13273044, I rarely ever go to movie theaters anymore. Twice in 10 years.

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.
