Am I alone in never wanting to go to the movie theaters ever again? I grew up with movies, going to the theater, etc. Yet, I don’t see any reason to ever go back.
>expensive tickets >disgusting theaters >annoying cunts that ruin the experience >overpriced snacks >spending so much time going all the way to the theater
Why even bother anymore? Movies come out in about a month now. If I really wanted to see a movie, I’ll just wait a month or two, buy the Blu-ray, and watch it from the comfort of my home. A safe environment, clean space, and no assholes to deal with. It’ll be even better once I upgrade to an OLED TV with surround sound.
I just don’t see the appeal anymore. I used to go all the time, but once theaters opened again it put into perspective how awful going to the movies really is now.
>Am I alone in never wanting to go to the movie theaters ever again? yes Remember that they sometimes re-release classics.

Places like The New Beverly and the Mahoning Drive-In are where I like to go nowadays. No home theater can replicate the the experience of an old film print on the big screen with some friends. Especially when actors and directors are in attendance.
100 foot screens and massive surround sound. Why else? are you fucking retarded? its so obvious that the only thing you can get at the theatre is the reason you would go

What is the STRANGEST theater experience you've ever had?

I can't even go because i refuse to get their gay little shot+another shot every couple of weeks or so because they can suck my smelly, sweaty hairy balls. Had covid like 2 weeks ago, noticed a slight tickle in my throat for a day. So fucking gay.

I enjoy watching flicks on the big screen, but horror movies are terrible. Nothing but teen girls screaming at nothing, like it's some competition to see who can pretend to be the most scared
Logan Kelly
Crackhead tweaking next to me.

>no assholes to deal with I mean, if you're running into assholes all the time, chances are you're the asshole lol

>It's like $8 >what theaters are you going to? >Sometimes yeah, but the staff usually get rid of them if you complain once >I'll give you that >Again. What theaters are you going to? I have 2 within 15 minutes of where I live and another a little further

I have a $3000+ setup at home but I still love going to the cinema No roomate/brother/sister/mom/whoever barging in the room, no tasks/problems you suddenly remember you have to do, no phone notifications or calls, no temptation of looking up stuff you see in the film on the spot, no option of pausing the film 12 times, you just have to sit there and experience the film as a whole at once with absolutely zero distractions like it's intended to be experienced (I'm from Europe so I never had a single bad cinema experience like I hear here often)
A bit of true escapism, I love it. Not to mention the huge ass screen and pristine sound and acoustic treatment of the room where you are literally not aware of the speaker placement making it feel as if you're plunged into the environment of the film itself.
I will probably go a couple times a year since our theater is in a nice outdoor mall so it's cool to get dinner and walk around before and after but the movie is just a minor part. I went and saw the last duel and it was good but it was on HBO Max like a month later so what's the point.
Streaming platforms are starting to nail blockbuster flicks now too. I thought Red Notice was much more enjoyable than the new fast and furious movie I saw in theaters and the only other interesting upcoming action movie is the Netflix film with Ryan Gosling. I would never pay for capeshit which I think is pretty much the only reason theaters still exist and they'll probably die with capeshit in the next five years.

No. Tickets and food are extremely overpriced and I have no intention of making rich jews richer if I can help it. Plus I just have no desire to see new movies, they’re all pozzed trash. If anything interests me, it does t interest me enough to want to pay to see it. And if something did interest me enough to want to pay, it always makes me lose interest when I realize it’s going to be pozzed such as the first Disney star wars jackass 4 or dune. I haven’t been to the theaters since 2014 except to see blade runner 2049 and for a couple of early dates with my gf back in 2018 before we got comfortable enough to not need to use the movies as a crutch for an easy date. I have no intention of ever going backs again since Hollywood and all of television and film gets worse each year.
Luis Taylor
Yes, I want day one streaming to be the default so I can pirate everything as soon as it comes out instead of waiting for a home release.
If the movies good you would ignore all those interruptions but the reality is most movies are shit. I often find myself more wishing I could browse my phone in a theater than the opposite.
Also it's a pain not being able to pause and have to choose between holding in piss for an hour or potentially missing a critical scene.

Move out of Burgerland, tickets are €5 on Thursdays for me, no annoying cunts as it's basically empty and we don't spend ridiculous amounts of money on snacks because we aren't fat fucks who can't sit still for 2 hours without eating junk food.
Easton Parker
Not super strange but there was this old guy that kept laughing at all the terrible jokes in the film and was saying like "oh shit!" and "watch out!" I wish I could remember the movie but it honestly was too funny to bother me
Sebastian Bell
Went to see The Last Jedi at a special early screening and 3 guys showed up in Star Wars shirts unironically. That's about as crazy as it gets when you aren't in America where people do backflips and some redditors cum hits the back of your head when Tugboat Maguire shows up on screen
Jeremiah Cook
Most movies can easily cut out 20 minutes what's wrong with checking the weather or the score of the game, or looking up that movie you recognize the irrelevant side character from.
And I COULD hold in my piss for an hour I'd just rather not pay $20 to do it.
Logan Wood
I don't go to theaters anymore for the same reasons
I agree.
John Cruz
>movies can easily cut out 20 minutes what's wrong with checking the weather ok so now you're just baiting
Matthew White
But you haven't seen the movie if you check your phone or pause it to go piss, you haven't even truly watched the movie if you are thinking about the weather or a sports game. You are just consooming this shit to see how it ends user, it's not healthy
