I have been told by more than a few friends and family that watching a movie with me can be an intense experience. While I hope that I am not as intense as Jeremy Allen White's Carmy in The Bear, I found myself relating to the chef's attempts in The Bear season 3 in creating a list of non-negotiables for how he wants things done to create the best version of his restaurant. That inspired me to come up with my own list of "non-negotiables" for watching a movie, both when you are at home or out at the movie theater.
