I just went to a pretty upscale movie theatre to see the Mando movie, out of curiosity. It:
Looked objectively worse than our TV
Was so loud I had to stuff napkin in my ear
Front loaded with ads, took a while to start
Was expensive,
With comically expensive snacks; we just snuck chips in
And we had to drive to it. And leave the dog at home :(
And we had a relatively “lucky” experience in a sparse theatre, upscale screen, with no one noisy near us or blocking our view, no ticket issues or unspeakable bathrooms or anything.
I’m not a cinema hater, either. There’s a Movie Tavern that serves real food during movies, and I find this enjoyable. Plus they run gimmicks/themes to make it fun.
But without an attached restaurant or something, I can’t understand why I’m supposed to go to the cinema anymore? I don’t have a lot of sympathy for them, if they aren’t going to try to adapt.
