there’s movies a beer or two at the theater will make an entertaining enough watch

and then there’s some better done at home because you need a six pack or two

I saw Last Jedi in theatre and the best part was a guy screaming poo poo in the front row while everyone told him to shut the gently caress up. Hollering stuff like ‘and that’s why you don’t bring a lightsaber to a Star Wars!!!’ in the silence after the light speed kamikaze scene, or ‘aaarrRRRGH NIPPLES’ at shirtless Kylo

Anyways he left an hour before it was over and as he stood up we heard a cascade of beer cans fall off him and roll down the aisle.

as good as any sonic game imo

That’s a whole lotta words to say “Looks like Bowser kidnapped Peach again. Go to these random wacky places (Egypt! A Toy Box!) and jump on some heads till you run out of places”. The simplicity is part of the charm. It’s all just excuses to do funny vignettes. Why does the mushroom kingdom have ancient Egyptian ruins? Because Mario jumping on a mummy makes for a good time that’s why.

If you're willing to spend $30 you can go to one of the "fancy" theaters that kicks those people out on the spot

but even the best case scenario, I'm still sitting through a way too long movie where 90% of my left and right auditory fields are just people crunching on popcorn because god forbid you should have to go without grazing

if you can adjust your understanding of "a good movie" then this is also a legitimately fantastic movie

I see people complaining about hearing food eating in theaters and it makes me think I must be partially deaf. I've been to hundreds of movies in my life and can't think of a time I ever noticed the mouth noises of someone eating over the surround sound

if anything, the comfy seats with the sound built in and being able to buy beer and reserve you spot have made the movie experience better than it's ever been
