1. You Love Midnight Premieres, But Hate The People It Attracts
Technically, a movie's the same if you see it opening day or six weeks into its run, but if you're an insufferable film nerd, there's something romantic about seeing it right at midnight. You're in a theatre with people who couldn't wait a single minute longer to see it, so it should be the best possible viewing experience, right? Theoretically, this should be the case. But it isn't. Midnight premieres tend to attract, above all else, middle schoolers and high schoolers, because what do they care if they're tired on a Friday morning? It's not like their work means anything. Try getting through a single midnight screening without some moron fifteen-year-old shouting "MARCO!" at the top of his lungs during two seconds of silence. Yet despite the misery of the midnight movie experience and the fact that you actually value sleeping now, you can't stop going to them because the idea of the midnight premiere is still too appealing - even if the reality of the situation stomps all over your dreams of seeing a movie at midnight with an enthused but well-behaved crowd. Keep dreaming, film nerd.
