...There’s, like, a gift bag that [is included] which is filled with things that you do during the course of the film,” says Hinkle. “There are bubbles that happen at different places in the film, and you chew gum at certain times, and the bubble gum smell fills the theatre. The goodie bag is filled with all these fun things to make the film more interactive.”It’s these sort of group experiences that Dickerson hopes to foster through Smell-O-Vision.“It?...

Coupland writes his characters into a perpetual...
...Hershiser also recommends that pitchers wet their cotton underwear, since the water can seep through your pants. "It's like having a sponge out there," he says. Carrying a stick of sugarless gum in your back pocket can also help. Chewing gum creates saliva, which also helps your grip in the cold. "Lick your fingers, and wipe them off on your pants," says Hershiser. "But make it a fake wipe." But wait, isn't that a spitball? Hershiser says everyone does it, and the umpires let it go in the cold. "Look, you're just looking to recreate a normal...
