How to Stay Cool When It’s So Hot You Want to Die
Movies
Is there anything more evocative of summer than shivering in an icy movie theater when watching the latest blockbuster? Movie theaters are a surefire arctic escape from the sweltering sidewalks. But you don’t want to see just anything, do you? Of course not. You want to see something popcorn-y and thrilling because you’re desperate for light entertainment, but you also want to see something that doesn’t star Will Smith, because you’re not that desperate. Luckily, Nitehawk Cinema has a lot of choices for you in the coming months, including Spaceballs, Young Frankenstein, Ghostbusters, and, on the 4th of July, Jaws. So go laugh or scream or even both in a dark, cool room and feel like you’re ten-years-old again and watching Jurassic Park on the big screen, shivering with cold because your hair was still wet against your neck from swimming all day and shivering with fear because those velociraptors are fucking terrifying. The only difference is that now you’re an adult and can drink alcohol while watching your movie. So everything is better now, it really is.
