Being Geek Chic is the yammerings of a Midwestern nerd named Elizabeth Giorgi. My vision impairment is real, which is frustrating because I really would like to see a 3D movie.

I just love the movies
I just love the movies.
There’s this moment I wish could capture for you and share. It’s this 5 second period of pure quiet before the soundtrack picks up and the screen fades in.
It’s accompanied by the sweet scent of popped corn.
And appreciated in the noise of the next morning when you find the ticket stub in your pocket and remember a scene or a song.
I will see a romantic comedy, dark thriller, suspenseful drama or documentary. Nothing is really off limits. OK, maybe horror flicks. (They’re just not my thing.) Especially, if it’s at the cinema.
Yes, I’ll pay the $6 for a small bag of popcorn. I’ll hand over my $12 for a movie ticket. I’ll fight for a parking spot. Despite it all, I’ll be happy. Especially when I sit in my favorite spot. One row from the back. Center. No one to my left. No one in front of me. Boyfriend to my right. Everything glorious.
It’s a place to be quiet. A place to think. A place to escape. A place to explore.
Even when I see a terrible movie - I don’t leave. I appreciate the time to just be. To just absorb. The time I spend at the movies.
