• So we can share quiet, non-intrustive reactions and absolutely gush about the movie at the end. The hangout doesn’t end just because the movie’s over. Do you try to talk to the person next to you about the rollercoaster you’re having fun on?

      Why sit next to someone not watching the movie while they watch the movie and actively interrupt them watching the movie?

          To share the emotional experiences, and then talk about the story afterwards.

          Or you can talk during the film and have this conversation later:
          “What was that dude so angry about?”
          “I don’t know. We were talking about the previous scene during that scene.”
          “That movie sucked. It was confusing and I just couldn’t get into it.”

          Sure it is, you’re sharing an experience. It’s exactly the same as going to a theater but the screen is smaller and snacks are cheaper.
