Into the Woods

December 30th, 7:10PM

 

Crowd: Around 60%, lots of women, girls, and families.

 

Trailers:

Black or White- no reaction (Mom didn't say anything)

Selma- no reaction (Mom's thoughts: "Eric, do you know the reviews for that? It looks interesting.")

Pitch Perfect 2- some big laughs (Mom's thoughts: "Oh come on Eric, that was funny!")

Paul Blart 2- big laughs (Mom's thoughts: "Y'know honey, the first was a really cute movie.")

Tomorrowland- couple murmurs (Mom's thoughts: "Seems interesting.")

Cinderella- no reaction (Mom's thoughts: "Eh, not a fan. But the effects look decent.")

 

Movie had fantastic first two acts, but a decent, though not nearly as strong third. But it was easily the worst theater experience I had there. Three girls behind me laughed and talked with themselves through the entire movie, people in the audience moved everywhere, my seat felt kicked, some kid was bored so he/she had his/her Sketcher shoe light up throughout the movie, it was just obnoxious.

Audience was as reactive as you're gonna get with this movie. Got some laughs at appropriate times and a jump scare really worked (I thought that was hilarious.) The audience applauded at the end too  :unsure:

I forgot to mention that these two middle aged ladies I sat in front of at Foxcatcher kept saying stuff like "WOW THIS IS CREEPY" and "OH MAN THAT'S MESSED UP" for the entire movie. They would not shut up.

There were an asshole behind me who laughed essentially every time someone called someone a "n---." If I lived in a badass movie, I would've punched him in the face. If I wasn't with my family, I would've told him off. :/
