    No shit. Rather pay 20$/m then spend $80per movies to go to the movies. Ticket prices + the obligatory popcorn drinks

    I’ll go see a movie in theaters if I think it will actually be good. I went and saw Godzilla Minus One and and it was awesome other than the 2 jackasses sitting next to me cracking jokes. The real problem is I don’t expect most of the movies coming out these days to actually be worth going to the theater for. So I wait for them to come out on streaming and watch them while doing other shit on my PC. Sometimes I’m pleasantly surprised, usually I’m not.

    More comfortable.

    Cheaper.

    Higher resolution.

    No idiots hooting and hollering and shooting up the screen.

    Pause.

    Subtitles.

    Gee, I wonder why.

    I live in central Europe and I usually just go to the movie theater around the corner. They only have one screen so we check the schedule when there is a movie we want to see and plan for it. Or we go when they play an interesting movie, they often have some independent movies that can be quite interesting. Anyway, we pay 6€ per ticket and we usually take some tea in a flask with.

    That is a movie experience I enjoy, because we go see movies we want to see (as opposed going to the movie theater and just watch something that’s playing), the price is very affordable and I don’t feel like I’m treated as a walking wallet.

    In the larger cities around we can also have the full commercial experience with popcorn and snacks, 12 different movies to choose from including IMAX, but that kind of experience we don’t enjoy (although I used to when younger).
