And even further, only those exact same two seats are ‘taken’ for every single showing.

I thought for sure the after church showings tomorrow would be at least somewhat full, but nope.

    Many have upgraded to extra comfy recliners, some with pairs of seats you can raise the center arm rest and get cozy. With less than half the seats that they used to have, it’s far more comfortable.

      Lol it’s funny to me that theaters think that’s what’ll save them. I don’t go to movies, not because the old seats, but because movies are all terrible remakes and reboots that I don’t want to see, and you have to take out a second mortgage just to be able to afford tickets and snacks. Why would I go? I’ll wait until the torrent pops up if I even want to see it at all, thanks.

        I mean, not entirely. I went to see Longlegs recently, that was amazing and not a reboot rehash. When Makoto Shinkai releases an anime film my theater will have it there. I never thought I’d be able to see anime films on the big screen.

        Studio Ghibli did a Ghibli Fest last year showing old movies again in theaters, I watched Spirited Away and it was great. Tickets are usually like 14 bucks, and yeah, buying snacks at a theater is for dummies, just sneak something in or have the self control to not snack at the movies.

        You have some valid points, but are being very hyperbolic. Not all movies are reboots and it doesn’t cost all that much compared to other date ideas and such as long as you have some self control.

          Long legs is one of the like 6 movies I’ve wanted to see since about 2010. Still gonna wait for the torrent though as I mentioned because I don’t feel like selling a kidney for some buncha crunch.

          I like it even less as a date idea. I want to talk to my date not sit quietly next to them for 2 hours, and if it is something that will hinder conversation let’s at least go see some live music or a theater production or something like that. Personally I’d rather go to the nearest botanical gardens.

          The last movie I saw in theaters was 9 lmao, which came out 09/09/2009. Probably going to stay that way for a good long while, too.
