Picture this: It’s a beautiful day outside. Your classes have been going well and you were able to spend time with your friends and relax. It’s a good day. All of a sudden, you get a notification saying your grade for that one exam was posted. You open the Canvas app to find that you didn’t get the grade you were hoping for, and now your day is ruined.

This summer, I dragged my mom to The Clairidge—a single screen movie theater in Montclair, New Jersey—for a matinee of Alexander Payne’s “Election.” The theater was featuring a series, titled “Clash of the Claridge Classics: 1939 vs 1999,” in which the audience could watch two films from the respective years and vote for their favorite.
