      And the trolling is a whole lot harder to ignore when the loud guys in white bed sheets are literally in the theater with you.

      I’ve been to Conferences have done this. Presenter, with a live chat behind them.

      When you buy a ticket, you get an account and access into the conf site and chat portal. And Dickheads are quickly identified and reprimanded.

      Harder to be an asshole when there’s a pretty short list of suspects that could be doing it, depending on the showtime

    Any coward who uses Twitter in the year 2024 is a traitor and a collaborator.

    Sounds like an interesting business idea. It could seriously pull a lot of younger audience without putting a lot of effort into anything.

      Biggest problem I could see with this as a business idea is that IP owners might be hesitant to have their movies shown in places where everyone is expected to have a recording device out.

      Otherwise it seems like an actually great idea.

      Seems like the kind of thing where enthusiasm/attendance might fall off sharply with the novelty of the thing. Of course you could just transition it back into a regular cinema if that happened.

    Honestly if it keeps the brainrot addicts who can’t sit through a movie without scrolling through Minecraft parkour videos in one place so I can go and watch them without bright screens in thr dark microwaving my eyeballs, I’m all for it.

      My wife and I used to go to movie theaters quite often and screens have hardly been an issue. Talking and smells have been way further up the list of common annoyances.

    For some time I was watching football streams in a discord server, and eventually the server got a firm message from the league (which was nice compared to just getting shut down).

    It was really fun to live chat with everyone while everyone had the same stream with the same delay, in a weird way. It was goofier than a “serious” match night with the boys but on a weeknight alone it was great. It’s not the same to live chat with everyone on different streams, different delays, different folks have their streams drop at different times etc

    Especially when the team you follow are legendarily inconsistent and the atmosphere around them is characterized by an implacable vibes roller coaster.

    You can sort of emulate this behavior using a VR headset and using that Big screen app that puts you in a virtual theatre with others and people can talk and throw popcorn at the screen etc. You can find all sorts of movies playing on it that you can randomly join

    I am so happy my local cinema is deep down in a basement without any mobile reception. People try to access Tiktok and just give up.

    Baby Shark needs to be playing in the background. It’s always playing on one of the many speakers, but which speaker it is - and what volume - changes every couple of seconds.

      There’s a separate twitch stream watching these people and they vote on that every time the song plays. Max volume on all speakers if the stream is dead.

    It’s all fun and games until someone gets the rest of the theatre to think of The Game. That’s why this isn’t a thing in person, the chances of shitpost-related violence is too high.
