The Lounge of Ice and Fire

[Perfect Cell]

...Seriously, **** Spider-Man movies.

 

[squeekness]

At my showing of Homecoming, a lady brought two small children, who insisted on commenting loudly on every single thing that appeared on screen. The lady didn't notice though, because she was constantly on her phone. She also got up and left repeatedly, leaving the spawn to literally roam freely.

I am fairly confident that if I took a five step stride, I could have thrown one of those kids from one end of the theatre to the other. It's an inclined plane, I'll cover it.

I wôuld never do that, bring kids in too small to enjoy the movie. It costs too much to waste it like that. Sorry you had a bad time.

I saw the remarks Nolan made about Netflix, and how he feels it is an affront to a theatre experience. But then I saw this article: http://www.indiewire.com/2017/07/netflix-christopher-nolan-theatrical-distribution-1201857805/, which perfectly sums up my opinion on the matter.

I used to love going to the movies, but as I've grown older, I've also grown to hate the experience. I hate crowds. I hate the people who can't stop talking, or can't stop checking their phones, or can't find babysitters for their mewling infants. I hate assigned seating, because no matter what, some chuckle**** will choose the seat right beside my group, even though there were dozens of options with no neighbours. I hate the poor quality of the regular screens. I hate that I have to pay $5 more just to get a clear screen with IMAX or UltraAVX. I hate theatre food. I hate theatre food prices. Hate hate hate hate HATE HATE HATE.

Netflix didn't make me feel that way... if theatres fixed their ****, maybe this stuff wouldn't happen as much.

I still love the experience of going to the movies. But I will say it's getting too expensive now and there are like a ton of movies a year that I'd like to go see lol. But if Netflix putting out quality shows like Daredevil, Luke Cage, and now The Punisher, and HBO with epic movie quality stuff like Game of Thrones Id rather just stay home and watch that.

are you guys going to movies at the right time? when are you going?

 

[squeekness]

I like to go early, first show of the day. There's a lot less annoying people then.

What is the "right" time to see a movie? Because recently I've gone at 7pm on a Friday, noon on a Saturday, and 3pm on a Wednesday... and stuff like this always invariably happens, regardless of the time.

Where im currently living, most theatres have 2 dollar tuesdays. If more theatres did that that'd be the perfect time to go, plus all the loud adolsecent children are probably all gonna be in school.

We have discount Tuesdays as well, but they tend to be the most packed of all showings, since they're the cheapest. The theatres here only have matinees on the weekends, or weekdays during the summer.

I mean, I guess one solution would be to wait a week to see a movie, and let the crowds die down... but I want it now...

$2 Tuesdays?!? Where do you live? Never see pricing in a city.

At times like that I sometimes feel Herod was a very misunderstood historical figure. You just take the d away and get the real deal.

Im not in a city either and I don't even see that, either.

I had a kid crying in my Homecoming showing yesterday too but at least the parent took them out after a little while till they stopped.

 

[squeekness]

Someone brought an infant to my showing of Apes but the kid was pretty much quiet. Some folks just can't afford a babysitter.

 

[Reek]

and these are reasons i rarely go to cinemas. unless its a real event, i'll be fine waiting to watch it in peace on my big screen with headphones on.

 

[squeekness]

The prices have gone up too much for me to go all the time like I used to. We go maybe four, five times a year now. Mostly big summer movies.

haha i live in the bay area, Cali...yea the two dollar matinee ***** is legit. All the snacks; popcorn, nachos, sodas etc all still cost the same tho.

 

[squeekness]

Five bucks for a small popcorn.

I don't really get that. Isn't it a bit like saying I can't afford a lead for my dangerous dog so I just let him go around killing babies in the park when we go for a walk? t:

Lol, true. I know that I never brought my daughter to the movies until she was five or so and then only kid movies. Part of being a parent is you sometimes have to miss out on things.

Yeah, my sister used to go to all of these films but has stopped now that she's had a daughter. Will start again when she's old enough.

If someone had just taken the D away from that lady at the Homecoming showing, none of this would have ever happened, amirite?

That's what DVDs are for, lol. Probably cheaper than going out anyhow.

Rewatching Episode 1 right now. Euron really was pretty good. So much better than before. He's converted me with that little scene.

I rewatched it earlier today myself. I still like poor Sam's punishing daily grind.
