Returning to the Movie Theater: Watching Black Widow @ Bow Tie Cinemas Movieland in Schenectady, NY

 The last movie Eric and I saw in a theater is Birds of Prey on March 7, 2020, in Palmdale, California.

Sixteen months later, Eric and I are at Bow Tie Cinemas Movieland to see a matinee showing Marvel's Black Widow in downtown Schenectady, New York.  

Eric and I choose our seats.  (I like this option.)  We buy popcorn with a soda to share and enter the theater.  The theater lights go down, the previews start, and three other moviegoers join us.  Matinee goers don't get the communal experience of a room full of laughs and/or groans, as we react to what we see and hear, but we get lots of space to ourselves and the movie becomes a personal experience.


Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff, played by Scarlet Johansson) reunites with her childhood family, and sparks fly...  among Mom, Dad, long lost Sister, Yelena.   The action is much more intense when confronting an international band of baddies (fists, weapons, explosions).

Marvel's Universe of Superheroes continues to evolve... and I won't drop any spoilers.

Eric and I love being back at the movies!
