These theatres are going too far with their immersion.

I went to one of these for the latest Indiana Jones film and immediately regretted it. The seats move way too much, and often during scenes when it doesn't make sense for them to be moving. I'm talking several feet of movement; the fuckers should have seat belts.

Also for some reason there was a strobe light to the left of the screen and it kept randomly going off for some reason. Never figured out what that was about...

nearly kills her

Based on the picture of the broken square section, I think that might be a bit of a stretch...

But "person avoids injury at final destination screening" doesn't have that same allure.

Yeah she got a small bruise on her arm.

Great now she is in an eternal struggle with death. Good luck lady.

That’s a hardcore origin story.

A ceiling tile landed on a drummers head during a practice session and one of the others guys laughed and said "God smacked you". That's the origin story of how Godsmack got its name.

Did that happen a second time?

Did it happen another time?

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago

Has it happened before?

I was thinking about this, which was posted shortly ago: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/photo-theater-roof-final-destination/ Apparently wrong, though.
