The Man Who Fell Into A Multi-plex
Franchise And Reboot This
Mr. Smartypants Goes To The Movies
Okay. So this snowflake walks into a multi-plex movie theater in New York City.
And—while this is something so mundane that millions of people do it daily, without thinking—this egghead is absolutely shocked and appalled.
Probably because of some high-fallutin’ quote-unquote refined cinematic tastes, this highbrow doesn’t normally find himself wandering into one of these motion picture amusment parks. His pupils spin in his head like the cherries in a slot machine.
This is New York City, he professes. Here we have movie choices beyond the jejune because it is acknowledged that there are some people whose experience with motion pictures does not require them to leave their grey matter at the box office to enjoy what is on the screen.
Well, excuuuse us!
I continue to interview myself in third person over by the advertising sign for the $26.99+ tax “Crew Combo” junk food bonanza. Plus $2 upgrade to large popcorn and drinks or icees.
