Seeing Avengers: Infinity War at the premiere in Hollywood. Literally walked into the theater after speaking to Jim Starlin on the carpet. Then, I seemed to be the only one visibly happy at the end of the film (my guy won!) Then, seeing Jim outside, looking content after the movie.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

“Why is everyone talking about Magic The Gathering?”
“What do you mean?”
“Everyone keeps mentioning MTG.”

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.
They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.
