Movies

+1. The last movie I saw in theaters was Spider-Man: FFH. After that, had little desire to visit the theaters.

Posted by: ~JPV~ (a.k.a -JPV-) on Nov 20, 09:37 in response to 3ebfan511's post For me its the opposite...

A few reasons why: 1. Only takes one person to ruin the experience (eating popcorn with their mouths open, cell phones ringing, idle chattering). 2. While I like having reserved seats, for the big movies you would have to get your tickets sometimes 2-3 weeks ahead of time, for myself I go to the movies depending on my energy levels, if one day I'm tired, not sure I want to sit through a 2.5 hour+ movie. 3. I have an extensive collection (not to mention the content on YouTube, Disney+, etc), so plenty to watch and can wait the 3-4 months until it's released on home video.

Even me, a DC fan, skipped Joker and Birds of Prey. Was patient enough and checked them out when they were released for home viewing.

Seems like anyone and everyone is jumping on the bandwagon to get rid of theatrical. It amazes me. goodvibe61 Nov 19, 18:36

Studios shift to direct to consumer first I agree is destructive especially multi-year window deals. notfabio Nov 19, 19:09

Well said! No matter how much is spent on a home system, and I've been in elaborate ones, the cinema experience far exceeds! {nm} PhoneHome Nov 20, 05:03

I kinda get that. I'm enjoying more intimate movies at home now. Plus, no upcoming movie will replicate the Avengers: Endgame experience. {nm} Jay_Beezy Nov 20, 06:58

I agree with 3ebfan511's first paragraph 100%. I never really see a reason to go to the theater, for the very reasons they stated. {nm} Buckee Nov 20, 07:12

This has nothing to do with being an introvert or extrovert TheWeekendWarrior Nov 20, 07:37

I don't know what that means... {nm} 3ebfan511 Nov 20, 08:20

You suggested that people that go to movie theaters more than twice a year are extroverts. I'm pointing out that this is false. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 20, 10:05

Well you don't know if its false, its a theory. You seem to say you are an extrovert...proving the point. Anyway the last few sentences.. 3ebfan511 Nov 20, 10:20

The flexibility is whats important. Once there is confidence in the market and people learn to cope with it, people will come back. Gogreen Nov 20, 07:30
