I used to love going to the movie theaters. A lot of things ruined them over the years. The cost: A family of five plus snacks is topping out around $60-70 nowadays. Totally ridiculous for a movie. Fellow moviegoers: people aren’t there for the movie anymore. They’re talking, they’re on their phone, they’re talking on their phones, doing selfies with flashes. I remember going to see
Contact opening night and during the silent part at the very beginning you could hear a pin drop in the theater. Would never happen now. Nobody even gets kicked out for shitty behavior now. The physical facilities: everything just seems dirtier and grimier and just falling apart now. The whole thing has just turned into a terrible, expensive, uncivilized experience.
Meanwhile, home theater technology has never been better. 7.1 surround, amazing displays, you can pause, eat food that you like, and being at home is so much better in every way than being out with the savage public.
Good riddance to movie theaters.
