64 h. ago Is it OK to talk at the cinema? How about if it’s just during the trailers? | Polly Hudson

Some might argue that streaming movies at home has given us all etiquette amnesia. But when it comes to disrupting a screening, I think the rules have some nuanceThe true mark of friendship is understanding each other well enough to successfully mime an argument in the dark. This isn’t a metaphor, but a fact I discovered last weekend at the cinema. My friend and I were chatting as we took our seats, but once the trailers began, we stopped to watch them. The people directly in front of us? Not so much. Instead, they carried on with their conversation – if anything a little louder, so they could be heard over the Dolby surround sound.My friend performed the internationally recognised double-open-palm gesture for: “What’s with these guys, huh?” I shrugged, as if to say: “Yeah, but whadda ya gonna do?” Soon, we were gesticulating back and forth so fast and furiously that, if we’d been holding sticks instead of popcorn, we could have started a fire.

2 w. ago ‘We want to use this as a launchpad’: can A24 also conquer the world of theater?

Cultish indie studio behind hits such as Moonlight, Uncut Gems and Materialists has taken over a New York theatre for $10mOn a recent Saturday night in downtown Manhattan, a sold-out crowd at the Cherry Lane Theatre delighted in one of the most bizarre sights in recent New York stage memory: comedian Natalie Palamides, dressed as if in split screen – her left side bedecked in Y2K girl signifiers (butterfly clips, low-rise jeans), her right in bro clothes (cargo pants, flannel) – barreling across the stage and tangling with herself. In her one-woman show Weer, the Los Angeles-based clown plays two halves of a toxic relationship over three late-90s years, flipping between perspectives with the velocity of a spinning top.The show is difficult to describe and perhaps more difficult to market, as well as gloriously unhinged and riotously funny – a bold gambit for a performer, as well as for the new Cherry Lane, the West Village staple recently renovated and reopened by A24.
