I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I will be in the back judging you.

Regardless of the film?

100% of the time.

What theaters are you guys going to where the aisle is in a corner?

I was just joking around, Joe.

But also, in most of the theaters I go to, the aisles are on the sides.

I know you were joking. That wasn't meant to be aggressive or anything. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

There aren't a lot of theaters (anymore) that have sections with center aisles, it's true. Most of the theaters I go to are continental style (one long row). And the aisles are "on the sides" but they aren't further out than the edge of the screen.

Really, the most important thing for me is to be in the last row. That way I can't hear any people behind me.

All good!

I suppose that would be one of the benefits of the back row. And also being able to see what the people in front of you are looking at on their phones.

Arnulf Rainer (Peter Kubelka, 1960)
The Flicker (Tony Conrad, 1966)

if that's too minimalist, then:

Serene Velocity (Ernie Gehr, 1970)

but if you really do need something to chew on, then I guess:

Wavelength (Michael Snow, 1967)
