#thanks amc theaters!

[zisgarbage]

Glass Onion will always be a memorable experience for me because my body loves to put me through hell when I’m at the movie theater trying to sit in a dark crowded room to see something I paid for. I remember the funny parts because whenever I’d try to laugh I’d have to hold it back cause I was recovering from a cold and sounded like I was drowning in my own mucus but I was scared people would think I’d have covid so I was suffocating and I finished my large ICEE before the film even started so all in all 10/10 film I almost died and pissed my pants

A love letter to AMC...

Dear AMC Theaters, For years you have given me so much. I’ve found a second home amongst your dark rows of reclining seats. I’ve found my own space as I nestle myself into my favorite seat, D9. You have gifted me moments of joy, laughter, and tears. You’ve made me feel seen. I have spent years of my life visiting your spaces several times a week. It started as fun but turned into something more.…

best part of going to a local theater is that my ticket to see wicked was 10 bucks

Takeaways From CinemaCon 2024: Not Enough Movies, Too Much Testosterone

Story by Sharon Waxman

 • 1d • 5 min read

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - APRIL 11: Dwayne Johnson speaks onstage at the Walt Disney Studios Presentation during CinemaCon 2024 at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on April 11, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada.© TheWrap

There's some good work coming up: Universal's "Wicked" at Christmas will be incredible. Disney's "Kingdom of Planet of the Apes," coming next month, looks otherworldly. Bong Joon-ho's "Mickey 17," in which Robert Pattinson keeps dying and getting cloned, from Warners, looks insane in the best possible way. 

But the strike took its toll. The studios don't have the full complement of movies and there's no way around it: 2024 is going to be painful at the box office. The hope in the room (and there was some) is really about 2025 and 2026. 

A week in Las Vegas at the annual CinemaCon gathering of movie exhibitors with midday cocktail parties at Nobu (thanks Lionsgate) didn't mask the fact that the coming eight months of movies will be scraped together after a brutal year.

"It will be painful for moviegoers who want something other than angry shoot-em-ups, ear-shattering sound tracks and constant horror. The slates of Warner Bros., Paramount and Lionsgate particularly screamed of unrelenting testosterone and a stream of fear, anger and retribution."

"I've said it before: Is there no joy, no tenderness, no intimacy permitted as part of the moviegoing experience? Do we audiences ever get to dream? To feel awe and empathy in between the white-knuckle moments? Are Hollywood executives who greenlight the movies unfamiliar with ... y'know, kindness? Think about it please."

(Me: YES!)

Here are my CinemaCon takeaways. 

1. Disney might have had the fewest movies, but it has the biggest winners, and had the best presentation. Several years ago, Disney -- at the top of its game and in the height of arrogance -- showed up to CinemaCon and presented a giant screen with a calendar of its upcoming releases. And that was it. This year, the studio tried a lot harder, presenting delightful chunks of footage from their slate -- including a stunning glimpse of "Apes" -- and onstage patter, with everyone from Marvel's Kevin Feige to the dapper distribution chief Tony Chambers dropping the F-bomb. It was liberating, honestly. Disney's strength lies in its array of brands that cater to audiences and taste across the board, and in a year like this one it showed: movies for kids with "Inside Out 2" and "Moana 2," the latter of which was presented by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson; a sensory, four-quadrant experience like "Apes"; and a fully hilarious foray into R-rated superhero fare with "Deadpool & Wolverine." Actually, it was refreshing to not be bombarded with classic Marvel superhero fare. The studio was smart to let the movies do the talking, and the exhibitors responded with cheers of appreciation. 

2. New Line lives? The Warner Bros. slate presented by Mike DeLuca and Pam Abdy (maybe not professional moderators, but at least real humans) felt like nothing so much as New Line Cinema circa the 1990s, where DeLuca spent a decade of his career. The movies were heavy on genre -- violent action, horror and crime. So sure, "Furiosa" by George Miller with Anya Taylor-Joy, is a feast for all the senses. But by the time you got through "The Watchers" (horror), "Traps" (thriller), "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" (fantasy-horror) and Todd Phillips' follow-up to "Joker" -- "Folie a Deux" (I don't know what to call this thing, but it's mad creepy) -- the audience was begging for a reason to laugh or cry — anything but cower in fear. The movie on the Warner slate that got the strongest response from the CinemaCon audience was not made by Warner. It was the Sundance documentary "Super/Man," acquired by the studio. The trailer they showed about the courage of Christopher Reeve, the love of his wife and his devotion to his children, made everybody cry. Yeah, Hollywood, that's a thing. 

