Lights Camera Action!

Going to the movie theater is awkward and German in just so many ways:
1) mandatory seat reservations - these people love to plan
2) das Pause - the German word for let's awkwardly interrupt your viewing experience for a 15 minute break so that you can forget everything that's happened.
3) commercial breaks - the last preview (read: commercial) was for some type of ice cream bar. Right after it ended they stopped playing the previews and some randos came in to sell us the exact same brand of ice cream. I only consider this German because it was weird. just like them.
