Charles Mic Dicta on the new Patreon ep of This Week in Atrocity
― Glower, Disruption & Pies (kingfish), Thursday, 19 April 2018 20:28 (six years ago) link
I did end up listening to Mic Dicta - I would probably love it if I were American but it's just a *little* too much about local legal minutiae for me not to tune out after a while.

i enjoyed Beyond the Filter and the discussion of the internet of yore (tho it sounds like im ~5 years older than Felix). exciting to hear anyone talk about Ulillillia!

Oh yeah CTH's take on movie theaters is fucking stupid. I've never been to an Alamo Drafthouse but anyone that uses their phone in a movie theater should be kicked out.

whats their take on movie theaters?

IIRC it was mostly Amber complaining about people who rat out loud audience members to theater employees. She referred to them as snitches or cops or something like that.
― JRN, Tuesday, 1 May 2018 23:54 (six years ago) link
they think people should be able to text/use their phones in movie theaters

especially in movie theaters
The Alamo experience is what you’re paying for. If you don’t like it, go to one of the many other movie theaters housed in the mostly large towns they’re in.

I get the idea that big dumb shitty movies don't require absolute silence like you're watching The Passion of Joan of Arc but that's why you find an empty matinee (okay, not really an option in NY) or pirate that shit and watch it on Virgil's floor TV.
― louise ck (milo z), Wednesday, 2 May 2018 03:39 (six years ago) link
The best moment I've had in a theater was from audience participation (a teenage girl stood up during the reveal of Orphan and yelled "Esther got titties!") but Matt complaining and farting would not be pleasant.
― louise ck (milo z), Wednesday, 2 May 2018 03:41 (six years ago) link
audience reaction/participation can be amazing
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 2 May 2018 03:57 (six years ago) link
but ime it's only been when the audience member/whole audience was completely focused on and in tune with the movie
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 2 May 2018 03:58 (six years ago) link
They're not the first ones to denounce complaints over cinema talking/texting as bourgie affectations - classic Hollywood audiences didn't sit in silence, neither do Bollywood audiences, etc. It's whatever, I still like to watch movies that way.
The woman w/ aspergers who got thrown out of a BFI screening of "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" for laughing too loudly at comedic moments was a real bummer tho, fuck the narcs in that case.
― Daniel_Rf, Wednesday, 2 May 2018 09:32 (six years ago) link
being loud/reacting to stuff on screen is fine, pulling out yr fuckin' cell phone in a dark theater is vile

this explains a lot about your politics.
what if it's a couple out on a date with their kid at home w the babysitter and they want to periodically check on how things are going? what if it's somebody with a sick parent waiting to hear news from the hospital?
i guess fuck that, "Oh mr theater authority! They are cheating!"
you are in public ffs. if you want to watch movies in a hermetically isolated chamber you can do that.
