The Movies and TV

The Movies and TV

Something Cheryl and I did almost every week in Dallas was to go to the movies and since we have been living in Costa Rica, there have been only a couple of times that we have been out to see a movie at a theater. Yes, we have a state-of-the-art movie theater here in Grecia with the big comfortable captain’s chairs, and fake-buttered popcorn, just like the States. And no, they are not in Spanish; they are in English with Spanish subtitles so if you do want to go to the movies you will hear the same dialogue you hear in the States and the opportunity to learn some Spanish through the subtitles is just an extra.

What we have become fond of doing is renting the DVD and just watching it at home so we can have the real buttered popcorn and by the way, we get first run movies on DVD the same time they are at movie theaters in the States. Don’t ask me how that works because I don’t care as long as I can watch the very same movie at home as when it comes out in the States. Lots of people want to know how and I really don’t know how because there are lots of questions I just don’t ask.

What many people do not know is that we also have American TV and watch the same channels and with all the features you have in the States. We can watch everything recorded on a DVR and skip through the commercials and see everything first run just the same as you do in the States. Same time—same channel.
