I still remember the lines literally around the block in Westwood for The Exorcist.

A jaywalker came within half a second of running in front of my car just a couple of days ago.

(The Christmas episode is one of the two that I hated--but for personal reasons. It was really well-done. I just can't be around those kinds of family dynamics--IRL or on TV!)

Love the show--however Season 2 was a bit uneven for me. Loved two episodes, hated two others. Season 1 was much more consistent for this viewer. I'll certainly tune-in for a 3rd season tho.

It did occur to me to create a theater-related community. I'm wondering if it should be broader? Should it encompass ALL movie theaters/exhibition--not just the classic palaces of yore? 🤔

I Also noticed you had a few film format communities--but were missing a "70mm" one...

I'm old school--so this is the only Tom Scott I'm familiar with.

I really hoped there'd be something like a "Classic Theatre" or "Movie Palace" community at lemmy.film--but alas. It ended up in here because the others available seemed even less appropriate.

And, yes, I have personal history with the theater--most recently having seen LICORICE PIZZA there 5-ish times when it opened there. (I also saw the original TRON first-run, and once sat next to "Urkel" for the first STAR WARS re-issue.)

I think we should attempt to convince Paul and Maya and Quentin to buy the place.

Inside with other people around, sure.

I have sensitive hearing, and while I don't go to many concerts anymore, I'll often put in in my earpods at the movies, for example.

Exactly! 🤣

I'm not sorry I watched it. And I eventually came to understand what the filmmaker was going for. I'm grateful to at least be able to have a frame of reference when it comes up.

But calling it the "greatest film of all time"...? 😐
