I’m thinking specifically about movies you wish more people had seen so that we — the big cultural We — could talk about it. Or even just so that you could talk to other movie fans about it.
This might be a movie you love and want to experience on a different level. Or it might be one that would only be improved if you could delete the dialogue. (My choice is one of the latter…)
Movies are fantasy factories, creating places that do not exist in the real world: settings so hugely imaginative that they could not possibly exist, and settings that could conceivable exist, yet don’t.
And let us in on a secret feature on it or the tool there you use most. Tell us your movie-nerd secrets!
Do you have any particularly good — or bad — memories of the experience, perhaps of certain films you got to see that you wouldn’t otherwise have been able to, or of the overall vibe? Would you attend again, or have you?
If not, what will it take for you to be comfortable? Or, perhaps you’ve been going to the movies all along during the pandemic, when possible, in which case I’d ask: How safe did that feel, and were you ever worried about your safety?
The explosive growth of our entertainment options have fractured the pop-culture zeitgeist, and now it seems as if there is little distinction between movies and, say, TV shows. Do movies still stand apart?
What do you think about what we thought, almost a decade ago, might be a good way to expand the story, versus what we actually just got?

Here’s an idea: tell a story about a female superhero who has to fight not only bad guys but cultural assumptions. Cast Jennifer Lawrence.