3. "Where are the women?" That's what I scrawled in my notebook after the third consecutive studio presentation and the umpteenth cast with a half-dozen men and one single woman. (Actually, it was after Paramount's animated "Transformers One" and the studio's decades-later sequel of "Gladiator 2.") Not only weren't there movies to appeal specifically to a female audience, even the so-called "broad" appeal movies have overwhelmingly male casts and a token woman. "Gladiator II" has Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington ... and Connie Nielsen. "Transformers One" has Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry and a bunch more guys ... and Scarlett Johansson🙄. This absurd imbalance was supposed to have been addressed after the awakening of #MeToo, no? Women are half the population, and we like movies, too. But you'd never know it from these slates. Lionsgate was especially egregious in trotting out a full slate of movies that were a litany of violent combat, breaking bones, machetes and knives. Guy Ritchie and Eli Roth were in the mix, of course. Keanu Reaves was in four of the movies. One guy got stabbed in the eye. "Ballerina" stars a woman (Ana de Armas) but it's no less violent for that. I don't know what they're eating over there, but it feels like a diet of nails and rawhide.

4. Universal is riding high after its Best Picture win with "Oppenheimer" and a box office performance that defied expectations in 2023.

(Oppenheimer, THE FLOP, had to stay in theaters for FIVE MONTHS, to make its bank back! Dear God!)

 And while the studio, blessedly, had a variety of films on its slate that suggested something other than just horror and violence (although they're going hard on the Blumhouse canon with sequels to "Five Nights at Freddy's" and "M3ghan"), that slate is undeniably thin. It's going to be a long wait until December, when the studio can unveil what appears to be a spectacular experience in "Wicked," starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in the first of two films. Director Jon M. Chu said the production planted 8 million tulip bulbs to create the practical effect of fields of blooms in the movie. Universal cleverly gave every attendee at their presentation a tulip that lit up in the dark and created a magical, glowing effect in the auditorium.

5. Nepo-baby alert. I would have thought that Warner Bros. would be embarrassed to bring not one but TWO M. Night Shyamalan progeny out on stage to tease their new movies. There was 22-year-old Ishana with a twist on her dad's horror in the woods genre; and 27-year-old Saleka who sang live, which was probably not a great decision for "Trap," written and directed by M. Night. But then again, the studio is merely being paid a distribution fee for movies Shyamalan has financed himself.

Good luck to the box office, and see you next year, CinemaCon!

"I am so deeply thankful to AMC and every team member who worked so hard on this film. I just can't thank all of you enough for your support. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done because of the short turn around time. I practically slept in the edit, color, and mix sessions. The race against time continued in order to get this film out so quickly. But it was so worth all the grind. I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of love from my Hive. And WOW! I am so touched and encouraged by the incredible reviews!!! I love seeing everyone all dressed up in their most opulent lewks in the theaters. The mute challenges still happening, even in the theater!! Y'all are cracking me up. Please keep that energy going. I can't wait to see what else yall do :) I also love seeing the positive take aways from people who were not my fans or didn't yet know my story. The people who had no interest in seeing my shows who have now gained a deeper understanding and respect for all it takes to be a RENAISSANCE woman. I'm very proud that we launched the film on World AIDS Day in memory of my Uncle Johnny. I pray I continue to make something that lifts all of y'all up the way you continue to lift me up. While I'm often critical and feel my art is never finished, the pendulum swings. I feel gratitude. "We did it." We have the #1 movie in the country! And a 💯 on Rotten Tomatoes 🍅🥹 And it's because of you and your support! I humbly thank you."

AMC IWTV Santiago X Reader: hey little songbird

POV: you are a stage actress who is struggling to make a living and is dancing on the street to survive in 1944 Paris, France until you are approached by a mysterious man who takes a liking to you.

If your situation couldn’t go from bad to worse, you are being forced to work as a stage hand as a second job after you have been horribly mistreated by the previous theater company after you passed out in the middle of a performance due to an asthma attack.

“I don’t need them.” You muttered as you finished putting all the props away and went to go to warm yourself by the fire outside of the theater.

As you were warming yourself up by the fire, you suddenly saw an older man with blue-green eyes and he was wearing a leather trench coat.

“Bonjour Ma Belle.” He drawled seductively.

“Can I help you?” You questioned as you raised an eyebrow.

“Oh, my dear I was wondering here on an evening stroll just to get some fresh air.” He smiled toothily.

