It was the musical, so it was not a cheap ticket. I don’t know how they didn’t know it was not going to be supportive of their worldview.

We went to see that one with a group of friends. A couple of people in the group thought it was amazing and deep, and the rest of us thought it was empty and pretentious. We wound up having a very loud two-hour debate in the parking lot afterward.
An older lady and a kid were at South Park in the row in front of me. They didn’t make it 10 minutes.
I think that a lot of people in the Boomer and older age ranges never really understood the idea of adult animation, so they just assume that animated shows and films are made for kids.
(But my favorite Parker/Stone walk-out was the obviously Mormon couple who sat in front of us for the first 30 minutes of The Book of Mormon. The guy had the word “Mormon” embossed on his belt. They didn’t do their homework before they bought those tickets.)
Opening weekend, my then-fiancé (now husband) and I went to see this movie. I had gone way down the viral marketing rabbit hole before the film came out. I had read all of the websites and watched all of the “supporting evidence” videos. I knew it was a work of fiction, but I was super invested.
The movie ends, the final credits roll, and the woman in front of me looks at her date and says, “That was the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. It wasn’t scary at all.” Then she turns around to get her sweater off the back of her seat and we make eye contact.
I’m sitting absolutely still, staring straight ahead, tears dripping off my chin.
She didn’t say anything else, took her things, and left.
I grew up in a fundamentalist evangelical church, and I had a lot of religious trauma around witches as a kid. Like, my mom made me listen to Mike Wernke and wouldn’t let me go trick-or-treating because she believed that witches were sacrificing children to Satan. I had recurring nightmares – well into my 20s – about a witch who lived in the woods behind my house who tried to kill me in horrible ways.
So, while I absolutely understand that The Blair Witch Project is not for everyone, it remains the single most terrifying film I’ve ever seen.
We also would have accepted Rusty Shackleford.
For real. Every time I’m scrolling through a news article and I see a rectangle with an X in the upper-right corner, my initial reaction is, “Oops. Ad. Scroll past.” I’m quite certain I’ve missed some embedded tweets that way.
Baggallini bags are virtually indestructible in my experience. I have a tote and a purse that I’ve used daily for 5 years, and they both look exactly like they did the day I bought them.
This is something I wish that more people understood. In almost any other democracy in the world, Bernie Sanders is only slightly left of center. On a global scale, US Democrats are a center-right party and US Republicans are a far-right party. There are no successful left-wing politicians in the United States.
In some countries, cellular companies still charge for sending text messages to people who have a different provider. WhatsApp is an easy way to connect with all of the people you know without paying extra fees.
And there’s a whole customer interface that lets you order directly from small businesses, which is super convenient if you live in a country that still has a lot of “mom and pop” stores instead of giant superstore chains.
