Getting Chatty at the Cinema: A Movie-Going Epidemic

The summer movie season is about to kick off in just two short weeks with the release of Iron Man 3, for which I am crazy pumped. As a movie junkie, I enjoy going to the theater year-round, but there’s just something so awesome about the summer movie season. It’s loud, it’s fun, it gets your fists pumping in the air during particularly action-y scenes (or is that just me?)… it’s a great time for movies. I like to have my brain challenged in the winter Oscar season, but I love to whoop it up with superheroes in the summer.

But as excited as I am, I’m facing a serious problem. Wait, a serious movie-goer problem. (Lest you all think I’m a privileged moron, I needed to clarify. I know there are far more dire things in the world than this.)

You see, going to the movies has always been one of my favorite life activities. Yes, of all of the amazing things that life offers us, sitting in a dark theater to watch a new release of cinematic art is one of the best. It’s magic for me.
