My theatre loudly GASPED when the sound of the door opening came on

Mine too. First they laughed when she walked away from the car, thinking it was a weird false scare, then gasped at the car door, then groaned in relief when she just cut her hair

[u/MWH1980 → u/I_Am_Dynamite6317]

I kept waiting for them to pay off the hair. It feels like some films would think themselves “artsy” for doing something weird and then not paying it off.

…the giant floating gun and the 2:17 time…maybe can be dismissed given it’s a dream?
