People suck. At the most emotional scene in Project Hail Mary, some assholes phone started ringing with a duck quick ringtone, and she didn't stop it for half a minute, then she walks out of the theater while having a conversation. This is the problem with theatres, not the overpriced sugar products.

And poor projector quality is getting on my nerves.

I haven't had a noise problem in a long time, but my last two theater visits (both PHM) both had seat kicking incidents.

And yes, I always drive to a theater a town over because of visual quality. I saw Dune with some friends at a local theater, and all the bright desert shots were ruined by wrinkles in the screen.

At this point, I'm probably averaging less than one theater visit per year.

They have been enshittifying theatres since the 90s and wondering why no one wants to go any more.

Went to see the 99-min Mario shillfest, some kid had his bare feet on the little table where they place your food.

And the projector screen wasn't cleaned.

Theater quality has gone down the fucking tubes.
