Parasite (Bong Joon-ho, 2019) Movie • Page 24

I go to lot of 10pm showings on weeknights and empty theaters are very common

 

this is insane lol

 

If someone did that to me I would be terrified lol.

 

Like, the seat right next to you or was there a buffer seat? Did he at least acknowledge you with a smile and nod, so there was no tension? There's no good outcome to this, but we can work with it.

 

That happened to me in a porno theater. Totally killed my horniness.

 

well

 

I used to go see movies super late during the week and I had plenty of theaters to myself. It was lovely.

 

When I watched Moon, there was just one guy around my age sitting several rows behind me. Two introverts watching an indie flick alone, that could've been my soulmate.

 

When I saw A Hidden Life it was me and seven other solo people and no one else, I felt very at home amongst my peers

 

When I saw A Hidden Life there were at least 15 people but nearly all of us sat on the front balcony because it has the best view + the only place in the theater with comfy couches. So we were all close together despite having an entire open theater

 

Speaking of audiences, I noticed everyone in my Parasite screening was at least 55+ and about 20 minutes in, an elderly couple got up and never came back

 

My showing was maybe the most diverse group I’ve seen in a theater in recent memory. Everyone was into it and it made the experience even better.

 

ditto @EASheartsVinyl
this was the least white audience I’ve seen in recent memory and the city I live in is extremely white

 

I did the thing

 

wowee

 

Best part is I did it for less than $10, just got the two soup packets which were ~$3 and change and then got a cheap marbeled sirloin from Wegmans for like ~$6. Definitely doing this again it's really good.

 

right next to me, no acknowledgment. I moved to the row behind him

 

When I saw this movie for the first time in November there were maybe 4? other people there besides me and my friend. No one said a word, it was unbelievably chill. Kinda sad I won't get another theater viewing experience of it like that now that it's blown up

 

Awful. I wonder what would have happened if you had moved to the seat on the other side of him.

 

There was no one else in the theater when I saw Birds of Prey last week. Think that was the only time that's ever happened to me

 

yeah I've seen a movie with like a couple of people or 4 people but never just myself, I'd be worried that I was gonna be murdered or something haha

 

Local Independent cinema just announced that they’re doing a “Bongfest” this weekend. Showing Barking Dogs, The Host, Mother, and Okja on top of both the B&W and color versions of Parasite.

 

Looks like this is opening in IMAX this weekend!

 

I was alone in the theater seeing Popstar on the day it came out :(
