The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 212
Wha wha wha whaaaat! Another retro movie weekend so soon? Well okay!
Like one of the most experienced and battle-hardened secret agents, we find ourselves getting geared up for another undercover mission in a far and strange land. As we pack only the very essential essentials, we'll begin to wonder who we will become and which new world we will be infiltrating to find out the biggest kept secrets. Perhaps we'll be a doctor? A potential investor or perhaps a waiter? Whoever we'll soon become, we will be leaving our current life and self behind in search of the facts, if only for a while.
Have a happy retro weekend!

TruffleShuffle.com X Sunset Cinema!
Hey you guys!
So, perhaps some of you eager Beavers recently spotted that last Friday, we had the amazing privilege of sponsoring Sunset Cinema's Bristol showing of one of THEEEE greatest films ever.... The Goonies!
So what were we doing there?? Well, not only are we always up for a chance to see this 80s epic adventure, but we were also there to hand out goodies to movie goers, run a little competition to win some amazing prizes and generally have a good night with everyone all while wearing our finest exclusive Goonies TShirts of course. Be rude not to right?
Taking place at the gem of a location Bristol's Ashton Court, our task was simple....hand out a good few hundred bags of official TruffleShuffle.com popcorn to the plenty of hungry movie goers.
Handing out as many of these free bags of sweet goodness as we could possibly carry, it was so great to talk to fellow 80s lovers and of course Goonies mad fans. Take a peep at some of the action...

Raindrops and roses! Another retro movie weekend is here and boy are we excited!
As the eager movies goers begin to appear and take positions, the excitement will begin to rise as we inch closer to the opening moment with every passing second. Getting comfortable, food and drinks at the ready, we'll wait in anticipation for the big white screen to light up and take us away to far and distant lands packed with adventure. We'll boo the baddies and cheer the heroes as we briefly escape the real world to a place where anything is possible.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Sweet potato pie! Another retro movie weekend is before us and....well...what a treat it is!
So like a battle torn and sea life hardened Pirate, we find ourselves standing before a overflowing chest of treasure. Stacked high with gems, gold and silver, we'll dream of all the amazing things that our plunder will bring us before safely stashing it in our super-secret hiding place. Will we ever return to get it back and will it still be there if we do? Time will tell.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Crisps and dips! It's Retro Movie Rundown O'Clock!
So with an entire weekend of classic movie goodness topped with some more modern releases icing, we find ourselves once again stashing up on all the essentials needed to complete our movie mission; milk in the fridge (for cereal and tea making abilities), big soft duvet, chocolate for obvious reasons and of course a whoooooole bunch of time and quiet....which is usually where things fall apart. With all these things in place, it's time to draw the curtains, unplug the phone (is that still a thing?) and dive into the weekends movies! See you there.
Have a happy retro weekend!

TruffleShuffle's Top 'Movie Logic' Moments.
So we love movies..... mean we REALLY love movies! We have the simply amazing pleasure to talk about movies each and every day amongst ourselves and with all you guys on our social media pages and profiles and we still never tire of them. Whether it's reminiscing about the films we watched growing up (and still watch of course) or perhaps the films that are being released now or in the future, getting our fill of film goodness is part of the job when we've tasked ourselves with providing some of THEEE best movie merchandise online. It's a chore... we know!
As much as we do love films (have we mentioned?), there are plenty of things about them which seem weirdly so much not like actual life. Naturally dramatic effect and creative inspiration are some of the best parts of any film, however some things have perhaps been around the block a few times and have become... well... expected even when they don't really make any sense.
So! To highlight some of these little things we've noticed over our years, we put together some of our favourite 'Movie Logic' moments. Enjoy!
> Big industrial lights make a loud noise when they turn on...
Chunk! Chunk! Chunk! as they light up the giant open space in sequence. We have a warehouse and sadly this just doesn't happen, no matter how hard we try. They all turn on at one with perhaps a very slight hum. Booooooring!
