I don't go to the movies anymore. You have to sit through ads in the beginning, then they pause to sell snacks, and all the while you have to cope with people's disruptions. On top of that, you cannot temporarily enable subtitles or seek back to rewatch a moment. And let's not forget how expensive it is for a single showing. I suppose if you treat it like a real theater or a concert, then it's fine, but it's not comparable to watching a movie yourself or with two friends.
- icebraining 10y agoThat's why I like living in a (relatively) large city. Here we have enough audience to sustain a couple of "weirder" theaters without concessions, ads or interruptions which show older and/or more independent films.
- fossuser 10y agoAgreed, but the movie theaters are in a tough spot here. They're dying - they make almost no money from the ticket sale since the costs of showing movies is extreme. Most people don't go that much anymore because streaming services are quite good and in home TVs are a lot nicer now. A lot of the money they make is from concessions - which is why I usually buy some when I go.