“Excuse me could you please state your name?” You questioned as you clearly weren’t in the mood for games.

“Oh silly me, my name is Santiago and I’m at your service.” The mysterious man revealed as he bowed at you dramatically.

“Well Santiago, I’m (Y/N) and I would like to be left alone please.” You shivered as you felt the coldness take over you.

“Ooh, tsk tsk, my turtle dove, I know you don’t want to do that especially after how you’ve been mistreated by your previous theater company and forced to get another job to pay for your asthma medicine.” Santiago nodded disapprovingly as he clicked his tongue.

“How do you know?!” You screeched in horror.

“Oh, I’m a vampire who can read minds.” Santiago sighed theatrically as he looked at his nails.

“I’m not going with you anywhere stay away from me!” You screeched again while trying to run away but he suddenly zoomed right by you.

“(Y/N) you know that deep down you want to come with me, you know you want to.” Santiago purred seductively.

“I-I want to come with you.” You said as you were walking towards him.

“That’s it walk towards me (Y/N).” Santiago purred again as you walked into his arms and suddenly felt your eyes get heavy.

“I-I’m sorry.” You whimpered.

“Shhh it’s okay, go to sleep.” Santiago whispered as you fell asleep in his arms.

*time skip*

As you slowly wake up you saw yourself surrounded by a group of random people in some fancy room and you were in a bed with a bandage around your neck.

“What is this place, where am I?” You croaked as you felt like you swallowed sand paper.

“Dearest (Y/N) here’s some water!” a lady said as she handed you a pitcher and a glass and poured it all for you.

“Okay, thanks?” You replied glancing at her and also taking the water from the table.

As you take a sip of the water, you decide to take the bandage off of your neck and notice two gash marks in your neck, and that your nails are now sharp.

“What’s wrong with me?” You whispered in fear.

As you were trying to get to the bottom of this strange transformation, you decided to grab a mirror from a nearby table and to your horror you realized that you not only do you no longer have your signature (E/C), but your eyes are now a deep crimson red color and that you now have fangs.

“What have you done to me?!” You screamed in anger as you were about to tackle Santiago into a wall as he was standing behind you.

“Oh look, you’ve started the transformation I’m so proud of you!” Santiago laughed after you used your new profound strength to tackle him.

“You tricked me just so you can turn me into a monster?!” You screamed in anger again as you slammed Santiago’s body into a wall.

“Now now, before you raise your pitch fork and torch at me, let me explain.” Santiago whispered to you as he was trying to calm you down.

“What is it?” You growled.

“You see I have been watching you dance on the street for a while.” Santiago said out loud while he used his powers to restrain you from attacking him again.

“Since I have had experience with being on the streets it’s time that I teach you how to use your powers. First we start with the ability to fly, and tomorrow, I’ll teach you how to get your first victim when you make your big debut performance!” He grinned as he cupped your cheeks.

*time skip*

“Follow my lead. Close your eyes, breathe, step towards the ledge, and let yourself go slowly.” Santiago whispered as he took your hand.

As you followed his specific steps, the two of you walked together and slowly jumped off of the ledge.

After the two of you jumped off of the ledge, you thought your life was over until you found yourself flying through the dark night sky of Paris as you opened your eyes.

“So, does it feel great?” Santiago asked as the two of you landed on the ground as he later grinned at you like the Cheshire Cat while you felt like Alice from Alice in Wonderland.

“Great?! It felt Euphoric!” You screeched as you couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear.

“Wonderful my dear. Get ready for tomorrow’s performance at the Théâtre des vampires because that’s when you’ll make your debut!” He grinned again like a hyena while you cackled evilly.

*time skip*

TW: Vampire violence.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Théâtre des vampires!” Santiago said as he took center stage in a skull mask that covered his face except for his mouth.

“For tonight’s performance, at the Thèâtre we present to you, tonight’s performance which is called Death and Madame Raven!” He said once again as the curtain rose.

For the play, there was a background of a dark forest and as you took center stage in a raven mask with feathers, a feathered shawl, and a cloak, you later removed the cloak along with other members of the Théâtre des vampires who were dressed as the grim reaper, wolfs, and black cats.

“Here I am! I’m lady Raven, Nevermore!” You shouted dramatically.

“I am looking for a special someone today, someone who can join me in looking for special souls-I mean guests!” You exclaimed as you feigned nervousness.

“Bonsoir Madame! It is I, death!” Santiago announced loudly as he was wearing a black cloak that accompanied the mask that he was wearing.

