    “Something has happened post-pandemic where movie theater behavior has really changed,” said one top film executive, speaking on the condition of anonymity. The executive is referring to the younger audiences who have become more emboldened to share this lengthy material from the sanctity of the cineplex, where phones are supposed to be banned.

    I don’t think this “top film executive” has been in a public movie theater for at least 10 years.

      Yeah, young people saw that the veils of society are a sham, that no one is looking out for them, and that Corporations have free rein to do whatever they want, to whomever they want.

      You don’t blame the kids, you blame the political machinery that allowed our culture to reject social norms. And that’s been happening since before the pandemic.

        there is a lot truth in here, and we are only just getting started.

        social contract is utterly broken both plebs and corpos, plebs and regime whores, and inter generational.

        old exploit the young to live their best lives and act indignant about it when called out. they appear to have learnt this from owners of the corpos and regime whores lol

        too many chiefs, not enough indians 🤡

        yarr ;)
