HOW TO TUESDAY

Hello ladies and gents this is the viking telling you that we are talking about.

5 TIPS FOR HOSTING "THE  MOVIE NIGHT" 

1. CHOOSE YOUR FILM WISELY

Your movie night is going to live or die on the strength of your cinematic selection. So be smart and be bold. Put some forethought into your program. Who’s the audience? Is this a girls’ night, a family gathering, or an evening for might-as-well-be-film-critics? Brainstorm some obvious choices first, then try for a twist.

 If you usually go for rom-coms with your girls, why not pick a rom-com/action mash-up like 2005’s Mr. and Mrs Smith ? (Directed by the recent Edge of Tomorrow‘s Doug Liman.) If you’ve got kids in the room, why not revisit one of your childhood favorites (E.T.? Newsies? Wizard of Oz?) instead of a more recent family flick?

2. READ THE ROOM

Even if you’ve carefully evaluated your audience and found The Perfect Choice, know when to switch things up at the last minute. The other night, I had a random group of friends over, and we were committed to watching either Nebraska or Philomena  And then the night came, and we were all feeling a bit silly. We joked around over popcorn for way too long and finally wound our way around to movie time…wherein we ditched everything and went for A League of Their Own

3. MAKE POPCORN

So what if it’s cliché? It’s what The People want. Make more than you think anybody will ever eat (because they will)

4. KEEP IT CUSHY

You don’t have to have rows of luxe recliners to keep your guests comfortable. Just make sure you have a stack of floor pillows and blankets on hand.

5. PLAN FOR TALK TIME

The very best part of movie nights (OK, aside from the popcorn), is the discussion after the show. Remember to start your movie early enough that people will have time to stick around when it’s over. Turn the lights on, bring the snacks back out, refill people’s drinks, and dive right in.

I hope you like this post it was a lil different inspired by a few close friends who are organising this very event haha ill bring some chips and as always have a chilled day from the viking.
