There are tons of ways to watch movies, and as the summer draws near, free time and new movies are coming along with it. But what is the best way for an SHS student to see these movies? Of course you could see movies in the theaters, or maybe even On Demand with your family gathered ‘round, but there are many better ways to do it.

It may seem old-fashioned, but there’s actually quite a few drive-ins here in Massachusetts; two to be exact. So if you enjoy driving between fifty and eighty miles so you can remain in your car and watch a movie, you’re in luck.

Maybe road trips aren’t your style, maybe you don’t have your license, maybe you’re blind, no matter. What matters is that there are movies you need to see and you need to see them now. So how do you enjoy a good summer film at home?

Junior James Naclerio said “I like to watch movies in comfy clothes, eating a burrito or sunflower seeds.”

Comfort is extremely important  to the movie-viewing process, if you aren’t content before the movie begins, you’re likely to not enjoy the experience at all. Students here at SHS take excessive pride in being able to create their own comfortable situations for watching movies.

Sophomore Frank Crowley said, “I like to cuddle up with my Spongebob stuffed animal, and if it’s a scary movie I like to watch it while wearing shutter shades.”

Students aren’t the only ones with unusual movie-watching methods. SHS geometry teacher Mrs. McGlynn said, “Over winter break I blew up an air mattress and watched a movie despite there being two perfectly good couches in the room.”

You may not necessarily need to perform such odd practices when you watch a movie this summer, but it is highly recommended. Trailblazing your own movie-watching rituals is an excellent way to enhance any entertainment experience.
