At Last Another Quiet Place

We've always been committed once a weekers. For the past few years that once a week has been Tuesdays. We've had abstinence forced upon us for the last fifteen months. Aniticipation grows with frustration. Today we're letting loose. We're coming and going.

The movie theater in town has opened at last. Finally we can see Quiet Place II which makes this a truly memorial weekend if memorial means memories from the past combining with guaranteed memories of the future forming in the present.

The release of Quiet Place II has been delayed for the entire duration of the plague. It was scheduled for release the weekend that the theaters shut down. In the interim, viewing habits have changed. First run movies are becoming readily available on teevee. Why go to the bother of sitting in the dark with strangers when movies can be rented on teevee 45 days after their theater release.

The answers are simple.

Movies are bigger.

Movies are louder.

Movies get us off the couch.

We love movies.

We were young with movies.

We grew up with movies.

We're growing old with movies.

Thank God they're coming back.

How will the box office respond?

I'm predicting Quiet Place II will put up huge numbers. It would have been a smash huge if released on time last summer. Now with our frustration at its peak,  Direcor Krasinski and wife/star Blunt come to the rescue.

Saved in the nick of time

Just like in the movies.

Phenominal

Today is the FIRST day of actual release. We'd have gone to the first show but didn't realize the drought was over until we serendipitously checked movie times. We were/are astonished. The theater opens at noon. Can this be real? Too good to be true?

It's an hour before noon right now.

I'm trying not to panic.

Keep cool on this scorching Saturday.

Remember when Emily put her bare foot on the glass on the cellar steps and couldn't make a sound.

Remember when she delivered the child in the bathtub without a sound.

Of course we remember.

How could we forget?

This weekend there will be a lot of noise about, around and within A Quiet Place II.

I'm thrilled to be making some of that noise right now.

Stay tuned.
