🤮
The update I see is priceless
Chefs kiss
So you don’t get the 50 bucks until the movie’s over. Remember to bring your phone.
“Must remain in seats for entirety of film”
“No vomiting either.”
I’m just guessing.
lol found it
Googling the first number shows that it’s a prank number designed to waste time: https://worldofprankcalls.com/beverly/
No offense but I imagine there’s a lot of posts. Once someone makes a joke and it gets shared on social media, repeats are pretty common
oh i know, but this one has more info, and i thought someone might call it for the lolz
It’s probably just their ex or some other person the poster doesn’t like lol
More likely that someone is being funny.
I saw this shared in a local community and someone had confirmed that many of the tickets for a local showing had been purchased likely for just this.
They said it on the Internet so you know it’s true.
Is it though? Didn’t Trump do exactly this for his famous escalator speech?

Allegedly. But on the balance of probabilities, I’d say it’s more likely to be a a joke than someone actually trying to hire actors on Craigslist to watch a movie.
Tragicomedy
Must remain in seats for remainder of film
I can bring my VR headset and noise cancelling headphones to watch a different movie tho, right?
I don’t see a stipulation against sitting there but constantly writhing in agony and screaming “oh God! Please just end it already!”
Then if they try to throw you out, you just loudly explain that you won’t get paid if you don’t sit the whole time.
I will go for $5000. plus free snacks & 1 bathroom break of 10 minutes. And I get to bring a music player with headphones.
I replied offering to pirate it and watch on Livestream for $1000
But why? To pretend people care? To juice box office numbers?
Yes.
It could also be a joke ad. If it is, it’s funny.
This is almost certainly the answer. Once again, Lemmy just doesn’t pick up on satire.
I mean, they were paying people to go to rallies and the inaugural, is it that beyond the pale to question if this is real?
Is there any hard evidence that actually happened?
Here’s an instance in 2015.
Here’s an example of his paying for a fake union rally
Here’s another where workers were told they wouldn’t be paid for the day unless they attended a rally.
I will admit I may have been duped about the inaugural, and his weird military parade nobody went to. Those were Craigslist ads too.
Yeah, all of those were done through legit casting agencies or other organisations, and hired experienced actors.
I still think it’s a joke, not because he’s above this, but because it’s not how his people have typically done this.
Yeah, I tend to agree the more I’m thinking about it
