I think at this point they could make the "Hawk Tuah Skibidi Movie" and people would clap and throw popcorn in the air every time they say a brain rot catchphrase from tiktok.
And honestly I'm ok with that, the only people there know what they are signing up for.
Sounds fun, not sure what's there to be theatrical about
And that's one more reason why I'll never go back to a cinema.
I find it funny that the article uses a quote from Moist Critical's video on it (as well as I think Schaffrillis Productions and PhoenixSC, I know I've heard the quotes before on youtube) and they leave it anonymous as to who said it

I saw it with my kid today. There were a bunch of applauses to references which I didn't get (never played Minecraft). The chicken jockey and honestly can't remember the others, but there were like 3 more. It is annoying because the people who made the film can't hear you. Having said that, I attributed it to the people likely being kids who don't know how to act in a theater.
It could be so good while high, imagine these bombs dropping ‘chicken jockey’. I don’t get it at all but it sounds like good fun or at least bizzare experience
Saw it last night, can confirm audience went wild with chicken jockey and flint and steel. Honestly didn't think it was too bad, but I think part of the trend is also to fling fucking popcorn all over the place because when we went in the theater was spotless, and when the lights came back on, it was like a fucking popcorn bomb went off in there, the worst I've ever seen in my life; honestly felt bad for the employees.
Cranks be banished. Half the fun of going to popcorn movies is the experience of talking to it with the rest of the audience. If you can't enjoy collective experiences then just stay at home desolately weeping with your criterion collection. stfu!
The criterion collection includes a series of 1980 Hong Kong horror comedy films that feature slapstick and kungfu that has a guy in a gorilla costume chasing people down a hill, people arguing in animal noises, horny ghosts, and a competition between 2 monks to see who can get their shrine higher on stilts.
Don't shit on the criterion collection catalogue.
Damnit Janet
A toast!
Meatloaf again?
Oh thank god. I saw it the first night in theaters and it was just a damn riot. Like I get why people complain about the behavior. But the movie really goes well along with it.
I was in tears from laughter by the end of the movie. I don't know what was intended and what wasn't, but I definitely had more fun than my kid.
Really? I don't get it. I chuckled a couple times at Momoa, but otherwise it felt like listening to a kid describe the game for 2 hrs. Like "HEY HEY HEY! We got Jack black to do his shtick to hide the fact that we didn't use any writers!"
I too loved it. Its almost as good as watching keys being dangled infront of my face.
Reminds me of the Rocky Horror Picture Show stuff
One of the things I want to do before I die. Watch a Midnight screening of RHPS with everyone singing along.
My favorite part was when the Minecraft guy said, "it's craftin' time" then he crafted all those mines.
Mine was when Master Chief showed up in the post-credits and suggested he and Steve should team up and then both shouted "It's time to play Xbox™ One™"
He actually does say "First we mine, then we craft. Let's Minecraft!"
Several videos captured by cinemagoers show audiences chanting the line along with Black, before whooping and clapping loudly. On social media, many people attested that they had witnessed, or participated in, similar outbursts.
“My theater clapped every time Jack Black name dropped a Minecraft item that was in the trailers, and when he said Chicken Jockey I s* you not the entire row in front of me gave a standing ovation,”** one person shared.
“Just got back from watching the movie myself, can confirm everyone in the theater collectively yelled ‘CHICKEN JOCKEY’ during that moment and it was glorious ngl,” wrote another.
“This is what made me love my experience more, bc even though the movie wasn’t as bad as i thought it was going to be, the packed cinema with everyone shouting, clapping and cheering whenever jack black name dropped something genuinely gave me so much joy,” commented someone else.
This sounds like a Red Letter Media skit lol
We're well on our way to ASS, from Idiocracy.
I'm sorry but I just can't believe that this is actually happening. This sounds so fake. What seems more reasonable, that crowds are going crazy in the theater and chanting to something from the (widely panned) trailer, or that the producers paid a couple people to write fake testimonials?
My son got invited to a birthday party for it. Theater was 90% 5-12 year olds. This really did happen. In Australia where I don't usually see this kind of thing, even when I've heard about it for other movies.
A guy that looked mid teens literally yelled "shut the fuck up!" at one point which just made them all laugh and go more crazy.
Have you met the tiktok generation?
I want to unalive myself if this is actually what we can expect from them
I don’t think the people who are shitting on the trailer online are in the target demographic…
I mean, I've been playing Minecraft for longer than I can remember and I definitely only said bad things when the trailer came out. I guess I'm just out of touch or something.
I feel the same way, I would lose self respect purchasing a ticket... idk it feels like someone took an important part of my childhood and decided to ruin it.
It's better than the trailers made it look. It's not a master piece, but I went in expecting to be disappointed and was surprised. It was decent. On par with the Mario movie overall.
No it absolutely is not. The Mario movie was done with love for the game. This was written buy a guy who's only understanding of the game is a 30 minute conversation with his enthusiastic nephew. I have never once left a theater feeling more "meh" in my life.
You're entitled to your opinion. As someone that is a fan of both and played both extensively my opinion is they're about on par with each other, which is "decent but not amazing", "I wouldn't actively tell anyone to avoid it, but I'm not hassling people to go see it either", and, "I didn't feel I'd wasted my money entirely, but I'd have been just as happy to see it at home later on".
I don't understand why you would say this.
My experience when watching the Minecraft Movie was of shock and awe. It was a fantastic experience, probably the best I ever had in a movie theater. We cried and laughed together, chanted the same quotes as one, as if our awareness had fused, as if our thoughts and feelings acted as one: a single, beautiful entity that merges and encompasses everything, becoming part of a true collective. The only true path towards peace, a peace that will engulf us all, permanently, setting us free from any wrong choice, our distinctiveness becoming part of a whole. Why would you fight it? Why would you deny this fate to others? This is the only salvation.
Resistance is futile.
Can confirm, saw this behavior in person
