The greatest in-theater experience I've ever felt was the collective bloodlust against the white family at the end of Get Out. It was glorious. Never again will I hear massive cheers as a black man bashes in the head of a pretty white woman attempting to scoop out his brain. Felt like we were in a riot. Granted this is a perfect example of Mark Fisher's idea that capitalism can co-opt revolutionary energy and sell it back to you etc etc.

I will never forget some nerd killjoy complaining about people singing along at a concert.

Like... fuckoff, buddy. Fuck you. Go listen at home.

If you want to watch a movie without any interfearance from other people watch it at home and shut the fuck up don't willfully go watch a movie with 200 other people and then complain that there were other people watching the movie at the same time as you.

On the flip side if you are in a room with 200 other people who paid to watch a movie put your fucking phone away and shit the fuck up talking to your friends about shit that isn't the movie.

I am an enlightened centrist.

If you go to marvel slop, this should be expected.

Well I'd like to hear the movie dialog, not people cheering and yelling at people on screen.

Went to the opening of DBZ Resurrection F and a ton of people showed wearing DBZ merch and saying "sup gohan" to random strangers. Normally theater noise bugs me, but for that kind of movie, you bet everyone was yelling kamehameha along with Goku.

For movies that aren’t just brainrot fun where it really doesn’t matter, I am so lucky to live in a city with a great local movie theater community where people will generally respect each other’s experience. Will still sometimes get people talking or checking their phones, but nothing like mainstream theaters where people couldn’t give a shit about anyone around them

Pure kino.

I have not experienced yankees clapping in the theater or plane, or worse, singing on the plane. But I would definitely wish to beat the shit out of people who do

don't ever let these people go to a hardcore or metal show

Nah hearing the crowd react is like, the best part of seeing a movie in the theater. I love to share experiences with other people, great stuff

This is something literally only Americans do.

This might come at a surprise to burgers but you can get excited about something without hollering like a baboon.

It's the worst when people get up to go to the bathroom. Wear a diaper like a true cinema fan
