      I legit had this happen once, but with my wife and I. Thought we were the only two in the theater, and just as the trailers end a guy pops in and walks all the way up to the back row and sits down next to my wife. We were in motion seats that you pay specifically for, if the other motions seats aren’t reserved they don’t function. So we couldn’t ask him to move. Worst part was about halfway through the movie my soda caught up with me. I sat for over an hour having to piss badly because I couldn’t leave my wife alone with some strange ass dude

      Yeah this crap infuriates me. It almost happened to me once, the theater wasnt this empty, but there were like 5-10 total. I happened to look right before I left for the movie and just moved to the row behind…but why are people like this?

    When COVID shutdown ket up and theaters opened I saw The Last Vermeer. It was me and one other guy. When the movie ended we sat somewhat far apart and talked about the film for 15 minutes. It was nice to not be the only one there and to talk with someone who saw the film

    I know this is all about awkwardness but what if you get the Lemmy Be Wholesome ending where they made a new friend who also likes the niche film you do?

    Not that I recommend it. Lol

    Ex and I saw Blade Runner 2049 like this, even in much the same seats. Fuck me but that was an experience.
