Movie Day

avatar

I had a change of routine over the weekend and my last 24 hours wasn't what it used to be. There is a saying that all work and no play makes George a dull boy, and to prevent becoming dull, I always made sure that I had some fun over the weekend. My engagement online on weekends is always low because of the fun activity I engage in, it is always an opportunity to recharge myself physically and mentally.

Our definition of fun is quite different from one another. While some people think it means hanging around with friends or going to parties, I choose to stay indoor and watch football. It might not sound fun to people who aren't a fan of football but any football lover can relate to the fun feeling these PL matches bring to us.

The English Premier League is my place to be on weekends, being virtually present in the United Kingdom is one of the best ways to enjoy the weekend and it has been like this for over a decade now. Back then, I spent most of my time on weekends at the football viewing centre but now, I can do that indoor and it makes the game more enjoyable for me. As I mentioned earlier, football makes my weekend great but unfortunately, there are weekends when there is no Premier League action and it makes the weekend quite boring.

The club leagues were on break over the weekend and nothing could fill the space for me. Although there were country matches but I find them quite boring except it's a tough fixture and didn't watch so I had to engage in another fun activity over the weekend.

In the absence of football, I choose to watch movies since I haven't done that properly in a long time. I used to see a lot of movies before but lost interest at a point, it was really bad that I couldn't spend an hour on a movie. It is either I have other things to do or I just sleep off while watching. It's boring to see the same storyline being repeated by different casts and the series gets boring after a few episodes but this weekend was different, I settled for movies since there was nothing else to do.

I started watching The Queen Of The South for over a month now and this weekend was the perfect time for me to finish the series and it was great. There were so many twists in the movie and unlike before when I always predicted the end of a movie, I was surprised at how it ended. Seeing Theresa Mendosa and her crew having a beautiful life after taking over the drug world wasn't something I thought would happen. I was nowhere close to predicting the end and didn't regret seeing the series.

Completing the series inspired me to see another movie titled Tomorrow's War. It's not a new movie but the storyline made me check and it wasn't bad either.

I remembered another movie review I saw on Hive a few weeks ago and also watched Nowhere. The movie made me emotional, what that woman went through before and after giving birth by herself in the middle of nowhere on the ocean was really unpleasant.

In simple words, my last 24 hours have been about movies. I honestly can't remember the last time I watched that number of movies within that time frame. If not for the football break, I wouldn't have seen the movie but I am glad I did.

Football resumes this weekend and God knows when I will properly see a movie again. I will return to the best place to be and activity to do on weekends. Thanks for reading.

Just like you, I suddenly lost interest in watching movies. The day I will feel like watching one, I will end up sleeping after few minutes and this was why I did participate in HL weekend thread ending tonight.. lolz
That Nowhere movies sounds interesting, I am moved to see the movie, anything concerning womanhood, I love to get in touch 😃

I see you had an exceptional weekend George enjoying your weekend with movies, hopefully your premier League will resume this coming weekend 🎉👏

I used to be a movie lover and the interest just vanished all of a sudden. I think there is a stage we get to and start having a lot on our table and movies are not just part of them.

Nowhere is superb and you will definitely enjoy it.

Movie legend. Hahaha 😂. So you can sit back and watch movies like this? Well for me is a habit I am praying for to stop. If I am not hiving, cooking for my family, then it must be movie time. I just love to watch love films. Hahaha 😄. People usually launch at me for always craving for love films. I can let go anything just to watch love films. But when it comes to God, I don't let anything compete with God in my heart when I want to be with God.
Thanks for sharing

I wish I could still watch movies like I did some years back but the will isn't just there anymore.

I honestly do not speak against people spending lots of time watching movies as long as there isn't any important thing to do at that time.

For me, I do it with my leisure time. I can't allow it take over another important thing that I am sopposed to do. That one is for kids coming up who don't know there left from right. I know what I need to do. When I am done, I can start watching my love films.
Thanks dear

You really used your weekend well, I barely finish a movie recently, I have about 50 new movies I want to watch them but each time I play any, Mr sleep will just come and knock me off.

Football!! God when? I find football matches very boring, I have tried hard to get used to it but it doesn't just work. Maybe it's because I didn't give it more time

As a cinephile I usually watch a lot of movies and some series on the weekends, Nowhere I have it pending and right now I am watching Sex Education, which I think is a very good series, fun and with a young cast. Here in Venezuela the king sport is baseball and soccer has brought some joy. Soon the baseball season will start and many of us will be distracted by the game. It is good to take a break from the daily routine on the weekend. Thanks for sharing.

Watching movie had become part of daily routine so I can't count it as something different from what I do daily.
But then I walked in the rain yesterday which is very unusual of me though it was refreshing sha

I watch movies in daily basis, I cannot study for an exam without having a movie breaks😌😂. To me watching movies are therapeutic so I understand your love for football. I'm glad you enjoyed the movie.
