I haven't been in a theater in three years. Too fucking expensive and none of the movies ever catch my interest. I'll probably break my streak when Where the Wild Things Are comes out, though.

As far as I'm concerned - my 37" HDTV + surround system, privacy of my own living room, comfy recliner, and my own damn food >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> theaters

The last time I went to the movies an immature pseudo rich-guy sat next to me. He was laughing loudly and didn't seem to get the film (It was a documentary about neo liberalism and the financial crisis). He then turned on his iPod and pumped up the volume to the max. In the rows behind me people imitated animal noises. BLOODY BOLLOCKS!

Eh. Too expensive. 10 fucking dollars....and now student discounts(if you can really call that) are only on Thursdays...Oh and Matinees start like at 2 or 3...WTF! Eh, I only go for super awesome movies.....Last one I saw was Watchmen.

I thought you said you only go for super awesome movies.

Good times.

.....I hate you....not really but I am super jealous.

AH yes...there's a theatre like that in some rich suburb near here.

I only go with a group of friends, I do hate going to them though.
People talking throughout the entire movie.
Cell Phones going off.
Overpriced everything.
Even tickets are overpriced there.

Silent Dan Speaks 04.09.2009 05:41 PM

I love going. I think I just like experiencing a movie with more people.

Derek 04.09.2009 06:07 PM

Diesel, I think that's been your most straight-forward post yet haha.

Hm, I've always enjoyed the movie going experiance. No particular reason why, I just would hate the idea of movie theatres going obsolete. Not that's they are going to, at least I don't believe they would, I don't go for the disgusting popcorn, I don't go to laugh or applaude with a group of strangers. I just go to see a good movie. I don't go nearly as much as I used to. If I see a movie every three months, that's becoming more common, I used to go to the movies every two weeks probobly, not so much anymore. I'm picky as hell about what I see, I hate going to the movies just to get out and seeing a medicore film. I like to wait till there is something worth seeing, but yes I still like going to movie theatres.

joe11121 04.09.2009 09:51 PM

Oh! Also, people who shout out during the movie, ex. "That was hilarious!" YES we all know it was funny, we were all listening. If we were def then we wouldn't be at the movies, would we?
And, people who have already seen the movie who come back to the theatre to watch it again, and shout out either things like "A funny part is coming up", or when they give away the ending, or another significant part of the film, ugh! Some people who go to the movies piss me right off.

Lamont Cranston 04.09.2009 10:07 PM

noisereductions you'd like the independent cinemas here in Melbourne they all sell alcohol.
Going to the Astor Theatre hasn't been fun lately, seems like every time I go there is also this fat retarded Asian guy who laughs hysterically at inappropriate moments, calls out as well as ohs & ahs & gasps & yes! & no!, makes a pig of himself taking up two adjacent seats with food and drink, behaves obscenely, and et cetera during the film.
You know the theatre scene in both versions of Cape Fear? Like that but worse and more juvenile.
Completely fucking ruined The Wild Bunch and RoboCop.

honestlly, i prefer the drive in. the regular cinema sucks ( used to workthere, how many of you fuckers need to shoot heroin and cut your toenails whil watching a movie for fucks sake???)

EVOLghost 04.10.2009 01:05 PM

Derek 04.10.2009 01:06 PM

Haha it's pretty expensive though unless you're willing to become a member. Also it's sometimes too arty for its own good, not showing fairly obvious new releases, so sometimes I have to go to a normal-people cinema to see things.

I love going to the movies, however it is only this branch though that I go mostly now.
