That guy sucks, but you could have gotten up and sat elsewhere. It's a drag to have to do that but it also sends a message

It’s all reserved seating that you buy in advance, so it’s not quite that simple.

Yeah, I can only speak for American audiences, but they absolutely suck in my experience. I enjoy the ritual of going to a theater but I really wish I could be the only one in the audience every time.

My first ever job was working in a brand new cineplex. I remember the day before opening sitting all alone in the biggest screen as they played Braveheart to test the projector.
It was so cool.

I've never really had too much of an issue with crowds at theatres.

Colorado crowds seem a bit worse than Midwest crowds. God I hate the people in this state.

They’re certainly much nicer and more down to earth.

I met lovely people in Omaha and Kansas and Little Rock. (Dallas was full of assholes though)

The upper Midwest contains a high ratio of lovely people.

Is Chicago Midwest?

Love that town. My favourite place in all the US.
Relaxed. No NY attitude no LA pretentiousness.

Chicago is my kinda town.

Yes, Chicago is the Midwest

Indeed.

On a somewhat related note, I do not consider Ohio the Midwest. If you are in the Eastern timezone, you are not mid or west.

I personally don’t consider the Dakotas to be the Midwest either.

You could probably split America into three new Separate countries, west mid west east, and
Things would be a lot more peaceful politically speaking

Fuck. Forgot about Florida. The fatal flaw in my plan

I’m not so sure of that. There’s red and blue everywhere. Especially red.

Well beyond that. Deeper divisions. Always chuckle when people say America is a melting pot. It really isn’t. It’s totally tribal. And hardened. Italians Irish blacks Jews. It never really blended at all. Everyone is fiercely committed to their tribe and ancestry. The fear of the other.
That’s kinda the root of all the problems imo
