Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline, MA did screenings of Shutter Island at Medfield State Hospital on a couple occasions over the past year, where the movie was filmed. They set up a drive-in plot for it. I missed out, but it sounds awesome.

I once came home and found the thermostat/heating cranked to the max. It wasn't even winter. I think the oven was on and open too. All because my older brother was in the Fire Temple in Ocarina of Time. I would never do anything like this for a movie, game or whatever else.

I went to a special screening of A Clockwork Orange last year where everyone was straightjacketed with our eyes clamped open for the entire runtime.

It wasn't as fun as it sounds. The novelty wore off quick.

The Big Lebowski in a bowling alley.

If anybody talks during the movie John Goodman screams SHUT THE FU<K UP DONNIE! at them.

I know that at the HP Studio tour in the UK did a series of screenings where you served butterbeer and snacks. I think you got to watch the films in the Great Hall set.

I wouldn't do that for a movie I love.

- everyone in the audience is courteous. No talking during the movie, no cellphone use during the movie.
- the picture isn't too dark because the projector bulb isn't dimmed.
- the sound isn't too loud or too quiet.
- two matinee tickets purchased for a one o'clock showing aren't as much as buying the Blu-ray in two months.

I know; this is a pure fantasy. Dream big, I always say.

Brutal. Would rather see the film screened at the Korova Milkbar.