“Oh Monseiur death, what are you doing here?!” You gasped theatrically as you were in character.

“I am looking for a few vulnerable souls that will help me pass through the other side! What about you?!” Santiago asked in an animated tone.

“Oh dear, oh my, I am looking for a mortal companion that will take care of me! is there Anyone here that will do that?!” You announced loudly.

“Oh my sweet raven. I will take care of you and help you look for a mortal companion.” He sighed gently as he took your hand.

“Who in the audience would like to volunteer?!” You shouted as loud as you can until you found a perfect prey.

“YOU THERE, COME HERE!” you shouted as you pointed towards a lady wearing a fur stole.

“I-I’m not so sure.” She stuttered.

“Oh darling don’t be shy, we insist!” Santiago shouted as you pulled the lady onto the stage.

“W-what’s going on?” She stuttered again.

“Oh my dear, don’t you see? Your time is up!” You snarled as both you and Santiago removed your masks to reveal both of your vampire forms.

“HAHAHAHA, WHERE ARE YOU GOING BEAUTIFUL LADY?!” Santiago cackled as the both you pounced on the lady on stage as you both drained her blood as she screamed in terror.

*time skip*

After a successful performance, you and Santiago decided to retreat to a room together and shared some champagne to celebrate the successful performance.

“(Y/N), I can’t get over how exquisite you look in that black lingerie set along with that robe and more importantly that lingerie set which accentuates your waist.” He purred as he breathed seductively as his eyes were on you only.

“mmmm, thank you.” You moaned in delight as you felt his cold hands caress your thighs.

“Has anyone ever told you that your rose colored lips and voluptuous thighs are the most exquisite things in the world?” Santiago drawled seductively.

“No, they couldn’t care less.” You sighed sadly.

“Oh my dear, turn that frown upside down! You are the goddess Aphrodite reincarnated, you are Marlene Dietrich and Rita Hayworth combined into one! YOU! ARE! BEAUTIFUL!” Santiago yelled as he took you by the hand.

“Oh, thank you I never realized that.” You blushed while looking at him dreamily.

*time skip*

“God, you’re beautiful.” Santiago breathed heavily as his hair was now tousled along with yours.

“I’m so grateful for you. Let’s just say that Paris has no idea on who they’re messing with.” You grinned all shark like while cuddling up against the blanket just like Santiago was.

Reneé Rapp’s ‘Mean Girls’ Press Tour Spurs Discourse Over Media Training - The New York Times

No. No. Just no. The Mean Girls film is tanking. People got up and walked out. All of this is just more of getting attention for the wrong reason. Megan Thee Stallion is DISGUSTING to me. She really is. I don't want to hear what an actor is, 'so tired of'. Because the fact is, they get paid pretty well. So, basically, we're in the Spoiled Brat Era of the Film Industry. I do not get why younger people think this behavior is cute, sexy or what. It's off-putting and obviously a part of the whole schtick, if the Freemason show, Saturday Night Live wrote it into a skit. I also guarantee one very important thing: Most of these new, young celebrities are being hyped by social media TROLL FARMS...not real fans. So, I would also hazard a guess that this suddenly bad behavior is by design. Again, Hollywood, if you don't want people to come to the theater, just shut it all down NOW!

Hollywood Studios Underestimated Taylor Swift And Are Losing Out On Millions

"Taylor Swift isn't just shaking it off: she's shaking things up in Hollywood with a bombshell deal that has reportedly left studios seething.

The pop icon is bringing her "Eras Tour" concert to theaters on October 13, and has made the radical move of cutting out the middleman — a Hollywood studio distributor like Disney, Paramount, or Universal— and making a deal directly with AMC Theatres to distribute the film on its screens, while also distributing in other theaters via a sub-distribution deal with Variance Films.

Here's why this is such a big deal. Traditionally there are three parties involved in bringing movies to theaters: the producer, the distributor, and the exhibitor. The first two are often housed under the same roof; for example, Disney owns Pixar Animation Studios (a production company) and also distributes Pixar movies by making deals with exhibitors (theaters). Box office ticket sales are then split between the exhibitors and the distributor, with the studio usually taking a bigger cut of opening weekends, and theaters taking a larger percentage later on in a movie's theatrical run.

Up until recently, there was a sharp dividing line between movie studios and theaters: studios were not allowed to own movie theaters, due to a landmark antitrust decision in 1949. But this decision was overturned in 2020, which means that Disney could now theoretically launch a chain of Disney theaters, and an exhibitor like AMC can get into the distribution game.

