I guess when you're in graduate school, every thing is a social experience -- even going to the bathroom.

But, seriously, movie viewing can be a social experience -- with people with whom you have common connections -- fellow students, friends, family, etc. But what you see on the screen is exactly the same whether the theater is empty or filled with the entire USC and UCLA graduate film school faculty and student population. The nature of the experience can change, of course, depending upon with whom you view the film.

As to your comments about experiencing a comedy, I give you that point -- what do you think the laugh track on comedy TV shows is for? OTOH, and speaking personally, watching "American Pie" with a room full of teenagers and then watching it with one other person, not a teenager, the film did not seem all that funny the second time.

But the change is all in your perception of the event, not the event itself. That's not the case with a live performance of music or drama.
