Movie Night Recap: The Avatar Takeover! 🎬🍿

 

Hello, Locke House friends!

Our recent Movie Night was definitely one to remember—but not for the reasons you’d expect! Six of us gathered, ready for a cosy evening of film and treats. The chosen movie? Avatar. A solid pick, except… most of us had already seen it! 😆

About 15–20 minutes in, three people decided they’d had enough and left. Another 20 minutes later, a few more of us followed. In the end, only one person stayed to watch the entire film—even though, when asked, they admitted they’d already seen it too! Talk about commitment.

On the bright side, staff member Holly made sure everyone had some sweets, and I managed to get a great cup of coffee. So, at least the coffee was a win! ☕

While the movie played in the background, we actually had a good discussion about how to improve Movie Night. One great suggestion was to check IMDb’s newest movie list before voting, so we don’t end up re-watching the same films. A proper voting system would help us choose a movie that gets everyone excited, rather than leaving it to chance.

What do you all think? Should we set up an in-advance voting system for the next Locke House Movie Night? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