So, when the Swift family found Hollywood's studios seeking to control the when and where of "Eras Tour" hitting theaters (as is typical of a movie release), they instead turned to AMC Theatres, saying: "I've got a blank space, baby, and I'll write your name."

Intentionally or not, this is a power move, and studios are reportedly angry about it. None of them have really capitalized on the opportunity to own their own movie theaters yet; they've been too focused on launching their streaming services, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic had everyone declaring that the cinematic experience was dead. But movie theaters rose up from the dead (they do it all the time) and have had a triumphant return this summer thanks to the twin powerhouses of "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer."

As the gatekeepers of major movie releases, studios hold a lot of power in this relationship. But, as it turns out, they don't hold any power over Taylor Swift.

According to a report by Puck News, the Swift family hired director Sam Wrench to shoot "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" for a budget of around $10-20 million, and were directly discussing distribution with studios. However, at least one distributor was thinking of a 2025 release, long after the live tour had ended, and the Swifts wanted it to play in theaters alongside the tour. So, they began negotiating directly with AMC Theatres CEO Adam Aron, put together a deal in secret over a number of weeks, and announced it without any of the studios getting a heads-up.

IndieWire reports that there's "major anger" at the studios over being blindsided by this news. According to Puck News, Universal Pictures is "extra-pissed." Not only was the studio considering picking up "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" for distribution, it's now had to move "The Exorcist: Believer" off its cool horror release date of Friday the 13th of October, to avoid getting crushed under Taylor's kitten heel."

Regular Masterlist

“Finally.” You sighed and watched the cloud from your breath be swept away in the chilling wind. “I’m here.”

Your boots sunk into the snow as you slowly trekked through the AMC’s parking lot. You stepped through the doorway of the movie theater, your frosty skin was immediately met with a sea of warmth. Reaching into your jacket pocket, you pulled out your phone and checked the time. ‘9:25, shit,’ you thought to yourself. ‘Five minutes won’t be enough time.’ You walked up to the counter in the middle of the lobby as you slid your phone back into your pocket.

The employee working at the counter seemed to be the only other person in the theater.

‘I guess going to the movie’s once the movie has already started does have its advantages.’

“Good evening,” the woman said, interrupting your train of thought. “How may I help you?”

“Good evening,” you responded. “I’d like a ticket to ‘The Black Phone’ please.” 

The employee grabbed the ticket from under the counter and shuffled a few steps right to the register. She waved you over and said, “That’ll be $13.69, anything else I can get you?”

“No, ma’am. Thank you.” you answered as you took $15 out of your wallet, careful not to drop anything, and handed it to the employee.

“Enjoy your movie!” The employee kindly smiled at you as she handed you your change.

“Thank you! Have a good day!” You smiled back before you walked a few steps away and took your phone out again.

’9:27.’ the lock screen read.

‘Only three minutes, I don’t think I’m going to make the commercials,’ you thought before deciding it would be alright to miss them— after all, how could you watch the movie without getting a duck?! With that in mind, you dashed over to the arcade section of the lobby, straight to your favorite machine.

The rubber duck claw machine was your favorite game because you were always guaranteed to win. Everyone was actually— it’s impossible to lose the game. All you have to do is put in one dollar and, just like a claw machine, you maneuver the device to win your prize. The game had no timer, and won’t stop until you’ve won! All the prizes in the machine were different rubber animals; although, they were mostly rubber ducks in costumes. Since discovering the machine, you’ve made it a habit to get a rubber animal to accompany you to watch the movies.

You squatted down and fed the machine a dollar. As you stood back up the door chimed. A gust of cold wind hit your skin and sent a shiver through your spine. You glanced in that direction and saw two men walk through the door. One was slightly taller with dark brown hair. His face was flushed from the cold and he was blowing into his hands, presumably to warm himself. The other man’s hair was a lighter brown with a hardly noticeable red tint to it. As if he could sense your gaze on him, the shorter one turned his head and met your eyes. He looked you up and down before his friend stole his attention at the counter.

You remembered what you were meant to be doing and refocused on the machine in front of you.

‘Wouldn’t want to miss too much of the movie, better hurry this up,’ you thought as you moved the machine’s arm.

You decided you wanted the rubber duck that looked like a green T. rex and let the claw drop to pick it up.

“Wooo!!” You cheered as the machine picked up the weirdly positioned dinosaur on your first try.

“Clang!” The dinosaur was dropped into the plastic area of the machine. “Clang!”

