. Me, a seniro citizen? I'm not that old Grimace. Wait, maybe it's a good thing...but I've heard there is a special price for over 50 people one weekend per month, I guess. Maybe I'll try that one! Hey, wait, are buses, shopping, onsens, traveling, etc. cheaper for seniors too? What? Half price off?!
