Announcement: New Perks of the AMC Stubs Membership

Movie theaters are finding new ways to get and keep audiences coming back, and the AMC Stubs Rewards program is one of the successful ones, mainly because of the wealth of benefits that joining the club offers. Here are a few of the newest additional perks:

• At every Marvel movie premier, we will expose you to massive amounts of radiation to turn you into a superhero.

• If you don't like the writing of any movie, you can shout "BAD WRITING!", and our dedicated staff of writers will figure out a new scene for you on the spot.

• Sometimes we'll put fully shelled Kola nuts in your popcorn, just to keep you on your toes.

• During screenings of Oscar contenders, we will hire someone to sit next to you and poke you to make sure you stay awake.

• If she's around, actress Madeline Stowe will answer any questions you may have about any movies that have her in it (no autographs or photos please).
