I don't know what it's like where you are, but the theater here holds about 50 people. At $16 a ticket for a single showing, I don't expect a lot of casual people to come in.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Do you imagine a Pearl Jam movie to be like a horror movie in 1990s Harlem?

They did do the bad-ass alternate take on MoW at one of these. Hopefully some of that will be included.
By far the best version of Masters of War ever played live (including Dylan) that I've ever heard... McCreadys solo was so intense it actually took away from the last verse. Almost wish they would have just kept jamming loud with EV doing the last lines over the top (Think they toyed around with it that way back during the VFC tour?)

I saw a screening of PJ20 in Cambridge MA and everyone in the theater save me and one other person was insufferable.

I saw PJ20 in Winston-Salem. People went into the movie. People watched the movie. People left the movie.

It was, y'know ... a movie.

The crowd was better behaved at PJ20 than most movies I go to.

I think the Pit is as nuts as anyone else, but I've never met those guys in real life.

Most of them are just normal folks. It was really only a few I met wrigley '13 that actually were 'PJHS: Cult' types. And that was only after they asked about my posts on the Pit and I mentioned this place.

this is what I dread in a movie theater... unless Samuel L. Jackson says some iconic, quotable line, everyone needs to shut the F#*K up and remind themselves who actually gets paid to sing the damn songs!

oh, for sure!

It's pretty annoying when some idiot is singing loudly into your ear at a concert, but expected. The band can feed off the energy... yadda, yadda...

In a movie theater, though, THE BAND CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!

It wasn't the hole time but i believe during Alive - in pj20 - people started singing along. It felt good. Was fitting. It was a joyous occasion.

I'd happily go to a screening but Australia stops at the western Victorian border apparently.
