Dear AMC Movie Theatre,

Dear My Beloved AMC Theatre Located in Rosemont, 

Hello! Hi! How are you! You are desperately missed! Quarantine has ripped us away, and now we are here seeing if there will be more days added to our distance apart. The amount of smiles, laughter, tears, and excitement you brought to people exceed astounding numbers. I understand you're a special place because us moviegoers can’t stop coming back; you fill up a space in our hearts like no other movie theatre does. Cinemark does not even compare to you. HA! You bring inclined seats, seat warmers, countless rewards, constant great experiences, and DOLBY CINEMA! Dolby is an experience like no other that brings even more defined movies. I bring up these points with my friends, and I still get the same stale answer: “Cinemark is better.” The utter disrespect in those three words make my stomach sick. What makes me sicker is what will happen if quarantine continues. 

If we continue on this self-quarantining path, I’m afraid you will not survive this pandemic. It scares me that you won’t be there when I want to cry out my feelings to a sad dog movie or laugh till I can’t breathe at a superhero movie. I am not saying quarantine is bad, but I’m trying to say that your establishments will close all around the United States. Both of us can’t have that! If your theatre turns into a Monkey Island, I will go BANANAS! Prepubescent teenagers will destroy your decorated walls and your expensive bathrooms; they will tear up everything that makes you a majestic theatre. There is nothing I can do but just sit on my couch and just watch episodes of Nailed it! on Netflix. It is hilarious, and I get a kick out of it watching bakers fail making fondant dogs. I would rather kick back on your recliner seats and watch a good old movie. Besides the point, I’m bored as hell! 

What made you even more special is that you brought my family even more closer. To relieve some stress and escape our reality of financial burden, we would go see a movie about a blue hedgehog running around making stupid jokes. These kinds of days are forever cherished; I remember us laughing non stop and my dad choking on popcorn kernels. You created some memories that will last for forever, and I hope you know that. Another incredible memory is when the last Avengers movie came out and the whole fanbase was dying to see it. I anxiously waited all day for the moment when the title screen would roll in. I vividly remember sitting in that dark theatre with random strangers who were probably more excited than me. The sheer energy that radiated in that room was intoxicating! I will always remember that night as we all experienced an awesome movie.

Now, where will this letter go? Well your establishment is closed, and I am stuck at home eating goldfish. I’m really missing your popcorn just about now. No one could replicate that amazing taste. Well, boxed popped corn can, but that’s not the point! 

In conclusion, thank you. Thank you for being an awesome theatre and for making life more fun. You are awesome.

Sincerely, 

Aaron <3
