Movies of 2020 - the ones we saw and the ones we couldn't

If you know me at all, you probably know I like to go to the movies. And so does my husband - who in fact goes to many more movies than I do since I won't go to horror movies with him. So this year has been hard on us in ways other than the ways it was hard for you guys who actually quarantined. We actually have been to a few movies since March. I made a list pulled from my planner, see below.

Here's the movies we saw in the Before Time:

1. 1917 (twice)
2. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
3. Little Women
4. Birds of Prey (twice)
5. Emma

and Rob had also seen:

• The Grudge
• The Turning
• The Lodge
• The Invisible Man

Here's the post I wrote in mid-March about the movies above. (Emma was quite good, y'all should go find it. Awesome cast.)

Rob has seen many more movies since the theaters re-opened than I have because horror movies are one of the few things that actually were getting released. And before anybody asks, we looked at the reviews of Tenet and decided to skip it.

The theaters were empty, y'all. We went to movies at two different theaters, and I never felt unsafe at all because it was a wasteland. Sometimes there was nobody else there at all, but if there were other people they were far away. (Rob did say that quite a few people were at Halloween.) You do have to wear masks, of course, although (of course) you have to be able to take them off to eat your popcorn or whatever else you have to eat. - Rob likes to sneak nuts and stuff in. Don't tell.

Here's what I found that we both went to between July and December. I knew I hadn't been a lot but this was even fewer things than I thought! Two new ones, three older ones:

• Inception
• The Personal History of David Copperfield (really good!)
• 42 (which we had not previously seen) (also really good)
• The Empire Strikes Back (which I probably hadn't seen in a theater since 1983)
• WW84

Has anybody seen WW84 as an On Demand movie? I thought of doing some kind of a review for it and couldn't figure out what to say. It... wasn't terrible. But it was depressing, a lot of it. I found it quite disturbing, for reasons I haven't been able to put my finger on. (Pedro Pascal was really good, though!)

Rob also saw:

• The Outpost
• The Hunt
• Unhinged
• The Call
• Psycho
• Halloween (the 2018 one)
• The Empty Man
• Come Play

Honestly, what is it with the "the" names? Is it, like, considered more masculine or something? - Anyway, so all but two of those are new movies, right? If I remember I'll ask him if any of those stand out as being especially worth seeing!

No Marvel movies released this year, that made me crazy. (I did re-watch every one that I could find, in order, over the summer.)
