Let's see...fight traffic, find parking, crazy price, uncomfortable seating, can't control the heating or cooling, can't lower the volume or turn it up, can't stand up and sing along, can't text or take a call, can't pause for bathroom break, can't rewind cuz you missed that one part, it's too big or too far became of seating, other people are doing X thing, a crazy person may end your life after or during a shitty movie you were invited to, ticket master and ticket slave relationship......yeah no appetite.

    They also started making everything reserved seating. I used to go spontaneously to the movie theater when I was bored. Then they started the erosion with the "luxury" theaters where they served food and drink to your seat, and then it became run-of-the-mill theaters that wanted you to pre-purchase tickets using fandango or whatever and select seating assignments before even arriving.

    I'm just not going to tolerate the same bullshit with the movies that I find barely tolerable to attend concerts and other live events. It's not that great an experience. It's a fucking movie. And nowadays, they're usually streaming a week after theater release.
