To put it into perspective: Cinemas in Japan are chill, it’s not like American or “Western” cinemas where people shout aloud at hyped scenes or laugh so loud where you can’t even hear what the dialog is or talk amongst themselves causing distractions (or yet, using their phone at max brightness that becomes distracting towards other viewers).

Instead: it’s more on immersing to a movie at your own desire, everyone for the most part is dead silent because they know that they are inside a cinema as courtesy is considered, while I’ve heard that is starting or has already started to decline in the US (& Western nations) since the experience of being in a theater isn’t the same as it used to be.

    Alamo has gone to absolute shit since they got bought out. It really bums me out to see my favorite chain go to “just another movie theatre”
