   Saw the Minecraft movie with the family. If you know the game or have a kid who does…

   GO. See it THIS WEEKEND.

   It was so, so stupid… and so, so fun.

   Everything was loudly cheered by an entire theater of nerdy middle schoolers, occasionally yelling out smart, funny one-liners. It was like this generation’s Rocky Horror.

   I’m so glad I got to be a part of it. (Really.) I was laughing so hard — at and with the audience — that I was crying.

     @marcoarment Is cheering in cinemas some American thing? I've never watched a movie in a cinema where people cheered loudly or clapped at the end. Not even in crowd pleaser moments like the last Avengers movie.

     @k0bin @marcoarment interesting! Anyway, different standards for audience interaction. It is of course funny and pointless to cheer for a film, since the performers aren't physically there, but the shared experience is pretty awesome.
