i love popcorn as much as the next guy, but it’s time to leave 15 dollar mediums in the past. last week i brought a thick as hell italian sandwich to a 12:30 showing of “I’m Still Here,” and it was gone before the trailers ended. Let me give you a breakdown. Baguette: cut in half and ripped open with my bare hands. Salami, capicolla, maybe some mortadella if i’m feeling crazy. Provolone, lettuce, onion, and a little olive oil and vinegar if they are easily accessible (mine was made in a trader joe’s parking lot.) Might even offer a bit to the guy sitting 3 rows in front of me. The movie theater sandwich awakens something in you. You become a new person by the time it’s done.

And then you order an xtra large popcorn and act like you‘re ordering it for two people but you are eating all of it by yourself aren’t you? you then get a stomach ache with an hour left to go in the movie and have to leave.

Preferably to a theatre close to your house. It has a very cool dreamy feeling like you’re still at home and makes the movie hit deeper. Dried fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, cookies, crackers etc. Sweet and savoury all in one bag is nice. Enjoy being surprised by your favourites in the dark.

u will leave with a renewed spirit, and possibly a giant bag of free leftover popcorn that they would have otherwise tossed out

the amc a-list is well-known gem, but it is really one of the best deals available, especially after the recent change they made to it. four movies a week! what! However I get sometimes you just have to go to the cinema on a budget, tickets can be expensive. STILL, support your local independent theater if you can!! at least around me there are multiple rep theaters (shoutout the coolidge theater in Boston and the Brattle in Cambridge) that constantly show old films and introduce classics to a new audience. I will die for these theaters, and I try to find a balance between using my a-list for new movies and seeing rep screenings at the indies! you can do both! I LOVE MOVIES!!!!

get drunk, embarrass yourself, it’s worth it, it will strengthen your bonds (as long as it’s not your boss)

as both a movie and a physical media lover, starting a dvd/blue-ray/criterion collection and buying a blue-ray player was one of the best choices I've ever made. record stores, thrift stores, and other random places sell dvds of incredible movies for like 1 dollar each, so it makes it super easy to start a collection, and you have a physical watchlist to go through. I've also started buying criterion and I am in love with those, but they can be quite expensive so I do it sparingly, and only when there is a 50% sale which happens like 2-3 times a year. get off the streaming services and start watching your movies off a disc!!!
