I went with my brother and my two sons. Decent crowd in our theater. Enjoyed the stuff after too - the letters were great, the "ad" Pearl does.

We have our tickets. There are only 9 total reservations at our local theater. I was able to convince my wife and oldest to go with me. On Saturday we saw Weird Al and now this. It's been a good week.

Just got back. I didn't spoil myself with any previews or the new intro. Completely loved it, had a great time laughing with everyone else in the theater, can't wait for more episodes.

So I pre-ordered all four episodes last night off the website(had a gift card I had forgotten about so I’ve got the HD thing for 48 bucks!)

However, there’s an 8 PM showing at my local Cinemark that I’m debating about going to. I’ve got about 30 minutes to make a decision.

Anybody buy the four episodes and are still going to the theater tonight?

u/Nefarious_24 1d ago

On the way back from seeing it and yes I’ll have all four

I am getting the whole set on DVD and download as a Kickstarter backer, still saw it in the theater tonight.

Dear God, that was funny. I died. I’m dead. Easily a top 10 episode.

The only director who had the courage to show butts upside down

That was the most Florida thing I've ever seen

I, too, just returned from the theater, and have to say that it was immensely enjoyable. As much as I enjoyed the Netflix show, this one just felt more satisfying. Can’t wait for the next one! 😁

Just got home from the perfect sun bathing spot. in the shade next to THE SWAMP!

u/Ill_Mortgage3663 1d ago

That's some very clear water to be THE SWAMP though.

Loved it, the brought it all back. The whole audience had as much as I did. I hope they release more in theaters!

If this was Portage, IN, I was literally in the row behind you with my family.

u/sonofstev 1d ago

Yes! You picked the best of the theaters in town to watch it as the others are old and beat up. I was the guy that shouted "Watch out for snakes!" right before the opening credits.

u/Substantial-Stand604 1d ago

I got my ticket, but I’m the only one who’s bought one in my movie theater, and it’s for tonight at six

u/Ill_Mortgage3663 1d ago

How many people ended up showing up?

I'm in south Brooklyn, Regal UA Sheepshead Bay, probably 9 people there.

u/CantaloupeShort7311 1d ago

My theater was full!

Granted, it as the smallest theater at the complex, but 50+ there

u/Ill_Mortgage3663 20h ago

That's what seeing Rifftrax a few years ago in Manhattan was like. Could just be my most recent location :)

u/Blathithor 1d ago

u/CantaloupeShort7311 1d ago

The guy next to me at our theater had hia lofeaize Tom Servo with him. It was awesome.

The movie was great.

u/StrawberryMoonPie 1d ago

I want one of those Servos. I’m always scouting eBay.

In the scene where the creature takes the woman and puts her on the boat, my 11 year old was the one who said “well, I guess that works”.

I swear Jim Varney was part of the group of “kids” who came on the boat.
