You need to go to the cinema; it’s a basic human need. The popcorn, the oversized drinks, the large theater just waiting for the screen to come on—all contribute to the experience. Even the ads before the movie have a sort of tradition of their own. Early birds get good seats and settle comfortably in their chairs, while the ads provide a chance for those running late to catch the movie without missing anything.
