I’d hardly consider a movie theater a liminal space. To me a theater is a destination, not a transitional area.

That said I do like your description of “falling through the skin of the world.” A+.

Try seeing the movie using https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48018066 and sit in the center back row so that you can see the entire empty room as you watch it. Obviously this doesn’t work if everyone does it their first time (though I see some empty seats just a half hour away, so for evening Sunday showings it might be solidly reliable); I bet it hits different the second time too :)
