Comment on There exist people who will go through the effort of leaving their home, traveling to a movie theatre, paying for a ticket, and sitting for 2-3 hours for a movie they claim "nobody wants to see"

I go to the theater every Sunday morning to the earliest showings of that day.

The theater chain in my town has a monthly subscription. $20/month and I can see 4 movies a week.

I don’t always love the theater itself, but the experience of seeing movies in theaters is very different than watching at home and I love that feeling.

I’m actively choosing to go to a new location in a dark room without distractions, to turn off my phone, to not speak, and to give the movie my full and complete attention. There’s something to that, which is hard for me to explain, but it changes my relationship to the movie.

Sometimes people are shitty, talking or texting, but I find that it doesn’t actually happen much. Perhaps I has something to do seeing early movies, rather than prime time. I don’t know.

Unless something happens to drastically alter my ability to enjoy the experience, I don’t foresee that I will ever stop going.

That’s good. I think you’re misunderstanding my post. The point is about people who whine about new movies, saying “nobody wants this” but then go out of their way to see it. It would be one thing if they were watching it at home and putting less effort in, but they will go to the theatre and put all that effort and money in for a movie they claim shouldn’t be made because nobody wants it

  I initially did but I saw you comment on another post clarifying. I opted to leave my comment up because the movie going experience is important to me and I wanted to share it with others. :)
