What are you gonna do? Charge me with standing up?
@RVLara23 @raganwald No, you won't get the promised $50. OTOH, this is kind of a Trumpish promise, so don't expect the $50 anyway.

@raganwald I predict a vast number of empty seats at many theaters when they show this film.

'Don't the flyer have some pretty specific things to say about leaving your seat during the screening?'
'Quite specific. It it, however, somewhat fuzzier around the subject of holding up big posters with ad hoc slogans on both sides.'

@raganwald a nice dark room, a comfy chair, no loud explosions. Sounds like being paid to have a nap.
-
@raganwald Do I understand this correctly, you will be paid to watch this movie in its entirety?
I think it's more "paid to attend" this movie. They can't make you watch it.
Bring a book. Better yet a boombox from last century.

@raganwald
does free + 50 bucks mean that they pay you for that? and just 50$? -

@raganwald at the end of the film you’re handed a $50 QR code for a Trump Bible (cost $100 + $50 shipping and handling - please allow infinite time for delivery)

@raganwald Are these free tickets $50 or is that what you get paid to watch?
I don't get it.

@raganwald Their sycophantic obligations require they provide pictures of packed theaters to keep someone in a good mood.

@raganwald Admittedly, if I were in my early 20s and they also provided Open Snack Bar, I would probably do it. Would crush a half dozen hotdogs or something.

@raganwald @pluralistic You know, I watch a lot of movies - I watched almost 300 movies last year. I also watch a lot of bad movies for fun. I went to a screening of Cats and I enjoyed myself - there were impromptu audience “burlesque” performances to the music.
I think that would be the only scenario where I could see myself watching this movie - an underground cinema with an audience that is there to mock it.
It needs a double feature with something very anti-fascist like IngloriousBasterds
@renata @raganwald @pluralistic it's the new Rocky Horror!

it's either this, or sell my plasma.

@renata I call for someone to "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" Melania: Drop both the soundtrack and the dialogue, overdub the entire thing as an absurd comedy.

@CDubbs These are people who take pictures of protests and claim they are pictures of Trump supporters at his inauguration. I don't think they would bother paying people to go when Grok can fill a theatre with CSAM waifs.

Yes bring earplugs and a sleep mask.

@raganwald *sigh* found this on the ad on Craigslist just now.
I hope a *lot* of the people who responded to the ad did so with the plan of claiming the tickets and then not showing up. I really, really hope so. -

@renata @raganwald @pluralistic
This needs a special MST3K Cinematic Titanic treatment -
@raganwald One possible source of this is a craigslist posting actually claiming to pay people to attend the show, with your entry fee payed.
