Extra layers of security, intense on-screen action and a frightening incident inside a New York theater combined to create an unsettling experience for some moviegoers who went to see "Joker" on its opening weekend.

A young man who was loudly cheering and applauding on-screen murders sent some people heading toward exits in a crowded theater in Manhattan's Times Square on Friday night. Other patrons yelled at the man, who spit on them as they left early, said Nathanael Hood, who was in the theater.

"I was scared. I'm sure a lot of other people were," Hood said in an interview conducted by private messages.

Social media users posted photos of police, security sweeps and safety notices at theaters in California and Florida. And in Tennessee, a drive-in theater banned moviegoers from wearing costumes to a screening of the R-rated "Joker," which scored an October box-office record with $13.3 million in earnings.



quote:

"About halfway through when Joker started killing people and monologuing about how society is evil he started clapping really loudly and incessantly for a good minute. People started yelling for him to shut up, but he kept clapping and cheering like mad," Hood said.

The man started clapping and cheering again "really loudly" during a climatic gunfight, he said, and got "belligerent" when people told him to quit.

"Finally security came and got him. He was still being interrogated outside the theater when we came out," said Hood. Plenty of police were around the theater, he said.

There are plenty of people in this country who can empathize with that character. Anyone who has ever felt like an outcast, who has felt all alone in the world, can relate. That’s one of the primary reasons why it resonates for so many people. Many people have felt similarly to Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck character, and when he finally fights back, it’s sweet redemption for a lot of folks. Thankfully, not all of them ruin the show for everybody else the way this dickbag did.

Interesting that Hollywood insists on creating the most destructive and degenerate cinema that they can possible muster.

AND THEN HAVE THE GALL TO VIRTUE SIGNAL.

So, people cannot just go to a movie and watch. Shocker.

I will wait for PPV at my house. It looks great. But the mainstream media and minor warnings from police have stirred the hornet's nest.

Nataniel Hood sounds like a pussy.

He gets chased out of a theater by an a-hole. Get the usher/manager to remove his arse.

Being an incel has nothing to do with it. There are plenty of people who are labeled as “weird” who don’t fit in with what is considered to be “normal.”

If you were insinuating that I’m an incel, perhaps you should check this out. I do just fine.

Gimme a break. Interrogated? What a fricking police state.


Sure, the guy was being an arse. Toss him out. The others sound like raging pussies.

I wouldn’t have a problem with that guy being arrested for disturbing the peace. I would never draw attention to myself in a crowded place by doing something like that. I’m not going in the Internet for silly bullshite.

A lot of incels could get laid if they'd settle for a movie theater butter face.
