Theater Experiences

Man it was awesome. I had just closed the coffee shop I was working at and it was like 930 at night so I was really surprised they didn't shut it down. I would have been bummed if they did but also I would have understood. It was the smaller theater in town so I guess they just didn't want the bad publicity? Maybe they knew me and since I was real nice to all the theater people they let me stay? I dunno but either way it was hands down the best theater experience I ever had.

Who were you, Scream screamer? Why did you do it?

eventually she broke up with him so the nightmare ended. worst theater experience of my life

The first time I saw Pirates of the Caribbean the sound died right at the start of the moonlight on deck scene when Elizabeth sees them all as skeletons. Two guys in the back of the theater improvised voices for her and Barbossa while he was chasing her. The theater allowed this to go on for the entire scene before restarting in another room.

I’ve been sat on twice.

>watch endgame with bro

mfw not sure if i ruined the ending for entire theatre or red-pilled them on marvel cringe
later that evening Yea Forums full of audience reactions of people going wild at that part kek not in my screening

Oh yeah
>Saw Cap Marvel
>Wake one night, different friend group
>Let’s see it again, user
>Fall asleep most of the way through

There’s a small theater I go to where I have been the only person three times in a row now. Maybe it helps I was seeing Batman, X, and Ambulance but it’s so good.

Didn’t happen but, fight your brother and beat him

>See The Raid alone in an empty theater

Do people literally not look up a movie they’re about to see?

>I’ve been sat on twice.
do americans really?

I should've just worked at fucking McDonald's.

Boomers (and prior) are used to sneaking in, getting to watch a few short films beforehand, getting a intermission with proper snacks and better ice cream. With only a few foreign films, it’s a recent thing.

Oh this actually just happened this week.

>Go to see Everywhere All At Once or whatever the hell it's called with wife and another couple
>Slammed a few beers before the show, we head to the bathroom first
>Some early 20s girl is walking out of the ladies room

>Assume she mixed Xanax and booze or something
>Theater employees are useless, give us a bottle of water and scatter to leave us with this fucked up chick
>I go to the bathroom
>By the time I come back the girl is sitting up drinking water, surprisingly lucid
>She said she was sober and nothingnlike that has ever happened to her before.
>Wife leaves to go pee, I stand like a sperg with this girl as she stares at her phone
>Only thing I can manage to say is "one time when I was on acid I saw a guy have a seizure at a train station and had to call the cops"
>She tries to smile but can't
>Go wait for my wife by the concession stands

I think I just witnessed the first incident of a serious medical condition that will likely destroy that girls life. Movie was good

Theaters are basically 2 hour sleepaway camps.

>go to see some movie by myself i can't remember what it was
>20 min walked to the theatre it was cold as shit
>hungry kind of in a bad mood just wanna chill watch kino
>theatre fills up completely
>everything annoying me for some reason
>person sits next to me and can't stop sniffling and sneezing
>just get up and walk out dont even bother to ask for a refund
>walk home in the cold

another satisfied vaccine customer

It was really bright in the theater lobby so people’s eyes hadn’t adjusted

At least once or twice I've laughed loudly at something in a movie theater that wasn't intended as npc humour (bad effects or some shit), so no one else was laughing, just me

living in a third world cuntry sometimes i see myself laughing at jokes that many dont get sometimes

>>Only thing I can manage to say is "one time when I was on acid I saw a guy have a seizure at a train station and had to call the cops"
>>She tries to smile but can't
She was cringing at your autist story.

>She tries to smile but can't
Isn’t that an unironic sign of a stroke?

That's hilarious. Probably improved the movie.

I think this user is closer, she was trying but unable to be polite at my absolutely futile attempt to lighten the mood, she was visibly disturbed and I didnt know what to say, my wife did all the talking to her, and besides, I had to hurry to catch the latest zany A24 kino so I couldn't sit around to figure it out.

I must have been 9. It was the funniest thing I had ever experienced at that point and probably still is. Clearly I still think about it.

>Pirates of the Caribbean
>restarting in another room
Weird. When I went to see one of the Pirates movies we all sat in the dark for like 5min past when the movie should have started. Someone went out to ask what was going on. Turns out they were playing it in the wrong room and we all had to move over to there.

>t was the funniest thing I had ever experienced at that point and probably still is

I sure hope you're only in your 20s..

>Curse of the Black Pearl
>showings are cursed
BRAVO VERBINSKI

Let this be a lesson to you and anyone else reading this, getting paid minimum wage means you steal anything that isn’t nailed down. I stole 10 boxes of Monopoly cups from McDonald’s and ate for free for the next 5 years. Minimum wage is a license to steal. Movie theaters are good because there’s a brisk aftermarket for movie posters.

Yeah something like that. I have a pretty boring life.

At least you're not stupid like me. I mean, you already told me you were 9 when you saw a movie that came out about ten years ago, so yeah, you're talking to a real rocket doctor here.

It was 2001 wasn’t it? I’m wizard years old now.

every time

2003 (just checked)

I'm shipping off to the military the next day, so suddenly I just get this feeling of melancholy, like my life is ending. I go online and just start talking to random girls, I just feel so lonely. I find this one, and immediately ask if she wants to go out or something, she says yes. I pick her up, she's attractive, blonde, but kinda trashy, looks like she may have been an addict at some, but I don't care. I take to her to a steakhouse and I buy her a huge meal, I barely eat. I kind of don't like her, but I dont want to be alone, so I ask if she wants to see a movie or something. We drive through this totally deserted mall parking lot, at night. There's two feet of snow everywhere, and it's below zero, everybody is at home, nobody in their right mind wants to go out. We go to the theater, there's not any lights on inside, but the marquee is all lit up. I knock on the door, and a guy in a uniform comes by and says, "Hey, we don't keep any money around!" I tell him we just want to see a movie. He looks really surprised, and opens the door. "Really...?" He asks.

