I’m a huge fan for films; but shoving a large group of rude, loud and obnoxious people into a large room isn’t exactly my ideal method as to how I should enjoy them.
Every time! Every, single time there has to be that one someone or something that ruins the experience.
The entire experience, as a whole, is terrible and outdated.
It’s a joke from the getgo.
The Types of People
Once you walk in and enter the theater, you see one of two types of people:
- the people that are genuinely excited as to whatever they’re about to see or have just seen; and
- the people who are disappointed because the movie was terrible and/or because their experience was frustrating beyond relief
Something is always broken. You can’t just go and pick up your tickets, that’d be too easy.
Instead you have to wait in line with all the others, making the whole “ordering tickets online” method completely redundant.
And then you get to the food the theaters sell.
Not only is it four times more expensive than your local store across the street (which I understand because the films alone don’t make much profit for them), but why popcorn?!
Popcorn’s an inherently noisy foodstuff to ram down your mouth. It’s a subtle noise, despite the outspoken name.
But dear God, it’s terrible!
I Don't Know About You..
…but I am a very noise-conscious person when it comes to experiences like movie theaters.
I won’t make any noise unless it’s completely necessary.
Sometimes I’ll even make a noise, like to go in to my bag and pick up a drink, but immediately put it back because I don’t want to be the asshole that ruins someone else’s experience.
I don’t know why I even bother, when there’s that one huge bloke that keeps talking to himself, the teenagers sat in your peripheral vision whom are playing on their phones, and that one bastard that is desperately trying to open their bag of chip,
