Indeed, what better way to get to know someone than to sit next to them for 2.5 hours in silence
There's also the intermission periods, you know. Have you never struck a conversation before a movie, before the second act, or while in line to get snacks or tickets? Also, some movie theaters allow talking during the movie if it's one of those smalltown theaters that plays movies from a century ago.
I’ve never once been to a movie that had an intermission in 25 years. And no, it’s mostly small talk and then the show starts
In all the movies in all the movie theaters I've been to, every movie always starts out with a commercial prelude to the movie, when all the lights are on and there's nothing important to interrupt. I'm not saying any conversation of note happens during that time, just that it's the closest I've come to genuine platonic success.
