I was escorted out of a movie once.

The movie was called Quarantine. I don't remember if there were, but I don't remember any warnings before going to see the movie or when the movie started. So anyways there's a lot of flashing in the movie and I had multiple seizures.

That movie series was awesome. I'm sorry that it aggravated your medical condition. That sucks.

Thanks. On a plus side I can share this silver lining (because I think we should all look for the silver lining). So the people I was with said me having a seizure made that movie far scarier 😂. None of them were expecting that (to be fair, neither was I).

I had one seizure as a kid (febrile) and one very brief one as an adult. I had been awake for like 26-27 hours at this point. I went to work really early the night before and worked all the way through the day and finally went home around 10. My friends wanted to midnight release the second transformers movie so I went too. There was a trailer for one of the Harry Potter movies with a dementor flying over a city. I remember my eyes rolling back and convulsing for about 6-7 seconds. My buddy next to me looked at me and said, "dude what the fuck was that?" I responded with, "I don't know, I think I just had a seizure." We watched the movie I fell asleep, didn't like it that much.
