This topic from Long and Short Reviews’ blog hop was an
interesting one. I’m not a person who does arts and crafts or sports, so my
idea of a hobby was always going to be less practical and more sedentary. What
do I like to do in my spare time?
The cinema.
A lot of people will say that dinner and a film is an
unimaginative date, but seeing films at the cinema is one of my favourite
things to do. There’s something about the experience of watching a film on the
big screen – the atmosphere, the darkness, the surround sound – that I
absolutely love. I’ll see almost anything, although I’m not a lover of comedy
(apart from Blazing Saddles). Action,
historical, biopics – and of course horror.
Horror films are my guilty pleasure. Other than torture
porn, I’ll watch any kind of horror and probably enjoy it. I particularly love
paranormal horror, as there’s something about the paranormal that fascinates me
– I’ve even been on paranormal investigations, although I highly doubt I’ll
ever see anything real. But watching a really good horror that scares you out
of your skin is something I absolutely love.
So what are your favourite hobbies?
I like your version of a hobby. I've been invited to ghost hunt, but I hate being around creepy crawlies (the prison where they ghost hunted had bugs and dead critters, so yeah...no). Still, a date night sounds fun. :-)
ReplyDeleteNo bugs at the ones I went to, but no ghosts either, sadly.
DeleteI'm fascinated by your answer because I don't like going to the cinema at all. I'd much rather watch films at home where I can have any snack I wish for and pause for bathroom breaks if needed. Hehe. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat was it like to be on a paranormal investigation? That sounds so fun.
My post.
I like watching films at home for the same reason! The investigators did their best to make it a fun evening, but despite their best efforts we didn't see anything.
DeleteI think your hobbies sound fun, they might not be me but that doesn't mean I couldn't have a new experience:)

Thank you!
DeleteI love movies! I'd go all the time if I could. I also really, really want to go ghost hunting. I'm pretty convinced we have a ghost in our house (I wrote about it here: http://www.mariannearkins.com/wednesday-woo-woo/) and the idea fascinates me!
ReplyDeleteThe only snag with ghost hunting is having to drive home at 3am afterwards, but it was fun!
DeleteI can fully support a hobby like this! Also, I love horror, too, but cheesy as heck b-movies are my favorite. Something about the ridiculousness of them that draws me in.

I do love a good b-movie - and some really bad ones too.
DeleteI'm not that big on going to movies, mostly because my husband doesn't do well (he gets restless easily and can't sit still), I don't like going alone, and I hate spending the money!

ReplyDeleteIt is getting expensive now, I admit.
