Peter Gutierrez writes about the pleasures of watching movies, alone and together: “The more we curl up next to our smart phones and tablets whenever and wherever we want to; the more we crave the spectacle of the premiere, the excitement of that first midnight screening, the sharing of a movie’s emotional ride. Likewise, the more we appease this hunger for the messy exhilaration of film in its most public venues, the more we long for a quiet retreat into isolation and convenience.”
