I'll be honest, I actually loved Ms. Marvel and will definitely watch The Marvels as soon as it hits streaming, but pretty much the only movie I can think of on the horizon that could get me to physically go to a filthy, disgusting movie theater filled with horrible annoying movie-goers is Dune part 2. The experience of going to see films in theaters lost all of its appeal to me in recent years, and there's always one motherfucker on their phone the whole time that no one will do anything about.
Maybe it's because I live in a nice area, or maybe it's because you haven't been to the movies in a long time, but your description doesn't match my recent experiences at all. Even AMC here has a really nice theater now, with big plush reclining chairs, great sound, and nice screens.
AMC's are usually good, but yeah, mileage may vary and I'm in a rural market.
Yeah that didn't ring true at all for me, I definitely don't live in a nice area but the cinema is always extremely clean?
I don't mind the sticky carpets. I don't mind the shitty seats. I don't mind other people making certain noises, eating etc. And if a person is looking at their phone then I don't mind as long as that's it, just looking.
What I do mind, what I absolutely cannot abide, what I find completely unacceptable is the person behind knocking my chair. Once or twice when first sitting down, or when getting up to go to toilet etc is fine. But that's it.
There is no acceptable reason to keep on doing it. NO REASON.
"But I get numb and need to fidget." Then sit behind an empty fucking chair.
"But I'm freakishly tall." That's your problem, but when you continually knock other people's seats it is now their problem as well. Move to an aisle seat, or sit behind a seat that's empty.
"But I'm oblivious to other people, also I selfishly don't care if I'm an annoying twat." Exactly. Don't be like that.
"But I (insert any fucking bullshit you want to try to bullshit about here). SIT BEHIND A FUCKING EMPTY SEAT. It's that fucking simple.
Dune 2 is definitely going to be my next keto break. I'll be having a large popcorn and twizzlers while watching my favourite story come to life.
Fortunately my local theater has recliner chairs and reasonable cleanliness for a movie theater.
Bro why is everything in US so shit? Theaters here even the cheap ones are clean, fine seats and pretty ok screens and most people will stfu except for maybe kids sometimes
Because production companies found out that we don’t need any new IP anymore. America will pay large sums of money to be fed remakes, reboots, and rehashed bullshit from the past.
