Papa Emeritus III posted:On another note, I have never set foot into an iMax theater. Are those badass and worth the extra dough? I don't hear much about them anymore in comparison to about when Avatar came out and I'm wondering if it was just a fad or did the immersion make people feel seasick too drat much? this depends a lot on which imax theatre you go to. if you go to one of the "true" imax in like a museam or the ontario place cinisphere if will be amazing and worth the money because those screens are absolutely huge. but there are a lot of "fake" imax theatres out there where they project imax film onto a normal theatre screen. if your local multiplex is advertising imax (without constructing a big new building) It's the fake kind. There is barely any difference between "fake" imax and a normal movie, save your money.

The tray tables make noise and can suck my rear end The theatres with the recliners haven’t figured out how to serve a drink I don’t have to try and enjoy while spilling it on myself like a river otter because it’s 18” tall I’m going to have to start bringing my own crazy straw

UltraRed posted:The are parts that suck about reserved seatings such as you can't swap seats if there are annoying people until you're sure nobody has the seat you're moving to. This was a big problem when MoviePass was a thing. People would reserve a seat and then just show up whenever. Why do you need to sit together? It's not like you're gonna be talking to each other during the movie anyway. Also if you REALLY need to sit with your group you can just ask if anyone sitting around them is willing to switch seats.

i just want my mom to be able to sit in a handicap-accessible spot. every time we book tickets online and pay a convenience fee... only to have to stand in line when we get to the theatre. and then all these goddamn children are sitting in the handicap seats. get off my lawnwhen we went to deadpool 2 the chucklefucks next to me ruined the experience by commenting on EVERY action for the first 20 minutes. i couldn't move seats because they were ~reserved. i did finally ask them to please be quiet but I shouldn't have had to. there are a few theatres in town that don't have reserved seating. i'll take them over the heated reclining seats any time.

I always find it fascinating that in America, people talking or making noise in the theatre is apparently a thing? I've been to at least a few movies and the absolute worst experience I had was a group of teens in the back row mumbling and giggling about something for like a minute before shutting up. At least my experience here in Sweden has been dead silent theatres. I can't imagine some fat american idiot commenting on the movie they're watching lol. Surely it'd be okay to tell them to shut up?

Reserved seating owns if only for those occasions where you get to kick people out of your seats right before the movie starts and they then have to wander around the place in the dark to find another, less lovely seat than the one they actually bought.

Reserved seating is also good because you can buy the seats to either side of you to further avoid the rabble.

I don't really blame goons that are "conflict-averse" I didn't have that problem when I was younger, I was more like a scrappy lil bitch with a big loving mouth. and tbh usually nothing happens, but, on one notable occasion, a methy-looking dude with a mohawk waited for us outside the theater and threw a bottle at my head, and another time, my friend, who's from south hayward and has better survival instincts, had to shut my stupid rear end up because I was about to get into it with a norte lol whoops that type of poo poo happens very, very rarely, but why roll the dice? you really don't need your epitaph to be "stabbed to death by a man who was talking over Batman and had nothing left to lose" you got dreams and poo poo

Collapsing Farts posted:Surely it'd be okay to tell them to shut up? It's okay but it's a) usually not all that common as it perhaps seems and b) usually just a comment once or twice throughout the movie so if you start a row over it who is really disturbing the theater more? Dead silent is weird, surely people laugh and gasp sometimes at least? Cubone posted:that type of poo poo happens very, very rarely, but why roll the dice? There's also this. You are in America. It is rare but people do actually get shot or stabbed for less lol.

Wait till you find out Americans also clap at the credits of the movie if they enjoyed it. I can kinda understand clapping at a smooth successful flight/landing. You're happy your not dead and there's a chance the pilots might hear your appreciation. Clapping at the movie theatre is like clapping for a jukebox

The funniest part is, I've actually seen people leave the theater and complain if these cheap rear end ads don't play before the trailer. Old man winkerbean will not stand idly by and miss a killer commercial about his local dentist!

I generally book entire rows so I don't have to worry about sitting next to anyone I don't know. If I know them, they're at least a seat away until they've proven that they will only improve my viewing experience, never hinder it. here's a short, though exhaustive, list of ways in which one could improve my epxerience: - smell good - good laugh - nice personality - enjoys long nights on summoner's rift - enjoys playing my Luna miracle mage deck in hearthstone unpleasantly turgid fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Jan 4, 2019 |
