Generally speaking, I dislike watching movies. I think it has a lot to do with a very short attention span that often times I’m more obsessed with watching the clock than the film (and that’s when I’m not already asleep). And since I know I’m missing out on some good entertainment, culture, learning, thinking etc.., I make an effort to watch them now and again… and I think that Korean theaters may help me with my problem. The other day I tagged along with a group that was going to check out the new Simpson’s movie which was playing in the kids section of the theatre. (yes, it seemed strange to me too) Heading to the late show meant that we were the only ones watching this particular film, and walking inside we were all stunned and excited by what we found.. a theater filled with plushy couches to seat 2 or 3, brightly coloured and uber comfortable, with drawers underneath to store your goods… but that’s not even the best part… The 20 feet or so in front of the screen was just a huge soft pleathery mat. Lying down during the movie, in a theater, was cozy, and the wrestling and tumbling we could do on it afterwards was heaps of fun. Having to overlook the fact that probably a dozen kids pee on these mats weekly was just about the only problem. So perhaps these comfy surroundings won’t help keep my interest in movies, or help me find a new passion for film, but at least they provide I comfortable place to fall asleep!