‘That’s weird… Sounded like it fell twice..?’ you silently questioned.

You opened the compartment and reached your hand in. Sure enough you felt two rubber ducks. Pulling them out, you noticed that the machine had given you two of the same dinosaur ducks. You stared at the second duck in your hand in confusion.

‘It must have been picked up with my dinosaur and I just didn’t notice,’ you deduce. ‘But what should I do with it? I can’t watch the movie with TWO rubber ducks, that’s not right.’

You looked around the lobby and saw the two men, now at the counter paying for their popcorn and tickets. An idea popped into your head and you walked over to them.

“Hi, I’m sorry to interrupt you,” you started. “Long story short, that claw machine over there just gave me two ducks instead of one, so I came over here to give one to you. Paying the luck forwards you know? Anyways, have a good movie!” 

You handed the shorter man the duck and started walking towards your movie theatre.

“Wait!” He lightly grabbed your arm to stop you. Succeeding in his attempt, you turned back around and tilted your head at him, confused.

“Hmm?” you hummed.

“You didn’t give me the chance to say thank you,” he chuckled softly. “My name is Sapnap, this is my friend George.”

“Nice to meet you! I’m Y/N.”

‘He smells good,’ you thought to yourself. ‘What is that smell though? I definitely recognize it.’

“Nice to meet you too, and thanks… for the dinosaur.” Sapnap smiled, looking down at it then back to you.

“No problem! But I’ve got to go, the movie is going to start any second now if it hasn’t already!” you said as you quickly left to go to theater five.

~~

“Are you going to have that stupid smile on your face for the rest of the day?” George asked Sapnap.

“What are you talking about?” Sapnap tried to push down the smile on his face, only for it to peak back through.

“You know exactly what I’m talking about.” George scoffed. “You like them.”

“Quit it, I don’t like them,” Sapnap lied and started walking toward their theater, already late for the movie.

“You’ve talked to them once and now you’re in love!” George shook his head at his friend.

Sapnap rolled his eyes at George. “You’re so stupid. I’ve never been in love… Not seriously— at least”

The two walked on in a comfortable silence until they reached the door of their theater. They walked in and got a few isles down before Sapnap threw out his arm and stopped both of them in their tracks.

“What?” George questioned.

“Is that them over there?” Sapnap pointed at a person sitting in the front row.

“You’re not going to be doing this the whole movie are you?” George crossed his arms over his chest.

“I think it’s them!” Sapnap whispered, walking in their direction.

“Come watch a movie in the theater with me you said, it’ll be fun you said.” George mocked his friend, following a few steps behind him.

I saw AMC just allowed preorders for Shin Kamen Rider tickets today. Are you going to see that in theaters?

Of course! I saw Shin Godzilla and Shin Ultraman (heck I even saw Evangelion 3.0+1.0 a.k.a. Shin Evangelion) in the theatre, I won't break my streak! I hope you get a chance to do the same!

Thanks for the question and Happy Viewing! :)

10 things about stiles that i'm sure i've mentioned before but i wanna talk about him so <3

stiles has a lot of collections. i won't get into all of them but he gets into things very quickly and once he has his own money he is not good at self control. his biggest collection is old technology. he gets really into it when he goes back to play his old gameboy then it kind of just spirals from there.

this goes with the old technology thing kinda but stiles retires pretty early so he opens an old technology trade and repair shop that's also kinda an arcade because he's also a freak about arcades.

this kinda goes with collecting things but he has a baseball from almost every baseball game he's gone to. if it's not from an out of field hit then he probably stole it somehow but that's not my business.

he has to turn the water on when he gets in the shower because if he turns it on before he might get distracted and not get in. he's completely forgotten about it and left it running all day before.

since loving old things seems to be a running theme. yes he will fuck that old woman and that old man.

he really likes to see movies in theaters. if there's a chance for him to see it in theater he will. he also really loves when one is being rereleased in theaters and go see that. and yes he is an amc a stubs lister thank you

his music taste favors his mothers and he finally got her music collection when he moved out. he doesn't listen to them often but he does have them out on display more than his own.

his t shirts are from his dad and no he did not ask before taking them.

he's nervous around animals such as cat and dogs. he has no problem with lizards or snakes though. it's mentioned in the pilot that he owned a snake but i think he owns a bearded dragon sometime throughout the series. he gets another snake when he moves out too.

'first concert was fall out boy with scott. i'm not sure what the age / year the concert was atm but they of course snuck out to go. they also have a photo with pete from a separate time.
