That's one reason why horror movies can be hit or miss....sometimes it's more about the crowd in the theater and their reaction than the movie itself.  A mediocre flick can seem much better if the crowds into it. I suppose the same could be said for some comedies too.

Whatever...theaters for the most part suck ass anyway.

lol....i will never ever ever ever understand this...there is nothing more american or as simple and awesome as going out to dinner and/or drinks and a movie

america is going to hell with all this technology....if it isnt video games causing kids to not play pick up sports anymore then its keeping people home from the movies because they can download for free and watch on their ipad...or they somehow have been hoodwinked into actually thinking a blueray on an hd tv is somehow even remotely close to a theater experience or its kids these days not listening to full albums anymore...everyone has to make a stupid mix on an ipod...does anyone listen to an album from start to finsih anymore?...farg people cant even listen to a full song before itouching it to another track....then you actually have the dopes who would rather watch a game at home on tv than go to it becaus they can see the pitch track in hd....basically people dont wanna leave their homes anymore and have the least possible human interaction than can......farg this country

movie theaters do suck though

the problem is all the black people talking through the feature and stabbing or shooting or raping you if you dare complain

well, that and the commercials...paying money to watch commercials=the suck

i don't mind paying 12 bucks to see a movie.  i do mind paying 16 bucks for 30 cents worth of soda and popcorn.

ice grillin you

we got a popcorn two drinks and goobers last night for 19 bucks....shtein is crazy

lots of times tho we dont get a single concession item....but i know with seedlings thats impossible

but btwn groupon and livinglocal and all these other sites you can get unbelievably cheap movie tickets

hell price club sells movie tickets for 7.50 that come with no restrictions

i cant remember the last time i paid even close to full price for a movie

last night i used the tickets from the link sunny posted a few weeks ago...i think they were $4 seats or something

In other words, if you want to go to a movie theater and not feel like you've been wallet-raped, you have to:

join an internet group buying site and monitor their offers until a movie one pops
or
join (pay) a price club warehouse chain type store

and

pack your own snacks (sneak them in, risking forfeiture of your ticket should the jews who run the place find you out)

then

suffer through commercials

so

you can have your ears blasted out, freeze your tits off in climate controlled 50 degree AC, and hear the commentary of the idiot Americans who surround you


all of this on the off chance---let's be charitable and call it 50/50---that the movie itself won't completely suck

NO THANKS

The only reason to go to a theater at this point is for the spectacle films, like say Jurassic Park, that will be better experienced on a giant screen with surround sound.
And in general, you go into a movie like that assuming at best it will be rote mindlless entertainment.

Why would you go through all the shtein listed above to see a film like The King's Speech or The Social Network which works just as well on your TV?

put it this way if you are worried about spending $20 on movie tickets** then you probably shouldnt ever be leaving your house anyway as you have much bigger problems and worries in life than where you watch your movies

the rest of those things you mentioned (cept commericals) simply dont exist in 95% of the movie theaters in the world and are just a way of saying i cant afford to go to the movies


** - or especially "packing snacks" lololol

I don't go to movies.  If I've been to the theatre five times in the last five years, I'd be surprised.

I pack in a flask.
