Yeah no shit. The theatre experience has been degraded into a capitalist wank fest.
Paying a ludicrous about of money for tickets and some of the worst snacks. To then be bombarded with annoying guests, obnoxious trailers and a sound systems so overwhelmingly base heavy that you can’t hear the dialogue between explosions.
No pausing for more snacks, to use the toilet or have a toke.
Let alone the film quality these days has been degraded to being glorified features length commercials. Nothing worth bearing through that shitshow of an experience, to get to watch something on a slightly bigger screen.
The theatre is arguably a worse experience in every way possible.
Want to watch a movie? Stay at home. Spend that money doing something else outside of the theatres.
I saved money and invested in a sound system, 4k TV, light blocking blinds and nice seating. All, just to enjoy @home
