Picture (haha, pun) this: 1996; Independence Day debuts in theaters! I want to see The Quest (because I was a huge van Damme fan). The Quest debuts that day in theater Y. But, the national debut of ID4 is that day in the COMPETING theater X...zombiejoe said:But what about going to the theater when there's no one else around? The whole place to yourself? That's the ticket right there.
Outcome; me and my aunt are the ONLY people in the entire 200 seat room. In total theater Y had SIX clients all evenening that time (4 200 seat rooms, 1 smaller)... Yes, I *did* put my legs over the seats in front. And it was *amazing*!!! (Theater X was sold out all day and night for a long time)
BTW; sometimes the sound is waaaaay too fucking loud (and generally way too loud) to be bearable.
And... who the eff would talk to complete strangers in the lobby?! Not in *my* culture, anyway!
