mcmagic posted: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 Honestly insane that the debate has continued past this, which is basically a OHKO for the reserved seating defenders.

What do they have to do with me? I just wanted to see a movie on a random day and not be forced into sitting on squeaky chairs or last time a straight up broken chair. Like the thing was mangled when I walked up to it.

Well, the better theater is smaller and the seats go quicker. So I’m left with the shittier theater. I think it’s funny that the idea of being a movie fan and being bored and seeing a movie on a whim during time off is a weird notion, and complaining it’s hard to do that sometimes being something that is causing a fight is just a bit deranged.

All of the theaters in my area have converted to the big recliner seats, which I do like, but there's something about the old fashion lovely folding theater seats that I miss sometimes. They just have a certain vibe that's missing with the new setup.

The quality of the seats and the issues I’ve had come directly from my inability to walk into a theater 15 minutes early, on a whim, on a day off, and sit wherever is open. I think you’re mad at something that has nothing to do with me.

MacheteZombie posted:It owns yeah it ended up not going into obnoxious. A bit long, I think an hour 55 was too much for two dudes in a weird room.

Poor families are still going to do worse at visiting the theater than poor old CP. It's still really hard to comprehend your argument. CP is stating a matter of personal preference and you're not only getting really angry about it framing it as an ethical argument, but you're also citing "poor families" as if assigned seating benefits them in some way that's apparently significant but totally vague. I guess it's nice to see if a popular showing has enough seats left for your kids when you buy the ticket?

One the one hand I don’t think assigned seating is a big deal or should cause all these issues except in extremely specific circumstances (like, just randomly deciding to pop into the biggest movie released that week 5 minutes before a show is such a weird concept to me idk). On the other hand the idea that stating a preference on this issue is an example of disgusting privilege is one of the legitimately most insane things I’ve seen in this thread in long awhile so I say let’s see how far this train takes us lol

The arguments against assigned seating so far have amounted to a family being annoying because they arrived late looking for their seats, and CP wanting to change seats because his were squeaky.

Can’t I change my seat if the very act of shuffling disrupts the film? (Once I moved just to the front row for a better seat and then a family showed up and was like…hey that’s our seat. So I moved back to my mid seat lol)

Pre-reserved seating: jump in a line (like the lower class) to wait an hour for two teens tell you they are holding the entire row for their group of friends. Reserved seating: middle seats have been bought up for months since the initial announcement. Now you gotta sit on the side or back row (like the lower class).

Assigned seating rules because it sucks having to show up to a theater unnecessarily early just in hopes of getting a good seat. And we've all done the "i'll stand in line for the popcorn, you go into the theater and find some good seats. I'll find you when I come in" gently caress that. That poo poo sucks.
