How does one randomly end up seeing a movie? Like you stumbled and fell into the theater?

I'm not who you asked but hope you don't mind.

Some of my best movie times were during a period where I started to drift apart from best friends. I had moved into the area to be around them. It was tough. One day I went to the theater without any plan. Changed my whole view at the time and felt like a leap in self love. Just showing up and watching whatever all on my own.

I know it’s not what they meant but there’s a thing called surprise screenings where you don’t know what you’re about to watch.

I did these a handful of times in Orlando, they usually had cameras afterwards for some pre YouTube overly excited thumbnail meme moment. Some people really hammed it up.
