How we watch movies together without being together.

The global pandemic has affected many aspects of our lifes, and the slow disappearance of the movie teater experience is maybe a superfluous one but at the same time, a sad thing.

I love movies, and if there's one thing that love more than watch movies, is to talk about them...so, how we watch movies together without being together?

With my girlfriend at the beginning of the pandemic on 2020, we invented a system to watch a ton of movies, talk about them, and share our toughts with each other over the phone, because we don't live nearby and sometimes it was imposible to see her.

Sooo, one of us has tu pick a particular genre, this can be as specific as you want, example: a 2000s comedy with a blonde protagonist. And we both pick a film under that category that the other one hasn't seen. We set an specific hour and explain to the other one where we can find the film (a download or streaming service).

So, if i told her "the category is films with Colin Firth", i pick something that she hasn't seen, like Kingsman, and then, she pick something that i hasn't seen, like Love Actually.

And then, we talk about it during the film.

Is not ideal, but we get to share our time and force each other to watch films that are out of our usual taste. I would never have imagined to enjoy films like Clueless or When Harry Meet Sally.

At the end of the year, we even make a litle ceremony, awarding the best and worst films that we got to watch, It's a small sample of how some difficult times can be exploited to get some nice things. We need to find windows of time to do things like that, aside from work and study.
