Warren Littlefield Quotes

I just hope that theaters remain. I think there's something very wonderful about getting into a dark room with a bunch of people. There's something cool about that. Brings us all together in one room where we can experience all those emotions.

Theaters are always going to be around, and doing fine. With computers and technology, we're becoming more and more secluded from each other. And the movie theater is one of the last places where we can still gather and experience something together. I don't think the desire for that magic will ever go away.

Theatrically seeing a movie with a group of people and having a collective experience has an authenticity that you can't get with your big screen television.

The collective experience of watching a great film together in a room is a transcendent moment that will never die.

Something happens to us all when we experience something as a unit that doesn't occur when we're on our couches or holding our little portable DVD players.

I think that theater is a unique way to communicate with people as they gather together with other people they may not even know. It creates a sense of shared community for the time of the performance that hopefully carries over into other aspects of the audience's life because they have shared this experience together.

The desire to share is not a vague, windy sentiment, not when you see the massive rise in live concerts in response to the phenomenon of downloading music... People want to get rid of the headphones and be part of a shared experience.

You as an audience can look at these things as films, but I remember them as social experiences.

No experience exists unless it's a shared one.

There has to be a continuation of the communal experience of filmgoing.

A great horror film works as a communal experience more than almost anything else, except for maybe a comedy. That's something that I've experienced, just taking this movie around and watching it with audiences.

That's part of what I remember about seeing the movies that influenced me: the experience of watching them with a crowd and how they react to something.

The main difference to me with Lyft is the sense of community and social experience. The pink mustache, fist bump and strict screening have fostered a strong sense of community with many stories of new friends, discovered jobs, and even some Lyft hugs after a tough break up.

The best is when we all go at once, like an army of interrelated popcorn zombies who laugh the same laughs and gasp the same gasps and aren’t so germ-phobic with each other that we won’t share a ginormous Coke with one straw. Family is useful like that.

You will see a 3-D movie in a movie theater for the shared experience of it - or for a date, and so on. You don't all sit at home getting your entertainment in a vacuum.

Very often I've known people who wouldn't say a word to each other, but they'd go to see movies together and experience life that way.

I still that that movie-goers like the experience of leaving their homes and going to have a communal experience, especially in comedies or interactive things where you can get an audience reaction to.

I'm not a huge fan of 3-D, though. Honestly, I think that movies are an immersive experience and an audience experience. There's nothing like seeing a film with 500 people in a theater. And there's something about putting on 3-D glasses that makes it a very singular experience for me. Suddenly I'm not connected to the audience anymore.

It seems that laughter needs an echo.

I love that experience of seeing a bad movie or a movie that you don't even know, and then experiencing it with your friend.

Going to the movies still remains, arguably, amongst the best communal experiences that human beings can share.

Few things parallel the bonding that occurs post-performance when congratulatory remarks are awarded, regrets are confessed, and gossip is exchanged.

The average person is gregarious; there is something in the spirit of the crowd that adds to the enjoyment of entertainment.

Our laughter is always the laughter of a group.

Comedy is really best when watched with other people, and I don't really understand people who sit at home watching comedy movies on Netflix.
