When the Cinemark "Turn off your cell phones" screen came up, it froze for 5 minutes until I got somebody to go look at it. Then the lights came up, and an employee said something was wrong with the movie file, and we all got refunds instead. This was actually the first time that happened to me in my life. They were really determined for three people to turn off their phones Nah, that happened to me in 2016. It's kind of surreal seeing Windows XP on a movie theater screen when the file is corrupted and not playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morieris Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 A Wrinkle in Time 1 PM About 25 people. Teasers: Christopher Robin Mary Poppins Returns Love, Simon Hotel Transylvania 3 No reactions to a lot. An occasional titter. When I got out, I had an hour until my second movie of the day, so here is what I heard in the lobby. One of the employees took the phone and said "Um, it's Disney." to her manager, who went "Disney?" The manager might have gotten someone at Disney in trouble bc they didn't get a new giant standee poster to replace the WIT one. I guess it might have been an IW one. Several old people came in to see Three Billboards One man called it Three Fences Several of those old people came out to the counter to say that the trailers were too loud, then that the movie was too loud. The Hurricane Heist 4:10 PM Me and four other people. Trailers: I Feel Pretty Skyscraper Rampage Fallout Chappaquiddick A much more engaged crowd, one woman kept reacting to every near death defying thing that happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Duncan Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 So I'm seeing Love, Simon with my Mom. We get out our MoviePasses, we go to the front desk, we get our tickets, but as we wait in line, we're behind three teenage girls, going on and on about whatever dumb topics dumb teenage girls do. They continued to be behind us as we were walking into the theater, as Mom and I were in horror that we would be behind a bunch of endlessly chatty 14 year olds. We attempted to find a seat, and we ended up finding some decent ones. Lo and behold, more and more teenagers, mainly girls, flooded into the theater, like a tsunami, trying to find a seat in our mid-sized auditorium. The previews start, and as more teenage girls went into the auditorium, Mom and I attempted to watch them, knowing deep down we made a terrible mistake. A Quiet Place, I Feel Pretty, Into the Spider-Verse, Overboard, Mamma Mia 2, Life of the Party, Deadpool 2, and Isle of Dogs all played, and throughout the previews, the teens all talked to themsleves, sometimes talking about the previews ("OMG that movie looks so scary!" "Cher? YAS Queen!" "That dog movie looks so good, but so weird!") Then, as the previews ended, Greg Berlanti and Nick Robinson appeared doing their whole "thanks for supporting our movie and shiz. Here ya go!" And as they ended, the teens hooted and hollared and clapped, to the chagrin of me and my mother. The film proper began, and throughout, teens whispered themselves, giggled at one another's jokes, and acted much like a nuisance. The worst is when any of the "big moments" happened. Every time some bad "big moment" happened, the teens cried out "OMG NO" "What a bitch!" "Holy shit". Any time some good "big moment" happened, the teens screamed very loudly, and said shit like "YAS Queen" "OMG YES" "AWWWWW". Sounds absolutely cancerous and ruined the experience? You would be correct. It's a shame, as I quite enjoyed the film, but I feel like I could have liked it more, but instead, these little annoying teenyboppers completely ruined what should have been a fun mother-son experience. In short, teenage girls are the worst groups of people alive (except the teenage girls of BOT...if we have any) But yeah, go see Love, Simon. It's good. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morieris Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 That sounds super annoying, and I absolutely know I would be bc the same thing happened to me in Lego Ninjago before I ducked out, but I can't help but be so charmed at a bunch of girls rooting for a boy to find the (male) love of his life. It seems like, as far as we have to go as a society, we've come a good long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAM! Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) I Can Only Imagine March 16, 7:40 PM, 30-40% full (maybe a little more full than that) Pointe Theater 14, Wilmington, NC Me and my father were attempting to attend the 6:50 showing, but that showing was sold out. The 7:40 timeslot wasn't on Fandango when I looked so it must have been a last minute addition. There was a variety of audience members. Older folks, middle aged adults, teenagers, even a group of younger children. Previews Paul, Apostle of Christ - murmurs Midnight Sun Overboard - laughs Sgt. Stubby: An American Hero - "awww", murmurs Unbroken: Path to Redemption - murmurs There were plenty of laughs and reactions at the film. Someone was definitely crying at the end. Usually, I am talkative about the film once it ends, and I pester my dad about how I felt about it, whether I'm excited ot underwhelmed. This time, it was different. This film had a palpable effect on me, and I was struck to the point where I was mostly silent. It was one of those moments that inspires me to keep striving for God to use me and the passion for film that He gave me. Driving away from the film, my dad asked me if I knew of any of the technical aspects that made the film as good as it was, and I started to list stuff like sound mixing and lighting and camerawork, ans I got really choked up. I was realizing that the filmmakers were truly giving glory to God by implementing their knowledge of filmmaking in this film; I was on the verge of tears because the film had what God's Not Dead didn't have, what War Room didn't have: filmmaking passion. Having just sent a long prayer up to God about leading me to the place He wants me to be in the film industry less than 24 hours prior, I now feel validated. I feel affirmed. I feel like, after studying and making movies, I can be led by God to do exactly what He wants me to do, whether that's with the mainstream or with the Christian film companies. Part of this was the way I related to the film's character, who tries to find his way in a similar industry; I now have more faith and more certainty that God's been there my whole life, shaping me to make the films He wants me to make. And if you are hoping to be in the industries such as film and television and music, and you want to be inspired the same way I was, then I urge you to consider seeing this film in theaters. You might feel how I felt; you might be inspired by the idea that God has been shaping you to do something great in the industry. I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this reaction to this film; my thought process was that, as a part of the crowd that does see a film like this, I would be reporting about, well, a very specific member of that crowd, that crowd member being me. I feel really happy now. That's how the film made me feel, and I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that's how it made the other moviegoers feel. God bless everyone involved with this film.

Cap Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Love, Simon Saturday 10PM Sunday 5PM Overboard (scattered laughs) Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again (EXCITEMENT. I heard a lot of 'Cher' in the post-trailer conversations. My mother turned to me and said, "I can't wait. We have to go see that together.") Ocean's Eight (Laughs, Talking Afterward, Very Into It.) The 10PM showing had five of us. Me, a group of three teenager girls, and an older gentleman. I was definitely the most engaged. The 5PM was about 25 people. Everyone at the theater was there for Love, Simon. The audience was 88% Women. Two men came in as part of a couple, and one man came in alone. The women were a mixture of older ladies and teenager girls. Definitely, some parents got dragged along. The audience was LIT: a lot of the jokes got BIG laughs (ex. that perfect Obama Joke), there were GASPS at some of the some of the shit Martin pulled, audible joy when [END SPOILER] happens, and audible crying during the last 30 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
