Jim Barris posted:I go to the movies fairly often and I only very rarely see someone using a phone or talking loudly. Then again, I tend to go either super late or super early so half the time it's just me, an old guy, and some couple making out in the back that compromises the entire audience. I don't know though when I went and saw star wars over the holidays the theater was packed and no one used their phone but some lady did bring a baby that started crying but she got up and left the theater immediately and didn't come back till the baby calmed down. I can't really get too mad about people breaking the rules at a theater though cause I almost always sneak in liquor. That was my baby, sorry.

All the theaters around here have been renovated in the last few years. They've all added bars. One has reserved seating that you pick out when you buy your ticket. Another one is dinner-and-a-movie style now. I must be behind the times, because all of that just seems annoying.

Another one is dinner-and-a-movie style now. It's actually good to be able to order alcoholic beverages and watch a movie. I mean yeah you can just sneak in some but it's more annoying, and having actual decent food options than poo poo pop corn is nice. Part of the fun of movies is more collective communal lively audience, like an Alamo Drafthouse, at least for me but I guess to each their own.

That was the first thing I noticed about the Regal here, back home I'm used to stepped seating and a huge screen... The one here is all flat seats and a small screen that's quite annoyingly high up. Not cool. Other than that it's pretty quiet and I saw Zootopia in a screening with just 2 other people in it recently, which was nice.

TOOT BOOT posted:Drive Ins are good. You can sit in your own car with your own climate control I dunno about that. I left my car running with the AC on at a drive-in recently and some guy knocked on my window and asked me to turn the car off because having the engine on means the rear lights are on the entire time and this bothered him. I thought he was just being a whiny bitch until I looked around and noticed I was literally the only person with the AC on. So either this particular drive-in has some unwritten rule about running your car during the movie, or they all have that unwritten rule and the people near you hate you but don't say anything. My wife actually said I was nuts for keeping it on even before this guy complained because she said I am wasting a ridiculous amount of gas, but loving mosquitoes, man!

Why would you ever go watch a movie in a movie theater, it's expensive and the "moviegoing experience" means being constantly annoyed at tiny poo poo while you're trying to watch what you paid money for

Yeah, "moviegoing experience" is almost as anachronistic as "commercial flight experience" at this point.

You can sit in your own car with your own climate control, some of them let you bring in outside food, free wifi, just a vastly more chill experience than sitting in the theater. all drive-ins, in fact, all theaters, allow you to bring your own food. sometimes they just make you work for it. I said come in! posted:White people are obsessed with bringing back the 1950s. we ought to bring back the 60s tbh. legalize LSD!

Yeah every time I've gone people have the car engines shut off even if that means their car ain't starting after the show because they've been blasting the movie on their ridiculous sound system. A movie during a nice summer evening with the windows down sounds great. Then you realize that smokers go to drive-ins because it's the only place you can smoke during a movie. Also depending on how it's configured, you can easily get other movies you want to see spoiled because the screen is right in your peripheral view. I had Transformers 2 spoiled for me that way but luckily it was only Transformers 2 That70sShirt posted:Yeah, drive-ins are far from perfect. On a recent trip to the local drive-in the family in the car(s) next to ours let their nine kids run around playing flashlight tag the entire loving movie. They were loud and noisy and just generally lovely kids. At one point they shined their flashlights directly into our eyes and, even after telling them not to do that, they kept coming back to do it every 10 minutes or so. Parents didn't do poo poo about it. It was like they just let their kids loose on a playground or something. The last time I went to one, some family brought a couch that looks like they normally leave on their porch and had it propped up perpendicular across the top of their pick-up bed. And had a pack-n-play set down in the dirt for their baby. And the truck next to me was blasting Drowning Pool before the movie started and there was a 3 year old girl named Destiny inside. It caters to a particular clientele

Yeah in hindsight I realized I was a dick for leaving my car running; if the person in front of me had their car's rear lights on the entire movie it would be pretty annoying. But in my defense, I honestly kind of forgot that rear lights stay on when a car is on even if it's parked. Total brain-fart. I forgot that people do turn their cars on randomly during the movie so it doesn't kill their battery. I do like drive-ins once in a while but the mosquitoes make it unbearable. I guess they do invent things to help that but it seems a bit ridiculous to buy one of these for the once every 5 years I go to a drive-in.
