Medullah posted:I don't like the varied prices but I guess I'm in the minority that I fuckin love assigned seating at my local theater. Get tickets in advance, show up right before the movie starts and no worrying about getting a poo poo spot. Oh, don't get me wrong, I loving love assigned seating, too. It's changed how I go to the movies for the better. I just think paying extra for certain seats is going to bite them in the rear end.

Yeah, assigned pre-purchased seats are good. As long as more people opt for the cheap seats than the expensive ones then this will end up being a net loss for AMC. If the seats truly are the center, then I can see people just avoiding the center and get the closest thing to it in the case of a lightly populated theater. The thing is though, they long since moved to all luxury recliners in all the screens of my local amc which has lowered the density dramatically. Here's a normal digital screen at my local AMC.  There's not really a ton of room there for seat price segmentation.

It would be funny to see the visible stripe of empty seats up the middle at less-attended showings as they jack up prices. If I went to a theater, but I haven't for 3 or 4 years now, and this really doesn't make me want to.

1st row at the New Beverly are usually the first seats to go because they built them far enough from the screen to give them decent sight lines. There was another theater in Los Angeles that used to have couches for the first two rows.

There’s a quasi-stage at the front for when people are presenting movies or doing Q&A’s and the second row is actually the perfect distance from the screen. Even the front row isn’t too bad.

All these awful boomer rancher cowboy hat truck shows, with the threat of boring Costner westerns on the horizon, and nobody wants any of that, yet we all have been begging for a gritty cyberpunk reboot of Little House on the Prairie, and they won't even throw us a little bone.

Watching Poker Face episode 4 and a small delight as a Mountain Goats fan is that John Darnielle really obviously wrote every song his character is coming up with, the strumming rhythms, lyrics and the fact that he uses an infuriating amount of barre chords (I am trying to learn the songs atm and I hate them) make it very obvious.

I normally find Tarantino movies to be way too long for a theater experience, but I took an edible beforehand and time flew by. I'm just a sucker for poo poo set in the 60s. I need to rewatch Mad Men for the 15th time...

Wait, is the sloppy kid the Mountain Goats man? I'm not actually familiar enough to conjure a song in my head hearing the name but know it regardless, and would've pegged that kid as being in some trash band or other chaotic garagey band type deal.

Just a reminder that John Darnielle is also an author who has written multiple novels. There's Wolf in White Van about a disfigured young man who runs a play by post RPG, Universal Harvester in which a videostore clerk discovers that someone has been recording over movies with disturbing homemade clips and his most recent novel Devil House which follows a true crime author trying to get over his writer's block by going to extreme measures.

Nah the guitarist who keeps playing acoustic songs. Also boy howdy episode 5 lost me hard pure fascist propaganda, fake history poo poo where the 70's leftist feminist movement plotted modern terrorist attacks to kill high schoolers and the white male cult leader is a saint absolved of all sins by cooperating with the FBI while his followers who were horribly brutalised and imprisoned by the cops are portrayed as pure evil, also the major proof relies on not knowing how heartbeats or heartbeat monitors work.

thrawn527 posted:Out of curiosity, where is "over here"? Denmark. All ticket seats are numbered and your ticket says where you sit. Theaters generally operate at three price levels. There are one or two rows in the upper part of the room that has the most expensive tickets (1-2$ more), they almost always have extra legroom. The front 2-3 rows are the cheapest (1-2$ cheaper), and the rest of the seats have the standard price

Goons tend to be hyperbolic but the reaction to S2 was so unanimously appalled that I just never bothered to watch it. Also, the world is a more interesting place for having an hour of TV about gran’ma Crusher’s Celtic alien sex ghost, it’s so loving absurd that it wraps around to un-bad.
