RULES

  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

I'm 23

It's cuz I have Immigrant Asian parents... 👀 (need more explaining? lol)

Also I never really made friends so there's that...

As a kid I was often at home... stranger danger and all that you know... didnt really play outside by myself often always with parents... like from birth to 12 I was mostly just either at home or school... never played outside ALONE... so I never even though of going alone (I mean how terrifying would it be if I was a teen going alone...)

I think I just have anxiety in general... like I fear like, oh what if look awkward especially being a first timer... or like its dark and I trip and fall and I look silly and then feel sad... Or drop something and cant find it... like oh shit I'm supposed to be happy watching a movie... what can go wrong now?

You’re crushing it dude. Congrats on your first theatre movie, they can be incredibly fun. Happy for you.

I used to feel this way, then I realized most people won't ever notice me or care, which was liberating.
