1. What’s your favorite day & time to go to the movies?

I could go on and on about the deep satisfaction of an 11am movie, but I know I’m speaking to my community here. I’d like to defend the the 3pm movie or even the 4pm movie. In the afternoon, around 2:30, my brain simply shuts down. There are just no fresh thoughts. It’s the perfect time of day to slip into a movie theater and into someone else’s consciousness. It makes an otherwise unproductive stretch of my day newly active. And when you get out of the theater it’s time to start thinking about dinner and pick up something on your way home.

Can I come out against the 10pm movie? Is that allowed? In some glamorous cosmopolitan world I’m going to dinner or getting drinks before the 10pm movie but in reality I am tired. I have never stayed awake in a 10pm movie, no matter what I’ve just come from or who I’m with.
