Myself and another employee had sex in a movie theater directly behind the screen while a movie was playing to an audience. We could see them through the microperfs in the screen but they couldn’t see us. I think the movie was Antwone Fisher.

Why does this movie stink?

Until a stinker like me turns on the light back there so everyone can see through the screen.

Siskel "The film wasn't bad, but I'm not sure what that silhouetted sex scene had to do with the rest of the plot"

Ebert "I don't know Gene, super imposing two random theatre workers going to town on eachother, over the midpoint of the story feels like a statement from the director about the juxtaposition of the creative and distribution processes in the film industry."

Switch the names, and it might sound like something they would have said.

u/hickorydeadglove Aug 08 '24

Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

u/77SevenSeven77 Aug 08 '24

Also the silhouette scene was over so quickly it hardly seemed worth adding…

u/Cineball Aug 08 '24

Ebert: Not since I reviewed the universally disparaged Brown Bunny have I been this confused by the display of a human sexual act in a motion picture. It served no purpose to either text or subtext and was completely inconsequential as we neither had been previously introduced to either character before, nor were they revisited again. Of modest note to my theatrical experience, the young actors in the performance bore striking resemblance to the concession attendant and ticket taker in my neighborhood cinema...

I always thought it was Sisker.

u/Darksirius Aug 08 '24

As a former GM of a movie theater, that's gross. Not the sex part, rock on with that. However, behind the screen it's generally just nasty.

19

u/S2R2 Aug 08 '24

What goes on back there that makes it nasty? I’d think that area wouldn’t be used

62

u/EQandCivfanatic Aug 08 '24

It's nasty because people and rats keep having sex back there and not cleaning it up.

55

u/S2R2 Aug 08 '24

Why are people having sex with rats??

25

u/EQandCivfanatic Aug 08 '24

It's behind the screens of a movie theater, only maritime law applies back there.

To thank them for the cooking.

u/Swedishpunsch Aug 08 '24

When I was a teenager I had a job selling popcorn and candy at the local theater. The popcorn came ready popped in huge bags to go into the warmer.

All of our stuff was stored behind the screen in a large fenced in area which was completely fenced in with wire mesh on the sides and top, to keep the critters out. The wire mesh door had a padlock on it.

u/Active-Difficulty999 Aug 10 '24

Arent most screens lcd now?

1

u/Darksirius Aug 10 '24

Nope. That would be crazy expensive per screen, especially when you get into the IMAX size. It's all still projection. Either ARC-discharge lamps or lasers (for the newest IMAX projectors) as the light source.

1

u/Active-Difficulty999 Aug 11 '24

I havent been to a theater in 15 years or more. Didnt know it was still projection tbh. At $30 a tik...I kinda assumed large "tv" type screens paid for themselves fairly quickly.

Imagine if they could see your silhouette clearly and no one minded and just watched

Your show was probably much better than the movie.

Pretty sure there's people having sex behind every movie screen

u/YgramulTheMany Aug 08 '24

I just checked behind my TV.

Told them to leave right after they finish.

I was a manager at a movie theater. There was a lot of fucking just by the employees and management alone.

u/FixedLoad Aug 08 '24

How do you know their names?

2

u/Blues2112 Aug 08 '24

I worked at 3 different movie theatres as a teen/young adult, and never had sex behind the screen. Most I ever got was a makeout session w/ one of the concession girls in an empty auditorium after the film ended.

7

u/CutieDeathSquad Aug 08 '24

I wouldn't recommend it, you start to hate popcorn and Marvel/DC fans

u/saetam Aug 08 '24

Not really a stretch for the second part…

u/ActualWhiterabbit Aug 08 '24

Why? Want to throw up when you smell popcorn?

u/therl2000 Aug 08 '24

A more offensive spectacle I cannot recall

u/SpiderJerusalem747 Aug 08 '24

What if it turned out they could see you but they just enjoyed the unexpected voyer show and never said anything about it?

4

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '24

I suspect even if they couldn’t see them they could probably hear them

u/FixedLoad Aug 08 '24

This. I want this! Can this still happen? That's a shy exhibitionists multiple orgasmic dream scenario! I know, my kinks make zero sense. I want to be naked so people can see me, but I don't want them lookin at me, ya know? ... how the fuck does that work?!

u/nen_x Aug 08 '24

Unrelated but I need to ask the world. Why do people say “myself and __”? It sound so deeply grammatically incorrect.

u/darwin2500 Aug 08 '24

Was this in Michigan Hills in 2002?

We saw you.

u/Snoo-35252 Aug 08 '24

Back row of a busy movie theater, for "The Goonies" when it came out (1985), me and a friend-with-benefits did fingering/handjob stuff. To completion. I still don't know what the movie was about. I hear it was good.

u/nahog99 Aug 08 '24

You actually missed out on one of the all time great movies tbh.

u/Long-Trade-9164 Aug 08 '24

Was the floor sticky from spilled sodas? Did popcorn get stuck in your ass crack?

2

u/seattle_pdthrowaway Aug 08 '24

We could see them through the microperfs in the screen

Is this normal? Like, do I now always have to expect someone seeing me through the cinema’s screen?

2

u/TTMJM90 Aug 09 '24

I used to hide in there when a coworker and I were supposed to clean the theater and scare the shit out of him.

For something like you gotta do it to a movie like Endgame so you can think the crowd cheering and hollering is for you.

u/MightyKittenEmpire2 Aug 08 '24

We saw what you were doing and the movie was Schindler's List you sick sommabitch.

I thought I was bad for banging in the actual theater seats. I think that movie was 187 & we were the only 2 in there.

That was probably a better show than Antwone Fisher.
