Movies

Just because you don't have standards or expect theatres/people that go there to be respectful doesn't mean others feel the same way.

Most people pay good money to go to a movie and therefore should expect a good experience free of annoyance. Thankfully, I get to go for free most of the time but still expect the same thing because it's simple human decency to be respectful of others, especially in a public setting like that.

Why would people see this in theatres when it'll play just as well once it hits DVD/Blu-ray? HarryWarden Aug 10, 22:12

Well clearly there is an audience for it....or are you saying that African American films and or Indies do not deserve theatrical release? {nm} 1bloke Aug 10, 22:22

Yes, Harry, are you saying that? {nm} Apokalips Aug 10, 22:50

why did King's Speech make $138 million in theaters? or Midnight in Paris make $45 million?? mickpix Aug 10, 22:30

Not every CGI spectacle is crap. Critics actually liked the majority of this summer's so-called spectacles. {nm} HarryWarden Aug 10, 22:34

And you can't really argue that King's Speech plays just as well on DVD/Blu-ray if not better since you don't have other people using HarryWarden Aug 10, 22:38

If you go to a good theater, just about everything but movies shot on consumer-grade video play better in theaters. {nm} dsbman Aug 10, 22:48

Good point....can't tell you how many times I've yelled "Stop texting I can't hear the movie" to the guy 4 rows down alfpaul Aug 10, 22:48

Screw it, let's just get rid of the theater experience as a whole! Who needs it?! Apokalips Aug 10, 22:58

People have been talking in movie theaters since audiences paid to watch shadows projected on a wall. It's just a fact of life. {nm} Apokalips Aug 10, 23:11

When Troy came out in 2004, a random girl sat on my lap to watch the movie. O.o {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 11, 02:25

there are less distractions at the theater than at my house {nm} islander Aug 11, 05:12

HAHA. I could definitely see that. {nm} Juiced Aug 11, 06:29

Cinema doesn't have to be only about spectacle. Jane_Citizen Aug 11, 01:41

I agree. As much as I love action movies etc, I still enjoy character-driven stories about people's relationships with each other. accountant_4_Jesus Aug 11, 02:14

IMO, seeing THELP in theaters is about seeing it early. The fans of the book don't want to wait to be able to discuss it. {nm} nat1kos Aug 11, 06:49

Hmm .. Is she hacking my computer now? grammar Aug 11, 03:08

Nah, she can just read your thoughts :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Aug 11, 03:11
