I really hate that tons of movie theaters are all reserved seating now. Please don’t make the old lady in front of me at the box office pick out a seat on a chart even I can barely read

Reserved seating sucks because a lot of people don’t pay any attention to it and just sit wherever anyways. Then you have to go and have an awkward conversation with them so that you aren’t sitting in somebody else’s seat yourself. Don’t make a job for me.

Exactly. If there's reserved seating, there should also be ushers.

not only that, (reserved seating is fine) but AMC in my area is up charging for the better locations in the middle of the theatre lol

Bring back ushers and let them sit and watch the movie too, but as a stipulation it's their job to go 'SHHHHH' when someone starts talking in the middle of the movie, I think it's a fair compromise.

but, uh... well, there it is

I've never had any problems resulting from reserved seating. In fact it usually means I can get guaranteed good seats as long as I'm buying the tickets a few hours before showtime.

If someone tries to hassle you about sitting in their seat just kick their rear end in front of their family to teach them a lesson about being a nerd

The problem is ok you’re like drat I’m bored, I’m gonna go kill two hours to see the new Blockbuster and get there early but all the decent seats are taken so you go drat well can’t go to that.

So you go to another theater, snag a decent seat and sit down but gently caress your seat is squeaky, or the kids in front of you keep bouncing around, so you move over one and now some guys like “hey that’s my seat.”

It’s a pain man. I just wanna sit down and watch a movie

I cannot express just how silly and petty this sounds to me. But I also can’t imagine ever just randomly going to see a movie on a whim either

I started watching Something in the Dirt. This movie is playing around in this territory where it could easily slip into unbearably obnoxious, but so far it’s staying just south of that line into “extremely my poo poo” territory.

Because there are many people who have things like, I dunno, loving obligations that keep them from doing that.
