A bit late to the party, but I recently went to the cinema to watch the new Avatar movie. I never planned to watch it on the big screen because I no longer care about the Avatar franchise, but my friend invited me to go watch the movie with her and her son since she had free movie tickets, so I was like, free shit, why not. Stop reading now if you still need to see Avatar 3 and you wanna avoid mild spoilers.
To my surprise, the cinema was full, even though the movie has been out for weeks. I've spent enough time with my friend's son to know how vocal he is whenever we're gaming together, so I low key expected him to provide commentary throughout the movie. However, what I didn't expect was one comment in particular.
There's a scene in the movie where one of the blue alien girls kisses the human boy in the film. My friend's son started giggling with a mouthful of popcorn. His giggle was contagious, so I automatically giggled too. My friend playfully shushed both of us. At that moment, my friend's son looked at me and said "you should kiss my mom like that."
The people in our row definitely heard because some of them were laughing, albeit discreetly. I automatically looked at my friend, but she avoided eye contact, so I did the same and pretended none of that just happened. There was still like a thousand hours left of the film, which made for an anxious experience because I didn't know if there was gonna be more love scenes that would prompt my friend's son to say more uncomfortable shit.
There was an awkward vibe between my friend and I when we eventually walked out of the cinema, but we didn't allow it to get in the way of us enjoying ourselves. That being said, I'll think twice before going to the cinema with my friend's son again lol.
Tl:dr Agreed to go to the movies with my friend and her son, which was wholesome at first, but then my friend's son saw two characters kissing and said I should do that to his mom for everyone in the cinema to hear. Needless to say, I died inside. In fact, I'm still dying.
