Just to reiterate, I don't actually think move theatres are magical, space-bending buildings. I'm just saying it's fun to think this way, and also it's a thought that I understand on an emotional level, if that makes any kind of sense.

You mean like when I like to believe that fairies live in my garden or by the stream near Cecrit Lake?😁

Sam Quincy

"You walk around a corner," yeah, THIS. That corner thing. How are the doors that close??

Kat

My growing crush on you with each new take is another fun thought.. harmless and ultimately fruitless, but fun to indulge nonetheless the less. 😅

Ryan

Holy shit yes

Sara Lowman

I love the idea of movie theaters being a portal &/or break from the simulation

Raymond Rogers

And then you swear you’re clearly in an interior space in the theatre and yet, there’s that exit that leads right to the parking lot and you’re just like “whaaat the hell just happened?!”

Vince

I worked in a movie theater for two years and they are 1000% liminal spaces. Especially on slow days when no one is watching movies but they still play.

I also indulge in magic from time to time. I think the world is better with it, even if it isn't real.

Same. We had one auditorium that was for whatever movie had almost no people watching them. It ended up getting called haunted because the movie playing with no one in there just puts the hair on the back of your neck up and I can't describe why.

Phina O'Neil

I worked in one for five years and I fully believe they're magic. There are tucked away cupboards and hidden hallways and a single hall upstairs to get to the projectors. It's genuinely a wildly incomprehensible space. Each stadium is like... a triangle block standing on the point on either side of t he hall. Thosee blocks have a long, flat rectangle between them, with a long thin square sat on top of it. In the empty space between the triangle block are usually storage spaces for things like popcorn and cleaning supplies and the long, thin block is the hallway. The long, short block at the top is the projectors gangway. When you get to the secret hallways, I get lost. I was never good at navigating the elaborate ones. I'm not sure how they attach. And there really are so many parts of the building that are actually cut off in some way but aren't storage space. Just... nothing there when you KNOW that the shape of the outside would REQUIRE a room where you're at. Also, the doors are close because they put the doors on the left of one auditorium and the right of the one next to it. It gives them a MASSIVE set of open space to put things like posters and trash cans. But they also do irregular ones sometimes and it's REALLY hard to fit them into a mental map. All of that said? It's magic. Anyone who works in one will tell you it never feels quite real or correct. Like stepping into a fae realm and trying to make sense of it.

There is a God. It's you. It's you, outside the simulation. You've been running the simulation millions of times, to see how things might possibly turn out, and to find what combination of events will yield the absolute worst timeline. We're currently in that absolute worst timeline.

I don’t perceive movie theatres like this at all, but I love that this is something that people think of!

And yeah, collective memories are interesting. They’re obviously not other realities. Collective misremembering is a very cool aspect of human biology.

Tabitha D

What a fun way to start the day. Thanks for sharing your brain with us Austin.

Anthony Ocean

This is hilarious as ive never thiught about it this way, and youre right. Now im not going to be able to unsee it. This is great Austin

I was trying to think of a theatre where I've had this experience, and the strip-mall three-screen theater one town over from where I grew up definitely makes no sense. The entrance takes up just as much space as any of the stores on either side in the strip, but this one has three giant rooms and enough hallway for half the town to line up to see titanic ....

Michael Boezi

I believe that this is essential to the creative process. We conjure something out of nothing; we HAVE to indulge in magical thinking a least a little.

Carilyn Done

It’s crazy magical how entertaining you are. 😁

Jacob Freedman

Honestly self awareness lets magical thinking be fun. We deserve it every now and then as a treat :)

Delphia

When I was a kid, I thought, "Maybe we're some other being's ant farm?" 🤣

Delphia

Hospitals feel this way sometimes, too. Sure, the building may be big and sprawling, but once inside...how did they get all those rooms in there?

Cassie J

I've never thought about it before, but that is super interesting

Hailey

A good movie always feels like time travel. I'm sad that more people aren't going to movies and so many movie theaters aren't doing so well.

Hailey

How funny would it be if they made a movie with Sinbad called Shazam 2 just to mess with people.

Branden Cook

As someone who worked as a projectionist walking around up by the projectors also doesnt help it just makes you go wow lol

Branden Cook

I think the actual explantion is magical but its cuz its a amazing construction engineering.

Dana Schreiner

Just last night I was reading about the double slit quantum thing and it's wild that you mentioned that! And I agree that movie theaters don't make sense, spacialy.

Joel S Wilkinson

I love this. I suspect it's a series of subtle optical illusions that trick our perception of size. Like, something about a narrow hallway versus a large, open, dark room. But it's very cool when those things conspire to make a magical experience especially in an escapist area like a movie theater.

Josefa Hernandez

Omg I am in the “I saw the Sinbad Shazam movie” category. Whaaaat??

CJ

Oh yeah, this is my kind of ramble for sure.

Teresa

I love this so much

Carter1214

Do you have your own Discord server?

Amanda Mango Cape

I have this thinking about cinemas all the time!!!! And no, I also don't want the magic to be explained to me. Xx

Amanda Mango Cape

Oh random film popped up in my gen x memory out of nowhere yesterday, stay with me here..."Digby the world's biggest dog" am I alone with this hazy bonkers movie? X

Amanda Mango Cape

"The bucket list" as a concept, is the Mandela effect that messes my brain up. X
