英文小乐趣

Here's VideoJug's guide on how to go on a perfect date to the movies. Be part of your very own blockbuster with our tips on how to have fun at the cinema.

Step 1: That film you want to see 你想看的电影

It's important to go to the flicks with your new partner early on, so you can be sure they are able to stop talking when required. If they can't keep quiet, it's important to find out now.

If you're still trying to impress, then you may pretend to want to see certain films to make yourself seem sophisticated and intellectual. Out of politeness, your new partner might agree. The result is you both sit through some arthouse nonsense full of subtexts and juxtapositions..

Forget that! Be honest, then you could see Stallone in Rock Hard 4, or Clooney in that new comedy Touch My Tookas.

Step 2: How to decide 如何决定

Step 3: Snacks 小吃

Sometime, somewhere a movie mogul decided that popcorn should be the movie snack of choice. He was an idiot, because it is the loudest food in the world, rendering whole lines of dialogue inaudible for you- and your date. If you must have it, try and shovel it all in before the main feature starts. Or your date will hate you.

The other paradox about popcorn is that it can only be eaten attractively in single pieces, but is only tasty in mouthfuls. So to appreciate it you are going to look disgusting. All in all, ice cream is a far better bet for a date.

Step 4: Bigness 大体积

Get rid of that big hat, or big hair. Few things are more annoying than an
