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.

My favorite part of seeing Get Out was overhearing an old white lady say to her friend

"What was that even about?"

And that was the moment I realized a few things

Important things

That's the exact face I made to my friend Bong too

The end when the cop showed up and the theater collectively gasped and let out "Oh no"'s was one of my favorite theater social experiences of all time. It delivered the exact feeling Peele wanted to deliver. In any other horror movie, the average movie goer would have a "thank goodness they're here" feeling, but in this movie, it elicited the opposite reaction, and we all had that realization at the same time lol. chef's kiss

It was such an amazing moment tbh. The dread that set in, the realization of like "ooooohhhh fuck" and then the relief.

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

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

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago

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.

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

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago

How much Ryan Reynolds being Ryan Reynolds dialog do you really need to hear.

[–] Facky@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Honestly there should be showings with subtitles.

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

At many theatres, every showing is a showing with subtitles. You can just ask at the front for a closed caption device. It'll either be a mirror to reflect the closed caption display at the back, a set of smart glasses that show the subtitles, or a little display on a stick.

[–] Facky@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

That's pretty cool

[–] thethirdgracchi@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

In some places there are. By city mandate NYC has open caption showings; they're wonderful, and I always try to book them if available for the movie I want to see. I watch everything with subtitles if possible! Look for showings with "open captions", and that just means they're subtitled even if in English.

[–] Facky@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

That's interesting

[–] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

I fucking wish. I don't even have hearing problems but some of the dialogue can be so difficult to understand at times.

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

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

Using alcohol (and a beard, usually) as a personality substitute already seems like a desperate need to hide any possible emotional vulnerability, including shared experiences.

Even the sunglasses. "I am an emotionally constipated impenetrable wall of spite and contempt." jagoff

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

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

[–] Des@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

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

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

When Samwise explained what PO TAY TOES were to Gollum, the audience was laughing around me, and so was I.

It was a precious moment.

[–] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

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
