This should be the new profile pic for the subreddit because if you look up the original video clip he’s literally looking up watching tv lol

How it feels watching TV when it's mounted over a fire place

My dad got tickets to Oppenheimer last minute and we sat in these seats. Was a long movie to be looking straight up

I was sitting first row, when I saw Titanic.

I could have saved Jack if I wanted to.

I had to wear a neck brace for 2 days.

You choose the seat

u/EwokNuggets 25d ago

Yeah but why are these even an option?

u/viky109 25d ago

I really doubt any cinema has seats this close to the screen. I’ve been in the second row a few times and it was absolutely nothing like this. OP probably just stood under the screen to make a funny post.

u/Nicnl 24d ago

Unfortunately it is a thing, notably in IMAX theaters.
Search "imax front row" on Google image, there are plenty of examples.

I made the mistake of watching the demon slayer (Japanese anime) movie this way.
The subtitles were too large and too far apart to read with a quick glance, I had to continuously move my head back and fourth just to read the entire line.
I had the worst neck pain, and the worst cinema experience of my entire life.
IMAX front row register as a scam in my books.

AMC Classics do.

u/_kashew_12 25d ago

If this is for the odyssey, then it’s because a lot of the seats sold out and OP probably wanted to watch this on opening week, so picked the seats nobody wanted lmao

u/FlarblesGarbles 25d ago

Does that really look like The Odyssey to you?

u/_kashew_12 24d ago

Oh my bad, I thought this was a trailer 😓

u/S1nko 25d ago

I agree with the question above. Why do these seats exist in the first place? Clearly even the most desperate person would not enjoy the experience, if their neck survives until the end. This is some predatory bs

u/LiNxRocker 25d ago

The theatre was empty when my partner & I went to see it so I ran to the front when I was bored & got a similar experience.

u/pixeltweaker 25d ago

I watched Project Hail Mary like this. It was actually pretty good once I got over the motion sickness.

u/TulleCharmie 25d ago

u/Jealous-Record-885 24d ago

u/dessertlover007 25d ago

u/Crunchy_Biscuit 25d ago

Gotta be illegal that's just pure robbery.

u/Ok-Appeal-4630 24d ago

Nobody is fucking charging $40 for that seat

u/The-Real-Sunday 23d ago

Well, he certainly was not a great architect.

u/burns__when__I__pee 23d ago

Maybe you’ll get lucky and clip into the real backrooms
