The movie reaches its climax, you don’t know how its going to end but you are invested now. You pay the check and walk your date home, nervously considering the possibilities of heading upstairs with them when they play with their keys at the doors. Characters are given names, relationships their backstories. Conversations about jobs, family, all the background setting the stage for the rest of the night. You sit on the couch, turn on the television and settle into the first five minutes, deciding whether or not you are going to commit to a full 2 hours of this movie. You meet up, shake hands and make your first impression, deciding whether or not this person is worth the $50 steak they are about to order. You might bring flowers for you date to set the mood the same way that popcorn precedents a movie. Movies are the same way, you watch the trailer to check out the goods. Before you meet up with your date you might stalk them on Facebook or creep on their twitter.
