Eddington (Ari Aster, July 18, 2025) • Page 8

I like being closer to the front. Not like fun my row, but maybe back of that front section. Screen takes up your full vision and you can kind of approximate the IMAX effect by reclining. Plus, no one else sits in that section unless it's packed.

 

middle of the theater always

 

I really enjoyed this and I think will age really well with folks whenever they’re ready to revisit things from this fucked up of a time in our world.

 

this person should be sent to a high security prison

 

Kind of stunned by how much I liked this. Was expecting to roll my eyes a lot more than I did, it all felt a little disturbingly real.

 

Felt like this movie had a lot to say but I’m not sure what it was

 

Big same

 

Very nihilistic movie

 

Yes Patrick

 

I thoroughly enjoyed this, they person next too me fucking laughed at everything

 

Second half was phenomenal

 

Reminded me of No Country For Old Men at times

 

I was the only one laughing in my mostly vacant theatre. The voice in my head says that’s because I was the only sane person in there.

 

I never know what to do with myself after an Aster film for like the next 12-16 waking hours

 

the best kind

 

I was in a large theater that was laughing the whole time. The movie would have been 100% more depressing otherwise. Laughing at the real world insanity with a group of strangers was so cathartic. It felt like it cut five years of collective tension.

 

My pre-watch experience for this was crazy, by the way. I was already running late, then I couldn't find any parking in the many parking decks around the Burbank AMC. I was stuck in an upper deck and saw a guy get out of his car and punch another guy who stole the parking space he was waiting for. People honking everywhere. I almost gave up and went home, but then I saw a space right next to me open up. It took five minutes for that person to pull out cause the garage was so packed. I parked. The punching guy (having found his own space) was walking up to the now empty car that took his spot... I don't know what he did to the car and I didn't have time to stick around to find out. I sprinted in my flip flops about five minutes to the theater, ran into the bathroom (for I had eaten something upsetting), finished as quickly as I humanly could, then finally ran in and somehow sat down right as Nicole Kidman finished her "movies are magical and inspiring and you are NOT about to watch a COVID film" speech. My asthma was in full force from the running. I felt bad for the girl next to me.

Something about the whole debacle just felt very appropriate. It's like the universe knew I was about to going to see an Ari Aster movie.

 

First couple rows up the stairs on the aisle so I can go pee
