  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I just watched Project Hail Mary in the theater... First movie I ever seen in a theater... What movies have you seen in theaters? Or do you have a home theater? Or just watch on tv/laptop? (sh.itjust.works)

Btw idk why I have anxiety the entire time... (no, not anxiety about the plot... like just random anxiety) but besides that....

Great experience (ish... I rather own a movie theater and have it all by myself so I don't have so much anxiety)

BIG SCREEN

My favorite sequence was when:

SPOILERSRocky risks his life to save Grace

I like the sequence of like the darkness and then a flash of light to show whats going on... that was so cool

I love the moments of silence...

So much different from just watching it on a 15.6 inch screen + headphones at home... (and also I'd have to wait for home release...)

(Put any spoilers in tags pls)

Edit: Also I was gonna take a photo of the theater and like the outside areas after you check in... and also like the mall area and stuff... but I kinda forgot due to anxiety... lol

Edit2: ALSO: I missed so much dialogue because my ears suck lol. I thought my English was good having arrived at 8 years old but apparantly not lmfao

Need a rewatch later at home (when home release comes out) WITH SUBTITLES

My parents tv is so garbage... colors are so inaccurate lol I think its also a 1080p...

Some of that may be fixable in settings if you have the patience and your parents aren't watching over your shoulder. 1080p is pretty solid for most content, though the lack of HDR is noticeable.

If you can find the model number you can try searching for "### TV Calibration" and see if anyone has posted anything that can send you in the right direction. https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/how-to-calibrate-your-tv rtings has a lot of useful info.

You cant fix frugalness...

The tv was like $150 ish

They got it ESPECIALLY BECAUSE it was cheap...

(They're not poor btw (not currently at least), they make like over 100k per year together with their small bussiness, just go used to frugalness from early poverty days I guess)
