User: I can't decide if I should go to see Zombieland 2 or the Joker. Which would you suggest?
Assistant: Is there a mood you would like to get out of this movie or a certain occasion you're choosing to watch it?
User: Well, it's around Halloween time so i'd like something at least a little dark and maybe scary. However my boyfriend doesn't like scary movies so he wants to keep it light. I want something that will work for both of us.
Assistant: The Joker is listed under drama/thriller and Zombieland 2 is listed under zombie/action. Which of these 2 do you think better suits each of your needs?
User: I really love zombie movies. I've watched so many from dawn of the dead to shawn of the dead. I don't think they're very scary but I do love dystopian worlds and zombie movies essentially take the cake on that. I'm not a fan of movies that are incredibly long though. I often have a hard time paying attention and I get tired after awhile. Can you check the length of both of these movies?
Assistant: Of course. Zombieland is 1 hour and 39 minutes and Joker is 2 hours and 2 minutes.
User: This information makes me lean more towards Zombieland.. I also just noticed a different movie called Dr. Sleep. The title looks enticing, can you tell me a little bit about what that movie is?
Assistant: Here is the synopsis of Dr. Sleep: "Struggling with alcoholism, Dan Torrance remains traumatized by the sinister events that occurred at the Overlook Hotel when he was a child. His hope for a peaceful existence soon becomes shattered when he meets Abra, a teen who shares his extrasensory gift of the "shine." Together, they form an unlikely alliance to battle the True Knot, a cult whose members try to feed off the shine of innocents to become immortal."
User: That sounds like it includes a lot of action as well as some scary elements! This might be perfect for my boyfriend and I. Can you tell me any additional info?
Assistant: Dr. Sleep is labeled under the category of Fantasy/thriller and is based on a book by Stephen King. It is 2 hours and 33 minutes long.
User: That's a little long.. But stephen King always manages to give me the creeps with movies. He relies less on jump scares and deals more with psychological scares which i personally really enjoy from a movie. I like walking out of a movie feeling freaked out by the dark parking lot. Can you tell me what the show times are for a theatre near me?
Assistant: Tomorrow, October 30th, there are 2 showings available at Crossroads Cinema and Pickerington Cinema. Both showtimes start at 7:00 pm.
User: Great! I think that's what I'll go see with my boyfriend and it will be perfect in time for Halloween. I've heard a lot of people love Stephen King's work so even if my boyfriend gets scared, I'll just tell him it's from a classic.
Assistant: Stephen King indeed has a vast amount of books that he has written, the majority being horror novels. He is world renown for his work so it is typically highly recommended.
User: Great, thank you!
Assistant: You're welcome.
