F2F Class Notes 8th November (Celeste)

Original

Internet (part9—movies)

I already did not go to cinema to see a movie about six years. I remember “Avatar” was the last movie which I saw at cinema these years. I like movies than TV, because movies can make me relax and thinking in short time. I have no time to go to cinema even just spend my two hours. But I still can see about ten movies every year. I use online movies to see. When I am going to see a movie, I will find the title on internet then a lot of movie sites will appear. After payment, I can see movies online or download and save into my PC. It means I can see movies every time and everywhere. Sometimes it is luck to get free one. I know it is not good to filmmakers, because they make movies for cinema not PC or TV. We should go to cinema to support them to create the next new movie. Of cause it should be good movies not bad movies to waste our money and time.

Internet (part9—movies)
It has already been 6 years since I last went to a cinema/movie theater.

 I have not been to / gone to a movie theater in 6 years.

I remember “Avatar” was the last movie I saw in cinemas. I like movies more than TV because movies can make me relax and are thought provoking/educational/inspirational/motivational.  I have no time to go to the movies not even two hours. But I still can watch about ten movies every year. I see/watch movies online. When I want to see a movie, I will find the title on the internet then a lot of movie sites will appear. After paying, I can watch movies online or download and save them into my PC. It means I can watch movies anytime and anywhere. Sometimes I am lucky and get a free one. I know it is not good for filmmakers, because they make movies for cinemas not PCs or TVs. We should go to the movies to support them to create the next new movie. Of course filmmakers should make good movies for us/people/audience members/movie goers because bad movies waste our money and time.
