VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Shiela: Arnold’s large loft space is perfect for entertaining. Usually we just hang out on his sofa but for this movie night, I thought it would be fun to create a beach setting in Arnold’s living room to go along with the movie’s theme. Arnold’s brown sofa didn’t exactly go with my beach theme so I decided to cover it with blue lycra that was a $1.99 a yard and these striped beach towels made great bolster pillows. Next I tried to create a more intimate area on the vast wooden floor. I’m using these grass mats to dress up the floor. These were $10 a piece and I found them in Chinatown. These would also work really well if you decided to do an outdoor movie night. Now a beach or even an indoor one would not be complete without somewhere to cool off so here’s my idea for an ocean. A collapsible kiddie pool with a few of my own touches to play along with the movie theme. Help, lifeguard please. And my version of stadium seating, the collapsible beach chair. I also have party favors for all of my movie going friends, a pair of flipflops, a striped beach towel bolster and the all important treat for the night Swedish fish. Fish, sharks, jaws, get it? Every movie night needs munchies so I’ve planned a special menu of self served goodies on a buffet table that gets the seaside treatment. For my Jaws movie party, I wanted everything to be really easy but I wanted it to have sort of a beachy theme to it both in terms of the food as well as the design. The first thing I got was simple popcorn that you can buy in the bag so that it didn’t take me any time to make. I got these and I also served them in a little child’s bucket which I think is really cute. Next on the menu is sushi of course and I’ve served it on resin platters and used sand to give it a little bit of hype. And one of my favorite things to eat while I’m at the beach are lobster rolls. These took me less than 15 minutes to make and they taste great and the highlight of this movie night is my take on the martini. The sharktini. I didn’t want to have to be a bartender all night so I put my sharktinis in this fish bowl so that everybody can come and take their own sharktini and shake it up. Look at that sharktini, drink at your own risk. Perfect. My friend Arnold is just about home. Wait till he sees how I’ve turned our ordinary movie rental night into an experience to remember. So Arnold what do you think about what I’ve done with the place? Arnold: I can't believe I have a beach in my house. Sheila: Did you hear that, is that a shark alert? Arnold: No Sheila, that was the doorbell. Sharktini anyone. Here you go Nancy. Female: What time does the movie start? Sheila: Here’s to a good movie night. Take your shoes off and come on the beach. Midway through the movie, my guests were ready to sink their jaws into something sweet. My idea, store bought ice cream sandwiches with blood red raspberry puree that anyone can make. Male: Sheila, I have to tell you this has been a super movie night and we had a ball so thank you so much.