We start looking at the signs, studying the show times, and he looks at us weirdly. "Hey uh, it's just you guys here," he says. "So...I'll just play whatever you want, whenever you want."

The girl wants popcorn, he looks concerned. "Oh, well, i haven't had the machine fired up all day, that might take a while," he says, but she insists, he shrugs and says fine. While we're waiting for that, we just wander around this giant, like 20 screen, totally empty movie theater. She kisses me at one point, I'm not crazy about it, i think she's just feeling sorry for me because she can tell I'm kind of depressed.

We get the popcorn and get into the theater, the guy is talking to us from the projector booth, saying sorry it's so cold, the heat hasn't been on all day. She wraps herself around me, and we basically snuggle and watch About Schmidt in a freezing, empty movie theater.

Anyhow, take heart, young man. I'm in my mid 40s and I've literally seen monsters (sorry, they exist, but some are nice) and let me tell you, seeing that shit and then dealing with regular day to day stuff will make you laugh Haaaaaaaard.
So pay attention and live more and you'll have plenty of reasons to laugh like the madman you think I am.

>I knock on the door, and a guy in a uniform comes by and says, "Hey, we don't keep any money around!"
lel kek jej

Is this really that bad? It’s like a minute of pickup and a little sweeping.

Faggot.

format your novel user use green text it took me just over a minute to read this in green text with the exact same ammount of text it would save 15secconds maybe

>im aware of the irony of me asking for usefull formating when i use 0 grammer kek

>I knock on the door, and a guy in a uniform comes by and says, "Hey, we don't keep any money around!"
Just how Mexican are you?

You're not very nice and I think you're not the same user I was talking to anyway. You must have brain damage to dislike anything I said that badly.

>be 14
>seeing Avatar in theatres with 3 friends
>holding a large drink
>it's a packed house
>we see a few empty seats in the middle
>shuffling down the isle
>the cunts sitting down the isle aren't pulling their feet and legs in so it's like an obstacle course
>I trip over someone's leg
>fall down in front of the theatre
>dump my entire soda onto some fat 12 year olds lap
>apologize to him
>his mom glares at me with daggers in her eyes
>He's such a little beta he starts apologizing to me and saying "n-no it's okay!"
>my friends are all laughing at me
>I don't want to sit in these empty seats because we'd be sitting right beside the kid and his mom
>we move to the very front row
>the kid didn't get up or anything, he just sat there with a wet sticky lap

I had these and I became forever traumatized. It takes like months to be confirmed rid of them

>Go to see Everywhere All At Once or whatever the hell it's called with wife
how are you old enough to have a wife but not old enough to handle a basic medical emergency?

>>she says it's corny for the man to order for the woman without even asking her what she wants
>>I ignore her (passing her shit-test)
She's right about this part though. Not corny but weird. Going to the movies for a first date is weird too. That's most of the date sitting in the dark in silence.
>ask her some questions about her little sister just to make conversation
Another strike for you. I know you didn't know her age but in a 15min first date sit down and you're asking a bunch of questions about a sibling would weird a lot of people out. Both of you seem kind of odd based on this story.

But he’s right. Go be old somewhere else.

the popcorn on the ground is a pain in the ass. But everything else is just: carry a bag around and toss it in. Simple as.

She's very into me, but I don't really care. We watch the entire movie, and the ending really hits me, but i'm not sure why. We get up and leave, and I'm shaking my head, saying "I don't get it." she explains that she thinks he started crying because he thought he finally made a difference in life. I don't say anything, but i think the point is the exact opposite of that.

As we're leaving, the movie theater guy comes up again. "You're...leaving?" he asks. "yeah, why?" i ask. "Oh, i dunno, just thought you'd stay" he said. "People like you, well, they usually stay all night."

"All night?" I ask. "Yeah, we officially close at midnight, but I'm the night watchman too, so, i don't really care, i have to be here all night."

The chick seems intrigued by this. "We got to get going!" I say, because I'm honestly not feeling her anymore. She seems upset and says she needs to go to the bathroom, disappears.

I ask again if people really stay all night, He just shrugs and says "Yeah, you know, couples, they maybe got no place else to go, it's a nice place to stay."

I insist we leave when she gets back, she doesn't talk to me again for the rest of the night, even when I drop her off.

I don't know why, but that was one of the saddest experiences of my life.

I used to work for a company that came in after the last showings in a local theater and did a quick clean up job every night. You would not fucking believe how many purses, wallets, phones, money clips, loose cash, I would find in a given night. It boggles the mind. I pocketed every valuable thing I found other than credit cards and cell phones and either tossed what was left in the garbage or gave it to my supervisor. On top of that, Coca Cola was running one of those promotions where their products had codes you could redeem for points which you could use to purchase shit on their website. Well, all the large or bigger cup sizes in concessions had peel off things worth ten points each and I'd go home every morning with thousands of points which I then used to buy shit like Nintendo Wiis which I'd pawn or otherwise resell. At some point Coke put a limit on the number of points you could redeem in a day, though and it became too much of a hassle to bother with.
