This is why we cannot have beautiful things, people. The recent publication of "Minecraft Film" (which Whitney Seibard has considered pretty positive for us here) These days, there was nothing less than a boon to theaters with amazed theaters, waking up a lot of sleeping cashier who was not even able to rely on the usual Blockbuster price to help keep things. But as evidence that there is always an affectionate string, the trend of viral social media has emerged about the incredibly popular video game film that does not cause headaches for theater staff.

If you somehow avoided seeing all those clips on Twitter (or, if you're total Nerd, X) and Titel, this is what you missed. Should not surprise that, Given how well the "Minecraft movie" breaks the multiplexThe theaters were absolutely packed with young, exciting fans who basically grew up with the game as a major part of childhood - and, yes, just to soak that sentence, makes this millennium feeling unbearable Old. But maybe there is such a thing as being Also Explicitly, because videos have flooded social media where the audience shows entirely on a particular scene in the film. We are talking "Avengers: Endgame" or "Spider-Man: No Day Home" Hysteria Levels Here, People. The younger film movements were packed in the cinemas for "Minecraft Film", they stepped up as they attended a concert, and pure crashing all the popcorn review and other debris during a very specific scene involving, uh, chickens.

This has become such an online sensation that processed theater employees (rightly) are complaining to clear the massacre, director Aredar Hess has been asked to comment on it, and even the police have been called on several occasions to calm things down and throw out the highest incentives. Oh, and on at least one occasion, someone actually entered a live chicken in the theater (see above). Wild. Here is the low level of what is happening with "Minecraft Film".

If all this was PSO-OP just to grow adults to write about an extremely rare occurrence in a video game for children, well, it works. Hollywood reporter He has published a full investigation into this phenomenon and, as with most teenage memes on the Internet, the whole noise around this minecraft trend is most ironically done. In the game, only the happiest players were able to witness cases that include so-called "chicken jockey"-in essence, a baby zombie that drives chicken and can kill you. I don't know, people, but obviously very exciting. Of course, "Minecraft Film" adapts this aspect of the game at a crucial moment in the movie ... And once it came out, the fans went out to be encouraged to prepare each other.

Obviously, this includes the most hordes of teenagers who packed theaters to buy tickets (very good work!), Buying many concessions (also good!), And immediately throwing their food and drinks in the air while screaming and shooting chaos on their phones in stunts designed to go on the internet). According to Thr, Individual Movie Theaters have had to begin issuing warnings about Proper Moviegoing Etique Experiences on Reddit-A Continuation of a Pandemic-ARA Trend Where, As Any Ardent Film Fans Can Tell You, It Seems Like Moviegoing Audiences have Completely Forgotten how to lose in public spaces.

Is this something more than an example of harmless, funny online stupidity ... Or is the Twitter film going to war against "Minecraft Film" and his noisy goal of demography? While the larger theater chains were not only weighed with any official statements telling people to chill (and, according to Tra, they probably won't because those types of fingers only tend to worsen the situation), director Aredar Hess believes this is not that Great deal. The filmmaker was asked about the trend in a recent interview with Theujork TimesWho described his reaction after the videos began to turn to social networks: "It's too funny. It was a total explosion. I just laugh at the brain every time someone sends me a new video."

At a time when directors and study and theater owners are also desperate to make films that actually motivate people to see them in theaters, Hess's approach is exactly the tactics I expected. No one wants to be a porridge that discourages someone to want to see "Movie Minecraft" and turn the pop culture into a pop culture, but there is still such a boring question to disturb other clients who pay and make the lives of already processed theater staff so much harder. But as Hess continued to put it diplomatically:

"Only the fact that people make memories of movies - this is what we are working on. That's why we do it. I could never expect this level of passion and fun and madness that is happening."

For those of us who want to descend to preserve the sanctity of the Moviegoing experience, that Genen is good and really out of the bottle. Well, "Minecraft" is probably not the type of film that we necessarily expect from any case. At this point, anything It attracts people in cinemas is probably net positive ... but maybe just leave those living chickens where they belong, yes?

"Minecraft" is currently playing in the cinemas. In case you missed it, here it is Our decay on the stage of the film's post-credit.
