The subway is your mobile dining room, your nail salon, your gym, and a really ineffective fish tank. It is also your living room. Gather around everyone, it's 9 p.m. on the G train and we're watching....what are we watching? Is it The Ring?
"It looked to be some kind of Asian game show or talk show," said the tipster who snapped the photo. "Obviously very important business that waits for no one."
What is the best movie to watch on the subway? If you popped on The Warriors would it puncture a hole in the fabric of space-time?
There's not really a subway etiquette lesson here, but if someone turns your subway car into a movie theater, please remember to silence your pagers and cell phones. Don't even think about popcorn.
