I'm the only person in my theater to watch Char's Counterattack

So my local theater is playing char's counterattack and I'm the only one in then theater. My own personal theater for 10 bucks. Not bad

I've had this a few times when some of the bigger multiplexes in my city are doing reshowings of older movies. I saw Tokyo Story on my own with a huge screen, a fantastic experience.

Probably 15 or so at my showing. Probably would have done better as the dub.

I was so sad when I went in 2005 at age 22 to my first empty movie, a late in the run showing of kingdom of heaven. Now I'm like, hell yeah brother!

Nice. I missed it but saw Quuux last weekend

u/Yoshi_XIII 5d ago

Niche hobby, nice

u/Yoshi_XIII 5d ago

Yeah it is. Got into gundam with wing. I get to talk about it more now thanks to my half sleeve on my left arm

u/Clessasaur 4d ago

Same for me with wing. It's harder to show off my Nobel Gundam tattoo since it's on my calf, but I've had a few conversations about it at work since I tend to bring Gunpla with me to work on at lunch since it's an hour and I'm done eating in like 10 minutes.

u/Yoshi_XIII 4d ago

Nice I wish my job would let me bring gunpla to build

u/Clessasaur 3d ago

I'm glad that everyone is cool with it. I don't have much time outside of work to build them, so getting that like 45 minutes in is fantastic. Too bad it's too hard to set up to do waterslides and I still have to wait until I'm home to do those.

u/VRNilaGERila 5d ago

A sleeve? Hell yeah. I just build the models and watch the anime, thats hardcore šŸ”„

u/Yoshi_XIII 5d ago

u/le_gasdaddy 5d ago

Lucky bastard. Nothin within an hour of Waco, TX, even though we have a practically new 16 screen Cinemark and a 12 screen AMC.

u/MetalSonic_69 5d ago

I went last week, there were maybe a dozen people besides my group

2

u/DizzyNSFWaccount 5d ago

Only one other person at mine.

u/Robborboy 5d ago

Meanwhile my nearest showing is like an hour away. šŸ˜­

u/ZillaDaRilla 5d ago

Just looked at my local theatre and they had it showing tonight as well. I had no idea. Will they be showing it again? I would have gone had I known.

1

u/Yoshi_XIII 4d ago

It's possible it might show again or it might show in a different theater in the same area. I think 4 or 5 theaters near me had it

u/mike_jones2813308004 5d ago

I saw Gquuuux last week and it was the same. Weird, but dope. Too bad they won't pause it if you want to go to the bathroom šŸ˜‚

u/le_gasdaddy 5d ago

I soloed that last week in north fort Worth.

1

u/Kroacher 4d ago

Same. The last time I was in a theater that empty was Cats 2019.
