Movies

To this point I have zero interest in "premium" experience exhibition. What am I missing exactly? I'll tell you what I cherish most... Goodvibe61 Jul 15, 18:22

Nice rant! I used to go to the movies twice a week until earlier this decade. Now I barely go to the movies anymore. FabioParme Jul 15, 18:38

i grew up in a small town with basically two theaters (one AMC sixplex and a regional 3-screen shoebox). all i miss are the great movies slipping jimmy Jul 15, 18:50

Every generation is defined by the inventions they grow up with. The internet and cell phones present challenges that no one thought would Catzan Jul 15, 19:38

Do you have an Alamo Drafthouse near you? Only place that really enforces quiet and no cell phones {nm} bennyg1985 Jul 15, 19:50

I'm 45 minutes from downtown L.A., so hopefully by the end of the year I can have the pleasure of experiencing the Alamo. {nm} Goodvibe61 Jul 15, 21:33

I'm with you 95% of the time. I've found it easy to get good quiet showtimes, although that may be in large part the area I live in MattW Jul 15, 20:51

The best theater experience I've had in 2018 for a new film was A Quiet Place. The audience went with it and respected it and it was awesome {nm} Goodvibe61 Jul 15, 21:03

And at the Jack White concert I went to a few months ago, they secured all devices in the lobby. No devices allowed in the theater. Goodvibe61 Jul 15, 21:08

In what part of the country do you live? Frequent movie-goer. I never see a cell phone past previews, teens included. {nm} PhoneHome Jul 16, 04:41

The elderly are a much bigger problem than kids IMO. {nm} skunkrunner Jul 16, 07:14

thankfully I haven't had any bad experiences with cell phone users, etc....dunno if it's because I'm in the SoCal suburbs {nm} tealfan Jul 16, 08:46

Take a flashlight with you and any time someone uses their cell phone or chats loudly shine it on them. DTravel Jul 16, 10:13
