It was quite an experience. I might have to shush someone having a cell phone conversation behind me describing the movie to a friend. Folks regularly commented on whatever was happening on the screen, including advising characters in the pre-written films what they should do next (sort of like interactive theater minus the actors being able to hear the audience). The bathrooms looked like a war at almost any late night screening (seemingly people had tissue paper fights?). It had a rugged charm if you were going to see a horribly written film with bad acting, since the hijinx would add to the entertainment (think mystery science theater 3000). But if you actually wanted to hear the dialogue? Good luck. LOL. - spirit I used to go to Union Station 9 when I was in college. It was quite an experience.
