The theatre experience fucking sucks.
You're beholden to their schedule
It's fucking expensive
It's quite often filthy
Some motherfuckers talk or use their phone and ruin your experience
Other motherfuckers bring babies or small children to more adult films and do not take them out if they start crying
Kids make fun of me when I go see cartoons
Real smoking hot take here.
And, always, some dirty motherfucker has thrown a drink on the screen staining the screen
Another thing that's bad about theaters is you can't pause the movie. If you desperately need a bathroom break, you miss part of the movie
Kinda makes me wonder how often the people that clean up after each screening have to deal with bottles of piss. 🤔
ULPT: That's when you guilt-trip them:
"This was the last thing I watched together with my 8 year old son/daughter before he/she died from cancer" starts crying (it doesn't have to be true, just dramatic enough to shut them the hell up and to make them mind their own bussiness)
Hard disagree it's very much you white fuckers (said with love because I'm white) need to embrace the social experience of a movie.
Horror is peak in theaters.
Drag me to hell was the best experience I ever had. Everyone was talking and yelling in the theater. It was rowdy. I was drunk with my friends. It was an 11/10 experience.
Second was Smile post pandemic the theater was packed it was loud and boisterous.
Serious white people get the stick out your ass and enjoy life
Counterpoint: I ruined The Ring for everyone when that bitch came out the TV and I busted out laughing
Participation with the movie like at a Rocky Horror Picture Show screening is great.
Some dude talking loudly about some bullshit that has nothing to do with the movie is something else altogether and not enjoyable.
Someone shouting "DON'T GO THAT WAY, THE KILLER IS THERE!" in a horror movie would be funny af.
And staff don't do anything about it
