- ahmedalsudani 5y agoSome would argue that your bladder was doing you a service ;)
- hughrr 5y agoI think the films were fairly enjoyable as long as you don't turn up with a film critic's hat on. But yes, missing 5 minutes probably wasn't a big deal at the end of the day.
- DubiousPusher 5y agoIt's gerting harder to be less of a snob. Years ago I decided to stop turning my nose up at "dumb" movies and just enjoy them but it feels almost as if the industry saw it as a challenge to make people like me scoff. The fandom and fauning is just endless and inescapable to the point tbat it is very hard to ignore. It was also easier when we were getting big budget art pieces like "No Country" and "The Master" but those seem to have all but disappeared.
- hughrr 5y agoThe trick I find is to drink enough alcohol before you get there not to give a shit any more. Whether or not that's a good or a bad idea I haven't established yet.
- thanhhaimai 5y agoThe pause button is just one part of the "complete control" package the in-home experience is. Missed a sentence? Rewind it. Watch some international movie? Turn on the subtitles. Enjoy some explosion scenes? Turn up the bass? Wanna relax with a drink and chat? Lower the volume. Watch a food scene and suddenly feel hungry? Put a pack of popcorn in the microwave. I'd only go to theater for social events, not for the movie itself anymore. I'm way too spoiled by the freedom at home.
