1. What’s your favorite day & time to go to the movies?
If I have the opportunity, I love seeing a matinee on a weekday – it just feels so romantic. If it’s on the weekend, my ideal time is around 8pm. I don’t like going to a 6-7pm movie because that’s my prime dinner time and the movie snacks just don’t cut it for me!
2. What’s your favorite movie theater?
My go-to is Burbank Town Center 6 because the parking is easy and there’s no service in the theaters, so people usually aren’t on their phones. Still, I always prefer the aura of a local indie theater like the Los Feliz 3 (which also has the best popcorn out of any theater I’ve been to in LA).
