User: Hey, I remember you saying that you wanted to go to the movies this weekend with your boyfriend. Would you mind if I made a recommendation?
Assistant: I wouldn't mind at all! There are a lot of great movies out now, and it can be overwhelming trying to pick just one.
User: Great! What genre of movies do you normally enjoy?
Assistant: Oh, that's tough. It's easier to say what I don't like, really- I'm not a big fan scary movies. My boyfriend likes action, but I'd want to watch something with a little bit of romance.
User: How do you feel about twists in the plotline, like the reveal at the end of The Sixth Sense?
Assistant: I love surprise endings as long as there's enough foreshadowing. I hate feeling like the screenwriter is just trying to pull a fast one, but if it's something that I could reasonably figure out, there's nothing better than a clever twist.
User: Okay, would something along the lines of The Illusionist work for you then? It's got romance and drama, but the plot takes some unexpected turns, and the costuming is incredible.
Assistant: I don't think my boyfriend would like it. He's not a big fan of period films. The only one he's enjoyed was The King's Speech, and I think that was only because of the World War Two history mixed in.
User: You mentioned not liking scary movies; what about them don't you like?
Assistant: I hate jumpscares. They're lazy and unimaginative. They're the cheapest way to be scary. I don't mind gore, violence, or atmospheric scares, but jumpscares are just the worst.
User: I agree. That's why I couldn't even make it through The Bye-Bye Man last year. If horror wasn't the main genre, and the movie didn't have jumpscares, would you consider seeing a movie that some people would say is scary?
Assistant: I'd have to know a little bit more about it to say for certain, but I'm interested. If I can also mention again, I really enjoy a good romantic subplot.
User: Have you ever seen Warm Bodies? It's kind of like a take on Romeo and Juliet, but Romeo is a zombie and Juliet isn't. It's a comedy, but it has some horror-themed action scenes to keep you on the edge of your seat. It's also got the traditional Romeo and Juliet forbidden romance angle, but it's set in modern day- if modern day had a zombie outbreak.
Assistant: It sounds interesting, but I'm not sure my boyfriend would want to see a Romeo and Juliet remake.
User: Just let him know that it's got plenty of zombie-killing violence, wicked humor, and a killer soundtrack. There's a surprise that I don't want to spoil about 85% through the movie that caught me off guard but really made the film great. I promise there's enough action he'll love it, and enough of everything else for you to enjoy it too.
Assistant: You know, I think I will give it a shot. Thanks!
