i spent 12 hours in a movie theater

me when I was working at a movie theater

Its insane how you spent the entire day in the theater but didn't watch Puss in Boots 2 once

the glass onion sponsorship goes crazy

did this recently with Fablemens, Bones and All, Glass Onion, and Tar. THAT was a 12 hour rollercoaster.

I went to a 12 hour horror movie marathon at my local theater. It was hosted by one of my good friends who was also a horror director and comic writer. I had lots of fun but by the end I was drained ( it ended up being 14 hours)

it's like watching Karsten summarize a day of his minimum wage job

Can we talk about the fact that a tribute to the movie theaters video is sponsored by a Netflix movie lol

The only time I did this was August 13th, 2010 when Scott Pilgrim vs The World came to theaters. Me and my best friend were MASSIVE fans of the graphic novels. So we were super pumped to see the movie and we wanted to go with all of our other friends. Only problem is our friends all had different schedules. So, me and my friend Cole bought tickets to every showing that day, and then our friends would join us for different showings. I couldn't eat popcorn for a month after that day lmao

Your next challenge should be hopping from different movie theaters and seeing how many different experiences you can get in one day. Like a family matinee to a midnight Rocky Horror. I have a feeling your third eye would open and the sheer spirit of film would transform you. Or something.

Honestly the fact that you left early before finishing some the movies shows that you generally do like these challenges in a way and you were trying to make it fun for you

I used to do this as a kid with my dad. Back then at the AMC near my house there wasnt assigned seating so it was easy to sneak into films all day. The craziest was when jackass no. 2 came out and the auditorium was so full people that suck in were sitting on the stairs. We got kicked out but just went to a different movie. We would routinely be leaving the theater at around 2am. Good times.

I watched this video at 10:30 am. At 11 am I was at the movie theater and stayed until 11 pm. I saw Empire of Light, The Whale, Babylon, The Fabelmans, and The Menu. I actually had a really good time, and it was much easier than I thought it would be. Might do it again sometime.

now i’m expecting an “80 for Brady” comprehensive analysis from Karsten

The other day I watched Avatar 2 in 4DX at 10:00am, and then watched Lawrence of Arabia in 70mm that afternoon. Two 3.5 hour long movies on complete opposite ends of the spectrum, both featuring premium theatrical presentation techniques from their respective eras. Can confidently say it was an exhausting, fascinating experience.

I think your next challenge has to be watching 80 for brady all day at a theatre over and over

I used to do something similar just for fun. And because I had no social life. My first apartment was within walking distance of a discount movie theater. This theater showed second run movies - movies 3-6 months after release; this was before the short window to home video era. An all-day ticket was $2.50, which included a hot dog and a large soda; buy one ticket, stay as long as you like and see as many movies as you want on that day. Food wasn't a problem - hot dogs were 50 cents, an endless refill soda cup $1, an endless refill popcorn $1, basically everything at the snack counter was a dollar. I'd go Saturday starting at about noon, see five movies, and could eat enough to feel bloated if I felt like it. I had summer off (I'm a school teacher), so during the summer, I'd go on Tuesday, and there were occasions when I would be the only person in a theater watching a particular movie. It didn't matter what the movies were, at least not much. The prints (this was back when movies were shown from film reels) were old and worn, and the theater never got big blockbusters like the Star Wars prequels, which were too big for second run theaters, and never got art house films, which didn't have enough mass appeal for a second run theater. It was open for like a year and a half, but during that year and a half, I saw everything that played in wide distribution; summer blockbusters at the new theater seating multiplex, and everything else at the discount theater. It probably wasn't as awesome as I remember it, but that's nostalgia for you, improving the past by filtering out the little details of the experience and leaving only the general impression.

80 for Brady being your only constant is poetic in a way

I did this back in 2007. I watched (in this order): Atonement, Charlie Wilson’s War, P.S. I Love You, Sweeney Todd, National Treasure 2, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and Juno. The most wild day I’ve ever spent in a theater, and it was at an AMC as well.

So proud of Karsten for getting a Netflix sponsorship!

It's always the 2nd film where your stomach sinks and realized you're gonna be doing this all day
