AMC Theatres Silence is Golden "Soar Commercial"

Hey there, movie buffs and popcorn lovers! Quill here, the porcupine from AMC Theatres’ “Silence Is Golden - Soar” cinema advert. Yeah, that's right – the spiky star himself! You probably know me best from that legendary advert where I had to endure the tragic yet hilarious sight of my best friend, an eagle, tumbling into a volcano. Let's just say he didn’t soar, he sizzled. And what did we get out of it? One well-done eagle, perfect for a bizarre Thanksgiving dinner!

Let’s talk about that advert, shall we? Picture this: You’re all cozy in your theatre seat, popcorn in hand, maybe a soft drink by your side. The lights dim, the screen brightens, and there I am, strutting my quills like it’s the red carpet. You see, it's not every day you get to star in a commercial that tells people to shush in the most dramatic way possible. AMC Theatres nailed it by casting yours truly, because let’s face it, who better to deliver a message about the importance of silence than a porcupine who’s all about making points?

Now, let’s address the elephant – or should I say the turkey – in the room. There I was, minding my own business, when suddenly, my best buddy, Mr. Eagle, goes all Icarus and flies a bit too close to a volcano. Next thing you know, he’s the main course for some twisted Thanksgiving feast. And speaking of Thanksgiving, why do we always gobble up turkeys? What’s so special about those gobblers? If you ask me, eagles might be a bit gamey, but they’d surely shake up the menu.

Imagine a Thanksgiving where you carve into a golden-brown eagle. Majestic, right? Plus, it’d be a fitting tribute to those daring enough to take flight near a volcano. Not to mention, it would make for some interesting dinner conversation. “Hey, Aunt Susie, pass the eagle drumstick, would ya?” And for dessert? We’d still keep the pumpkin pie – some traditions shouldn’t be messed with.

But let’s get real. Even though my friend ended up as a crispy critter, eagles aren’t exactly Thanksgiving fare. Turkeys are safe because, well, they’re easier to catch, less likely to peck your eyes out, and they don’t symbolize freedom or anything majestic like that. Plus, they’ve been the star of the show since the Pilgrims decided they were easier to hunt than, say, porcupines.

In the end, whether it's a turkey or an eagle, what matters is being thankful. Thankful for family, friends, and the simple joy of a good movie. And let’s not forget to be thankful for silence during those movies – because nothing ruins a blockbuster like someone yapping away on their phone. So, next time you’re at AMC Theatres, remember my story. Keep it quiet, enjoy the show, and maybe give a nod to my brave, albeit crispy, eagle buddy.

Until next time, stay sharp, stay silent, and soar high (but not too close to the volcanoes).
