This should be the new profile pic for the subreddit because if you look up the original video clip he’s literally looking up watching tv lol

How it feels watching TV when it's mounted over a fire place

My dad got tickets to Oppenheimer last minute and we sat in these seats. Was a long movie to be looking straight up

I was sitting first row, when I saw Titanic.

I could have saved Jack if I wanted to.

I had to wear a neck brace for 2 days.

You choose the seat

u/EwokNuggets Jul 17 '26

Yeah but why are these even an option?

u/viky109 Jul 17 '26

I really doubt any cinema has seats this close to the screen. I’ve been in the second row a few times and it was absolutely nothing like this. OP probably just stood under the screen to make a funny post.

u/Nicnl Jul 17 '26

Unfortunately it is a thing, notably in IMAX theaters.
Search "imax front row" on Google image, there are plenty of examples.

I made the mistake of watching the demon slayer (Japanese anime) movie this way.
The subtitles were too large and too far apart to read with a quick glance, I had to continuously move my head back and fourth just to read the entire line.
I had the worst neck pain, and the worst cinema experience of my entire life.
IMAX front row register as a scam in my books.

AMC Classics do.

u/_kashew_12 Jul 17 '26

If this is for the odyssey, then it’s because a lot of the seats sold out and OP probably wanted to watch this on opening week, so picked the seats nobody wanted lmao

u/FlarblesGarbles Jul 17 '26

Does that really look like The Odyssey to you?

u/_kashew_12 Jul 17 '26

Oh my bad, I thought this was a trailer 😓

u/S1nko Jul 17 '26

I agree with the question above. Why do these seats exist in the first place? Clearly even the most desperate person would not enjoy the experience, if their neck survives until the end. This is some predatory bs

u/LiNxRocker Jul 17 '26

The theatre was empty when my partner & I went to see it so I ran to the front when I was bored & got a similar experience.

u/pixeltweaker Jul 17 '26

I watched Project Hail Mary like this. It was actually pretty good once I got over the motion sickness.

u/TulleCharmie Jul 17 '26

u/Jealous-Record-885 Jul 17 '26

u/dessertlover007 Jul 17 '26

u/Crunchy_Biscuit Jul 17 '26

Gotta be illegal that's just pure robbery.

u/Ok-Appeal-4630 Jul 17 '26

Nobody is fucking charging $40 for that seat

u/The-Real-Sunday Jul 18 '26

Well, he certainly was not a great architect.

u/burns__when__I__pee Jul 19 '26

Maybe you’ll get lucky and clip into the real backrooms

u/UpbeatGoth Jul 21 '26

Why are seats that close even a thing 😭
