We all know the experience of watching a classic movie at home with a group of friends. We laugh or ponder or discuss, we anticipate dialogue, we rewind when we want, we talk to each other freely.

On the other hand, we also know the experience of big cinema movie watching. In a theater everything is bigger, louder, and shinier, and you sit in a large room full of strangers who (for the most part) remain quiet, sedate and unobtrusive.

TrashTalk Theater brings these scenarios together. It is about how the cinematic experience can be reshaped by using technology to place interactive, crowdsourced commentary at the center of the movie watching experience. This commentary can be serious or silly, and can run the full range from merciless shredding to serious critique. It all depends on the selected film and how well the crowd can think (and type) on its feet. See the About page for more details.
