Movie Theatre Therapy

What if you could, would, should find happiness, lose weight, stop drinking, stop doing drugs, and bring order to the chaos of your life, all just by going to a movie theatre each week and watching a movie? It could happen. I am not making any promises, but it could happen. You should try it. There is no scientific study that supports my belief. But still, you should try going to a movie each week inside a movie theatre and watch a movie and see if your life might get better. There is not much to lose, and no harm in doing so. The popcorn and Junior Mints are waiting for you. Get yourself to the movie theatre, right now! I explain below why I think this experiment will work for you. I give you my theory of the subjunctive. I give you my analysis of our culture. I tell you about your brain and your thoughts, and your need to take a break. But, do not just take my word for it, just get yourself to a movie theatre, at least once per week, and prove it to yourself.

Movie theatres could create world peace, too. If you might want to solve the constant crisis in the Middle East, you just need to build more movie theatres in the troubled lands and allow the people there to see all the new movies for free. Same goes for Afghanistan and Iraq, more movie theatres are needed. North Korea needs more movie theatres! Do you want to make Russian President Vladimir Putin friendlier to the USA, just figure out a way to get him to a movie theatre and allow him to see all the great movies before they are released to the general public. Whenever you find a place where the people are unhappy, that is the place where you need to build movie theatres.

Warning: This ebook is about finding happiness. But, the ideas contained in these words are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or heal any medical condition. This ebook is merely a metaphysical and philosophical experiment. My theory is that movie theatres are the best place to seek your own personal therapy. I want you to put down your self-help books, take a timeout, run away from all the stressors in your life, and go directly to a movie theatre, eat too much popcorn, drink a large drink from a large drink cup (extra large is only a quarter more), and absorb the pure genius of moviemaking that is represented on the movie screen. Movies will make you happy. Just let it happen. So, as soon as possible, please read this psychedelic psychobabble, then get going to the movies!
