13273044, I rarely ever go to movie theaters anymore. Twice in 10 years. Posted by flipnile, Tue Jul-10-18 09:58 AM
For me, it's the noise. Shit makes me angry hearing people shove junk food into their faces and loudly crunch and/or talk with that shit in their mouths. Eventually, I can't focus on the movie dialog, just someone smacking on some sugary/salty shit, or swirling the ice around in their 1/2 gallon soda, or crinkling cellophane bags, etc. Last straw was some lady that kept shaking her popcorn bag around during a quiet movie.
Also:
- Dickheads playing with their fucking phones in the dark-ass theater - People walking back and forth - People talking about things that aren't on the screen in front of us
Just not worth it anymore, especially with these nice home entertainment systems out now. I don't have ADHD or any other brand of short attention span, and I don't like to be limited by those that do.
I prefer immersion, which just isn't possible in most theaters.
