97 days. March 14^th at 3:15 PM was the last time that I was in a movie theater. I had just seen a double feature of Bloodshot (…whatever) and The Hunt. (YES!) Let’s just say that it was good to be “home”. Things were a little different but not so much to make it weird. There were only 7 other people in the theater that I was in and everyone was kinda quiet and hushed more than usual.

Strangely enough, there were no trailers, even though there are a back-log of movies coming out. But when the Back to the Future logo slides in from the right side of the screen, it felt really good. It’s strange because for a movie that I haven’t seen in a theater in 35 years, I knew it very well and yet some of the details had been lost, even after watching it many times over the years.

As everyone hears me say, there’s just something different about seeing it on the big screen. For instance, if you were to play a drinking game with either Pepsi or Burger King, you’d be hammered halfway through. For me, someone who thinks Pepsi is far superior to Coke and Burger King over McDonalds is just a huge mismatch, that was ok with me. In fact, after the movie I grabbed a delicious Whopper for dinner. There’s other little details that you notice but seeing it again reminds me of why I like this movie so much and why I like movies in general so much. Even with limited options, for a first movie back, it was a great choice.
